Product Overview

The Ribon Continuous Interlocking Soffits is a revolutionary product that integrates multiple building components into one cohesive system, greatly reducing the need for multiple trades and sub-trade involvement. This system not only simplifies the construction process but also enhances efficiency and reduces on-site costs and delays. Made from Colorcote Magnaflow 0.55BMT zinc/aluminium/magnesium coated pre-painted steel, it is designed to withstand harsh conditions, including high-wind zones, ensuring durability and longevity. Its low-maintenance nature means it is easy to clean and maintain, making it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial applications.

Features and Benefits

For residential applications, Ribon Continuous Interlocking Soffits enhance the aesthetic appeal of any home with its high-quality contemporary finish.

This product is not only about aesthetics; it also offers practical benefits such as low maintenance, making it a convenient choice for homeowners.

In commercial settings, Ribon Continuous Interlocking Soffits is an ideal solution for multi-level apartment buildings, car parks, retirement villages, and retail projects. Its non-combustible material reduces fire hazards, and it has been rigorously tested to withstand wind loadings of up to 8.56KPa. The product’s durability means it requires less frequent maintenance, thereby reducing long-term costs.

The Ribon system also offers a complete solution for constructing eaves. By integrating soffit panels, fascia panels, spouting profiles, and downpipes into one consistent arrangement, it ensures a uniform look across all elements, all covered under one warranty. This integration not only enhances the overall appearance but also increases productivity by reducing the involvement of sub-trades.

For internal ceilings, especially in commercial buildings, the Ribon system’s easy-to-clean surface and sleek aesthetics make it an excellent choice. It has been successfully used in apartment building corridors, showrooms, and residential ceilings, providing a modern, clean look that is both practical and visually appealing.

How Ribon Works

The proprietary bracketing system of the Ribon Continuous Interlocking Soffits can be suspended or directly fixed to any building element. The interlocking design ensures a consistent and accurate installation, eliminating visible fixings and thereby reducing the risk of corrosion. Custom measurements and roll-forming of panels to length help minimize joins and waste, making this system not only efficient but also environmentally friendly. Metal, being 100% recyclable, does not contribute to toxic hazardous waste, aligning with sustainable building practices.
