El Paso’s Dependable Supplier of Rebar & Reinforcing Steel
Reinforcing steel, also known as rebar, is steel that is hot rolled and used in the construction industry for concrete reinforcement.
Its use dates back to the 15th century in Paris where the Château de Vincennes was built. It is one of the first known castles to have used rebar. Today, rebar is widely used for a variety of reinforcement construction needs.
How is Rebar Primarily Used?
Rebar is made of durable, unfinished steel that is ideal for all types of construction projects given that it is straightforward and easy to use. The most common use for rebar in construction is to prevent concrete from cracking over time.
The Benefits of Using Rebar in Construction
- Rebar absorbs the tension stress, preventing concrete from breaking or cracking
- It reduces the thickness of the concrete surfaces such as driveways
- While providing strength to the concrete, the affordable material also guarantees that the building will last longer.
