Have you ever wondered how construction projects achieve such precision and stability? The answer often lies in the small yet crucial components, such as plastic spacers. These innovative products play a pivotal role in maintaining the structural integrity of concrete constructions.
Every project needs quality material and, at Danterr, we acknowledge the need to use the best material for your projects. Through this guide, we will focus on the kinds of plastic spacers, the importance of these spacers, and how their inclusion in your construction projects can be highly beneficial to you in the long run.
What Are Plastic Spacers?
Plastic spacers are essential in concrete construction to ensure that reinforcing bars (rebar) remain in the correct position before and after pouring concrete. They protect the rebar from harsh conditions that could result in corrosion and structural compromise.
Industrial use of plastic spacers is widely evident for their competency, precision and easy installation in holding the rebar which is responsible for supporting the concrete constructions.
