Rockworks climbing wall systems are designed to provide the most advanced range of options currently available. The range includes realistic, simulated rock surfaces and the dynamic geometry of modular competition walls. For maximum variety in route setting and continuous adaptability all climbing wall systems are equipped with a network of fixing points for interchangeable bolt on and inset holds.
| Realform |
The Realform climbing surface represents a "state of the art" development
in climbing wall construction and realistically captures the 3D complexity
of natural rock.
This system can be used to create any type of climbing wall from free-standing boulders and towers to competition and lead walls. Every wall is uniquely designed to suit the clients requirements and an extensive variety of features which replicate real rock can be incorporated into the climbing surface. Bolt on and inset holds can also be included to complement the permanent features and provide continuous flexibility in route setting.
The
walls are sculpted from resinous concrete on a flame-retardant fibreglass
base by a team of highly experienced craftsmen and climbers. An extensive
variety of climbing features can be created, including cracks, tufas,
pockets, and flakes. Smaller features such as foot smears and finger edges
are then added and a final surface coating is applied to enhance the overall
texture.
The
Realform system can create the most realistic and aesthetically appealing
climbing wall surfaces currently available. Highly featured walls and
the smoother, three-dimensional curves of a competition lead wall provide
exciting technical challenges for climbers of all standards.
| Plyform |
Plyform provides
the most versatile and cost effective climbing wall system. The climbing
panels are manufactured on an 18mm plywood base and are provided with
a variety of customised surface finishes. These walls also incorporate
a high degree of variability in the combination of surface features with
a network of fixing points for bolt on holds. 
Plyform climbing walls can be designed for all requirements from highly featured slabs for beginners to the smooth curves of an overhanging competition wall.
High-relief Plyform panels incorporate a range of large features including flakes, pockets, cracks and flowstone formations. Bolt-on holds can be fitted to these panels at an average density of 5 per square metre.
Standard
Plyform panels are provided with smaller features including foot smears
and finger edges and a dense network of fixing sockets (up to 22 per square
metre) for maximum variety in route setting using bolt on holds.
Textured
Plyform panels are economic and versatile with a high friction surface
and 22 placements per square metre for bolt on holds.
These panels are ideal for use in combination with Rockworks screw on
macro features creating a multi-dimensional surface for more challenging
climbing.
| Transform |
Transform provides an interchangeable wall system, offering the ultimate
in flexible wall design.
Transform
is a moulded panel system incorporating integral surface features.
Rockworks have developed a new method of custom moulding features into
the surface of these panels. This allows each Transform panel to have
its own individual combination of permanent climbing features.
The
main advantage in this new technique over traditional moulded climbing
surfaces is that the predictability associated with existing cast systems
is eliminated, producing a unique climbing experience on every Transform
climbing wall.
The Transform panels can be manufactured in both flat and curved units which when combined offer a range of climbing wall profiles to challenge all abilities. The panels are complemented by the addition of bolt-on holds and inset discs for extended variety and adaptability.
| Bolt on Hold Wall System |
This is the simplest method by which to create a climbing wall. This cost effective system can be employed on any structurally sound surface, and involves the installation of a grid work of threaded sockets into which the holds can be fixed. Given suitable structural conditions a belay bar or lower-offs may also be installed.
Pupils at Selwyn junior mixed school,in the London Borough of Waltham forest, enjoy their external climbing wall with its striking mural of sea and mountain.
