The Dincel wall system is a permanent polymer formwork system for concrete walls and columns. Lightweight hollow profiles snap together on site, your crew places reinforcement to the engineer's drawing, and the assembled forms take a ready-mixed pour. The polymer formwork stays in place as a protective wall skin.
Dincel comes in four principal profile sizes: 110mm, 155mm, 200mm and 275mm. Each one carries different dimensions, available lengths, accessories and applications, from party walls and corridors through to retaining walls, lift shafts, tanks and deep beams.
If you're specifying a wall system and need to know which profile fits, this compares the four side by side, covers the accessory range and sets out what to confirm before you commit to a size.
Key takeaways
Module width isn't the profile name. The 110mm, 155mm and 200mm profiles are 333mm wide per module. The 275mm profile is 275mm.
All four share the same snap-lock joint, crack-control technology, waterproof skin and manufacturer-stated fire and acoustic testing. What differs is thickness, length range and accessory availability.
Curved and angled walls need the Angle Profile, which only comes on the 200mm and
275mm. That single constraint can decide your profile before the loads do.
Final selection is an engineering call, not a "thicker is better" one.
What is the Dincel Wall System?
Dincel is a modular stay-in-place polymer formwork system for concrete walls and columns. Hollow profiles snap together on site, your crew places reinforcement to the engineer's drawing, and the assembled forms take a ready-mixed pour. The polymer shell never gets stripped. It stays on the finished wall as a durable, impervious skin.
Dincel is developed in Australia and certified by the University of New South Wales and CSIRO. For the system background, compliance details, and how it compares with conventional methods, read our complete Dincel wall guide or our explainer on permanent formwork systems.

A note about “profile size” and module width: The profile name gives you the nominal wall thickness, not the panel's horizontal module. A 110mm, 155mm or 200mm Dincel wall uses profiles that are each 333mm wide. The 275mm profile is square, 275mm thick and 275mm wide. Where your wall length doesn't land on a full module, profiles get cut on site.
Dincel 110mm profile
The Dincel 110mm profile is the range’s compact wall option. Dincel lists it as ideal for party walls, corridors and external walls and describes it as a replacement option for brick or 140mm block walls, subject to project engineering.
110mm product specifications
Nominal wall thickness: 110mm
Module width: 333mm
Short lengths: 1200mm to 1650mm in 150mm increments
Standard lengths: 2850mm, 3000mm, 3300mm and 3600mm
Custom lengths: 1800mm to 7950mm
Accessory stock length: 3000mm
What is the 110mm Dincel profile ideal for?
Its relatively slim build makes the 110mm profile a logical starting point where wall thickness and usable floor area matter. Published applications include:
Intertenancy or party walls
Corridors
External walls
Acoustic and fire performance must be assessed as a complete wall system, including any linings and junction details. Dincel publishes configuration-specific acoustic and fire data; the bare profile size alone does not establish project compliance.
110mm accessories
The published accessory range includes the End Cap (110P-EC), Joiner (110P-J), Guide (110P-G), Top Cap (110P-TC), Window Sill/Wall Splicer (110P-WS), Vertical Reo Clip (250PC), Edge Guide (110P-EG), Corner Profile (110P-3), D-Angle (D-ANG50) and screws. Dincel states these accessories are stocked in 3000mm lengths.
Dincel 155mm profile
The Dincel 155mm profile extends the system into a wider selection of structural and below-ground applications. Dincel identifies it for external walls, party walls and corridors as well as lift shafts, stairwells, basement walls and retaining walls.
155mm product specifications
Nominal wall thickness: 155mm
Module width: 333mm
Short lengths: 1200mm to 1650mm in 150mm increments
Standard lengths: 2850mm, 3000mm, 3300mm and 3600mm
Custom lengths: 1800mm to 7950mm
Accessory stock length: 3000mm
What is the 155mm Dincel profile ideal for?
