Fiberglass rebar

Particularly suitable for reinforcing elements that will be exposed to aggressive environments (reservoirs, wharf structures, canals, farm floors and gutters, roads and parking lots, fertilizer storage facilities, etc.). In such elements, it solves the main drawback of steel reinforcement - poor corrosion resistance.

Very suitable for creating connecting reinforcements of multi-layer partitions to break cold bridges and reduce heat losses of the structure.

Particularly suitable for structures that require magnetic or electromagnetic permeability (electrical network distribution panels, magnetic resonance rooms, etc.).

Suitable for elements that do not have very concentrated stresses, as well as elements that will be operated in a humid environment or in an aggressive environment (foundations, floors, retaining walls, plinth plates, etc.)

It can be used for structural frame elements (columns, beams, floor slabs, etc.) only after the responsible qualified designer has recalculated the structures. Due to the significantly lower modulus of elasticity of fiberglass reinforcement, the deformations will be approximately 4.6–6 times greater than those of steel at the same load, so this must be estimated and the total cross-sectional area of ​​the reinforcing bars increased accordingly. In general, the use of fiberglass reinforcement in such elements is irrational, unless there are very good reasons why steel reinforcement is not suitable for use (due to the required magnetic transparency or corrosion requirements).

It cannot be used for prestressed reinforced concrete structures due to fatigue.
