Fiberglass reinforcement is currently one of the most cutting-edge materials in construction worldwide. Its popularity is explained by the fact that fiberglass reinforcement offers many advantages compared to steel reinforcement. Concrete has high compressive strength but low tensile strength. To overcome this, reinforcement is used. So far, steel has been the most commonly used material for this purpose.

Unfortunately, steel is prone to rust. Especially in areas where there is insufficient cover, moisture, as well as salts, have the opportunity to reach the steel, leading to corrosion. But not only inadequate cover can be a cause, but also shortcomings in execution or not using the correct spacers, causing the reinforcement to come too close to the edges, which can result in accelerated corrosion of the reinforcement.

Fiberglass reinforcement cannot rust, is much lighter than steel, and has higher tensile strength.

Just these advantages alone have led to the popularity of the product among professional contractors. However, there are still many specialists who continue to work with traditional steel and hesitate to replace steel reinforcement with fiberglass reinforcement. This concern and doubt are caused by a lack of or insufficient information about the benefits of fiberglass reinforcement.
