GFRP reinforcing bars

GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforcing bars are strong, lightweight alternatives to traditional steel rebar used in concrete construction. Made from a combination of glass fibers and a polymer resin, GFRP bars resist corrosion, making them ideal for structures exposed to harsh environments, like bridges and coastal buildings. They are non-magnetic and have a lower thermal conductivity, reducing thermal stresses in concrete. While they can be more expensive upfront than steel, their durability can lead to lower maintenance costs over time. GFRP bars help enhance the longevity and sustainability of concrete structures.