The 155mm profile sits between the compact 110mm option and the heavier 200mm system. Its published applications include:
External and party walls
Corridors
Lift shafts and stairwells
Dincel describes this profile as a possible replacement for 140mm block, 190mm block and 150mm precast or tilt-up walls. That description is a comparison guide, not a like-for-like engineering substitution: geometry, loads, reinforcement, fire, acoustic and waterproofing requirements still have to be checked.
155mm accessories
The range includes the End Cap (155P-EC), Joiner (155P-J), Stop End (155P-SE), Guide (155P-G), Top Cap (155P-TC), Vertical Reo Clip (250PC), Corner Profile (155P-3), Window Sill/Wall Splicer (155P-WS), D-Angle (D-ANG50) and screws. Published stock length is 3000mm.
Dincel 200mm profile
The Dincel 200mm profile is the broadest all-round heavy-duty product in the range. The manufacturer lists applications extending from conventional external and basement walls to shear walls, columns, deep beams, planter boxes, swimming pools and tanks.
200mm product specifications
Nominal wall thickness: 200mm
Module width: 333mm
Short lengths: 1200mm to 1650mm in 150mm increments
Standard lengths: 2850mm, 3000mm, 3150mm, 3300mm, 3450mm and 3600mm
Custom lengths: 1800mm to 7950mm
Accessory stock length: 3600mm
What is the 200mm Dincel profile ideal for?
Application areas include:
External, shear, basement and retaining walls
Lift shafts and stairwells
Structural columns and deep beams
Planter boxes
Swimming pools and tanks
200mm precast or tilt-up applications
Dincel positions the profile as a replacement option for 190mm block, 200mm in-situ concrete walls and 200mm precast or tilt-up. The additional standard lengths at 3150mm and 3450mm can also give project teams more ordering options than the thinner profiles.
200mm accessories
The 200mm system has the most extensive published accessory list: Spacer 50mm (200P-2), End Cap (200P-EC), Joiner (200P-J), Guide (200P-G), Top Cap (200P-TC), Window Sill/Wall Splicer (200P-WS), Stop End (200P-SE), Vertical Reo Clips (250PC and 200P-VRC), Edge Guide (200P-EG), Angle Profile (200P-4), Corner Profile (200P-5), Centre Hole (200P-1C), D-Angle (D-ANG50) and screws. Accessories are listed in 3600mm stock lengths.
Dincel 275mm profile
The Dincel 275mm profile is the largest and most specialised of the four products. It is designed around demanding structural and water-related applications, including submerged conditions.
275mm product specifications
Nominal wall thickness: 275mm
Module width: 275mm
Short lengths: 1200mm to 1650mm in 150mm increments
Standard lengths: 2850mm, 3000mm and 3600mm
Custom lengths: 1800mm to 6525mm

What is the 275mm Dincel profile ideal for?
Dincel’s published applications include:
Deep beams
Lift shafts and stairwells
Swimming pools and tanks
Columns and pits
Detention tanks
Basements, including submerged conditions
The manufacturer describes it as a replacement option for 290mm block and 300mm in-situ concrete walls. Its 6525mm maximum custom length is shorter than the 7950mm maximum published for the other profiles, which should be considered during set-out and procurement planning.
275mm accessories
The range includes the Top Cap (275P-TC), End Cap (275P-EC), Joiner (275P-J), Window Sill/Wall Splicer (275P-WS), Centre Hole (275P-1C), Corner Profile (275P-3), Angle Profile (275P-4), Column Kit and screws. Accessories are listed in 3600mm stock lengths.
Dincel Wall System Accessories
Accessories turn straight profiles into buildable wall layouts with ends, corners, openings, junctions, curves and reinforcement detailing.
Accessory | Function | Availability |
Angle Profile | Curved, circular or waved walls and corners in 15° increments without intermediate joints | 200mm and 275mm profiles |
Window Sill/Wall Splicer | Forms a window sill or head, or splices profiles installed vertically or horizontally | All profiles |
Corner Profile | Creates a 90-degree wall corner | All profiles |
End Cap | Closes a vertical wall end for a finished termination | All profiles |
Joiner | Connects compatible profile conditions in the wall layout | Profile-specific |
Guide/Edge Guide | Helps locate and restrain forms during set-out and assembly | Profile-specific |
Top Cap/Stop End | Terminates selected profile conditions | Profile-specific |
Reo Clip | Supports reinforcement positioning where specified | Selected profiles/configurations |
Use profile-specific product codes on drawings and orders. An accessory for one wall thickness won't necessarily suit another.
