Fiberglass rebar, also known as GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) rebar, is a type of reinforcement material used in construction, particularly in concrete structures. It is an alternative to traditional steel reinforcement (rebar) and is composed of high-strength glass fibers embedded in a polymer resin matrix.
Fiberglass Rebar is a reinforcing material used in concrete to replace traditional steel rebar. Fiberglass rebar is made from fiberglass rovings, which gives the material strength, and vinyl ester resin ensures its long service life with excellent results.
Fiberglass Rebar For Concrete is the rebar most commonly used in concrete and masonry construction projects. It provides stronger structural support than wiring and provides tensile strength to concrete or masonry structures such as foundations, walls, driveways, and patios. Fiberglass Rebar For Concrete to provide more friction with concrete and prevent slipping. It strengthens concrete and helps prevent cracks. If cracks do occur, the rebar will help prevent them from spreading.
Fiberglass Rebar For Concrete replaces traditional steel rebar. Made from fiberglass rovings which give the material strength and vinyl ester resin ensuring its long life, it has been used with excellent results for over 20 years.
Forget the rust and weight of traditional steel for lighter, stronger, rust-resistant concrete rebar.
Fiberglass rebar is a more durable, proven and successful alternative to steel.
Tensile strength 2 times that of steel
Up to 7x weight reduction in concrete flat applications
4 times lighter than same size diameter
Fiberglass rebar will never rust, making the structure more durable
Advantages of fiberglass reinforcement over steel
Reinforcing steel for seawalls has a lifespan of more than 200 years
Available in stock and custom lengths.
Fiberglass steel bars are corrosion-resistant
Fiberglass rebar provides a comprehensive corrosion solution. Concrete structures reinforced with fiberglass rebar will not react to chloride-rich environments.
• Concrete corrodes easily
• Tunneling and Mining
• Architectural and historic preservation
• Concrete exposed to deicing chlorides
• Masonry reinforcement
• Concrete exposed to ocean chlorides
• Concrete is exposed to high voltages and electromagnetic fields
Fiberglass is a suitable alternative wherever steel bars or mesh are used. Fiberglass excels in applications that require high strength and are exposed to harsh environmental conditions. This includes seawalls, medical facilities and roads.
It is a non-conductive, non-magnetic building material ideal for compass calibration mats in medical and scientific facilities, light rail projects, electrical substations and airports.
Unlike steel rebar, fiberglass rebar is less susceptible to environmental conditions, which is advantageous when anchoring fiberglass rebar in concrete. It also has an extended shelf life when properly stored compared to steel bars.
Fiberglass rebar is 75% lighter than steel rebar. Fiberglass rebar can replace steel rebar to reduce labor and transportation burdens.
Exceeds the Tensile Strength of Steel
Fiberglass rebar has a tensile strength 3 times greater than Grade 40 rebar; fiberglass rebar has slightly lower shear strength.
Non-Conductive and Non-Ferrous Metals
Fiberglass rebar is ideal for projects with electromagnetic sensitivity. This need often arises for projects containing sensitive machinery often found around hospital radiology scanning rooms.
Chemical Resistant, Waterproof
Fiberglass rebar is more resistant to chemical attack than steel rebar, so there is no need to use chemical-resistant or waterproofing agents. Fiberglass rebar is valuable for projects where de-icing salts or corrosive chemicals are present.
Fiberglass Steel Bar Rust-Proof
This eliminates cracks due to spalling, making fiberglass an excellent choice for projects in extreme environments such as seawalls.
Safety Warning
When working with fiberglass, be sure to wear gloves and avoid direct skin contact to prevent fiberglass splinters.
