Steel Rebar
Steel reinforcing bar, also known as rebar, is a commonly used steel bar in the construction industry.
Rebar works as a tensioning device to reinforce concrete in buildings and other masonry structures to keep the concrete in a compressed state. On its own, concrete has strength in compression but lacks tension strength. Rebar is cast into concrete slab to carry the tensile loads, which compensates for imbalance.
The coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is very close to that of concrete, reducing internal stresses caused by changes in temperature.
We provide concrete frame and formwork contractors with a reliable source, for steel reinforcing bar is our mission and the key to our success.
We are suppliers of high yield steel reinforcing bar to BS8666:2005, please check our shape codes for further info