How to Choose the Right Dincel Profile
Pick the smallest compliant, practical profile that satisfies the engineered design, the architectural brief and your construction sequence. Thicker isn't better, it's just more concrete and more floor area gone.
Work through these before you order:
Structural actions: Axial, lateral, eccentric, soil and hydrostatic loads, plus wall slenderness and support conditions.
Application: Party wall, facade, lift core, basement, retaining wall, pool, tank, column or deep beam.
Required fire resistance: Confirm the required FRL and the tested or assessed complete wall system.
Acoustic target:Check Rw and Rw+Ctr against linings, junctions and flanking paths.
Water exposure: Water pressure, wall-floor junctions, penetrations, drainage and any submerged condition.
Reinforcement and concrete design: Bar sizes, spacings, laps, concrete grade and placement, all to the engineer's AS 3600 design.
Wall geometry: Module width, curves, corners, openings, wall ends and the custom lengths available in each profile.
Site logistics: Access, storage, cutting, bracing, pump access, pour sequence and crew capability.
Procurement: Current profile and accessory stock lengths, custom fabrication lead time and quantities.
The pattern across the four is a clean progression. The 110mm and 155mm profiles cover most conventional building walls, the 200mm handles the bulk of heavy-duty structural work, and the 275mm addresses the system's most demanding conditions. Where the value sits is in getting the builder, engineer, architect and installer aligned on that choice early, before procurement locks the design in.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dincel Products
What sizes does the Dincel wall system come in?
Dincel’s four main profiles are 110mm, 155mm, 200mm and 275mm thick. The 110mm, 155mm and 200mm profiles have a 333mm module width. The 275mm profile is 275mm wide. Available panel lengths vary by profile, with custom lengths published up to 7950mm for the first three sizes and 6525mm for the 275mm profile.
Which Dincel profile suits a retaining wall?
Dincel lists the 155mm and 200mm profiles for retaining walls, while the 275mm profile serves more demanding below-ground and submerged applications. There is no universal retaining-wall size. The engineer selects the profile, concrete and reinforcement after considering wall height, soil pressure, surcharge, drainage, groundwater and support conditions.
Does profile thickness drive the cost per m²?
Less than most people expect. A thicker profile means more concrete per square metre, but wall height, reinforcement density, opening count, site access and pump reach move the number further. For the full breakdown of what sits inside a Dincel quote, read what a Dincel wall really costs on site.
Does Dincel walling need steel reinforcement?
Not always, and you can't assume either way. Dincel states its profile design can eliminate reinforcement in various applications and that crack-control steel may not be required. Structural reinforcement still goes in wherever the engineer's AS 3600 design specifies it. Loads, wall height, supports, exposure and fire requirements all feed that decision.
Can Dincel profiles form curved walls?
Yes, on the 200mm and 275mm profiles. The Angle Profile allows corners in 15° increments and forms curved, circular or waved walls without joints along the curve. It isn't available on the 110mm or 155mm, so a curved wall requirement can push your profile selection up a size on its own. Layout, radius, reinforcement, bracing and concrete placement still need project-specific design.
Is a Dincel wall waterproof?
Dincel’s permanent polymer skin is waterproof, and the manufacturer reports testing under 6m of water-head pressure. Complete waterproof performance still depends on correct panel connections, concrete placement and project-specific detailing at joints, penetrations, terminations and wall-floor junctions. Follow the current Dincel waterproofing documents and approved design.
Why choose the Dincel Structural Wall System?
Dincel Structural Walling is a certified, NCC-compliant system that offers fast and easy installation through lightweight snap-lock panels. Its permanent formwork improves concrete strength while reducing labour, materials, waste and overall construction costs.
