What is Concrete Reinforcing Rebar Support Chairs and Why Do We Use Them?

Benefits of Plastic vs. Metal Rebar Chairs

Rebar chairs are specially designed components made for supporting rebars, which are embedded metal bars used to reinforce newly-poured concrete. Rebars are laid out in a crisscross grid pattern and are locked together with the rebar chairs before the fresh concrete is poured over them. This reinforcement is necessary when laying the foundation for a new building.

Rebar chairs can be made of metal, but they can also be produced in tough plastic. Some of the reasons plastic rebar chairs have an advantage include:

• High resistance to solvents, oils, and many acids
• Lightweight durable plastic lends to easier handling
• Fast and convenient snap-lock design saves time
• Eliminates tying at support points
• Low cost per unit

Plastic is one of the most important materials used in construction projects due to it's cost-effective substitute for metal components. Thermoplastic rebar chairs manufactured by Retlaw Industries are guaranteed to never rust or crack, ensuring they will never budge during construction!
