RITEK® ROOF SOLUTIONS INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF A BUILDING

Ritek® Building Solutions was initially borne from the need to preserve our precious natural resources. Long before sustainability had become 'popular', our mission statement was to encourage sustainability and efficiency in the building industry. Ritek® has dedicated over 25 years to changing market perceptions and has made significant contributions to encouraging sustainable building practices.

Energy Conservation

Increase the efficiency of a building and utilise Ritek’s unvrivalled cantilever capability. Provide protection from glare allowing increased window openings, enhancing natural light. Ritek® insulated roof panels can further reduce energy needs and impact on emissions, are fibre free and help maintain temperatures for a higher level of thermal comfort. Further savings in project and energy costs are achieved by the elimination of material and trade labour costs for paint and eave linings.

Materials Efficiency & Waster Reduction

Ritek’s roof panels are prefabricated so they are quick and easy to install, reduce construction waste going back into landfill and allow for a safer and cleaner worksite. Ritek® roof system’s superior spanning and cantilever capability reduces the need for expensive and obtrusive support structures such as roof trusses and beams. Our roof panel can be disassembled and used in another building making it 100% recyclable in its entire form.

Indoor Environmental Quality

Make the most of local climatic conditions, capture cool breezes and improve interior space ventilation with a Ritek® roof. The prefinished ceiling lining of COLORBOND® sheeting means the insulation is completely contained, clean and non-allergenic as there are no volatile organic compounds (VOC) or Formaldehyde content on the finished product.

Durability

Our roof systems high yield strength and durability are low maintenance aside from the occasional wash down of soffits (can also be easily repaired with paint). Each roof panel is Colorbond® coated and proven in use, cyclone tested and achieves a Group 1 fire rating. Ritek® Roof Systems have been certified with Group 1 fire rating in accordance with the BCA2006 Specification C1.10a, which is the highest rating under the Building Council of Australia. It has a Smoke Growth Rate Index (SMOGRRC) <100. The Ritek® Lifesaver panel is suitable for use in harsh marine and corrosive environments.

Sustainable Projects

The Ecovillage at Currumbin, was awarded the world’s finest example of sustainable urban development and best residential subdivision. It also won the HIA Greensmart Building of the year award using Ritek’s Custom Roof Panel in their “Living Laboratory”. The roof was concave and was used to harvest rainwater and to provide thermal comfort to the building’s occupants.

About EPS

From a global warming perspective, it has been estimated that the effective application of EPS can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 50% when used in insulation application (PACIA, n.d.). Furthermore, the insulation performance of EPS does not deteriorate during its lifetime therefore the reduction in emissions lasts the full lifetime of a building. From a landfill perspective, EPS remains inert, non-biodegradable and non-toxic.
