Steel Rebar
Rebar is used to increase the tensile strength of a structure, most commonly for concrete reinforcement. This is because concrete has a very high compression strength, but lacks torsional or tensile strength to withstand other forces. There are a number of different styles and grades that rebar can come in, from carbon steel and ribbed to smooth fiberglass.

What is Steel Reinforcement Bars or Rebar？
In layman’s terms, rebar or steel reinforcement bar is a thin rod of toughened steel (or a collection of same) embedded into concrete structures to provide improved tensile strength. The principal benefit of using rebar in concrete is to make it more resistant to tension forces. Concrete is highly durable when it comes to compression forces being applied to it, such as the extensive weight of a building on its concrete foundations. However, tension forces acting along the length of the concrete in question can easily cause damage to even the thickest piece, without adequate reinforcement. This is why we use rebar in concrete piers, for instance. The concrete can handle the weight of the pier, its buildings, and its visitors without any problem – reinforced or not. However, the action of the waves pushing against the long edge of those pier legs would soon cause irreparable damage without the rebar adding strength and resilience to them. Different projects require different thicknesses of reinforcement bars. We supply a wide selection of rebar reinforcement:
- T8 Rebar – 8mm High Tensile Reinforcement Bar
- T10 Rebar – 10mm High Tensile Reinforcement Bar
- T12 Rebar – 12mm High Tensile Reinforcement Bar
- T16 Rebar – 16mm High Tensile Reinforcement Bar
- T20 Rebar – 20mm High Tensile Reinforcement Bar
- T25 Rebar – 25mm High Tensile Reinforcement Bar
- T32 Rebar – 32mm High Tensile Reinforcement Bar
- T40 Rebar – 40mm High Tensile Reinforcement Bar
All our steel reinforcement bars are produced to meet the standards set under BS4449 (2005) by the British Standards Institution. These regulations are for the manufacture of steel for the reinforcement of concrete.
