What Are Rebar Chairs Used For?

What Are Rebar Chairs Used For

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 criss-cross 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, like the rebars, can be made of metal, but that only increases the likelihood of them rusting and cracking over time, ruining the structural integrity of the building’s foundation. The thermoplastic rebar chairs manufactured by Retlaw Industries are guaranteed to never rust or crack, ensuring rebars will never budge during construction.

Precision Molded Plastic Rebar Chairs

Pouring reinforced concrete is a costly and complicated process, but is a necessity in high traffic or load-bearing areas. In order to get the most out of the steel reinforcing bars used in the concrete industry, proper spacing is a must.  

A doubly-reinforced structure with proper rebar spacing will withstand both tensile and compressive stresses, giving it a high tolerance for strain for its lifetime. Improper spacing, even if slight, will result in a reduction of the structure’s integrity.

Achieving proper rebar spacing is time-consuming. As any foreman knows, time is money. Fortunately, the injection molders at Retlaw Industries have produced a solution with our polyethylene rebar chairs. These rebar supports make it easy to achieve optimal reinforcement bar spacing for pouring concrete and paving.
