Steel Reinforcement Bars

Rebar is the name given to steel reinforcement bars, or steel reinforcing rods. These are commonly used throughout the building industry to strengthen concrete and, as such, have many applications in the construction sector. Here at NextDaySteel, we supply high-quality steel reinforcement products, suitable for a wide range of construction projects. Produced to meet the highest industry standards, they are reliable, durable, and robust.

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:
