Description: High Ribbed Formwork is an expanded metal sheet product, specifically developed for use as permanent formwork to concrete. The profile of the open mesh, in combination with the High Ribbed Formwork tangs, allows the development of dense concrete nodules and indents on the face, forming an enhanced mechanical key for the second phase pour. The resulting surface is suitable for a rendered or tiled finish.

Hy-Rib  is primarily used in construction joint applications but it is also used to form wall, beam and column surfaces and slab soffits, where the formed surface will not be seen. It has also been used successfully for sprayed concrete applications.

Features:
High Ribbed Formwork  forms an enhanced mechanical key for the second phase pour. Joint surfaces require minimal preparation. 
All High Ribbed Formwork is colour coded to enable the easy identification of the steel type and gauge of the sheet. 
Formwork pressure is significantly less than that developed with traditional forming materials, reducing the overall support requirement. 
Concrete is easier to see and monitor during pour and the risk of trapped air and voids within the concrete is reduced.
