1 Rebar Chairs: 1 Inch Concrete Support (PP60), #3 to #4 (2500/Cs)
Rebar chairs are essential components in concrete construction, designed to secure and hold rebar in place during the pouring process. They provide added stability and support to the structure, ensuring proper flow and consolidation. Rebar chairs come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, including plastic and metal, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this section, we will explore the importance of rebar chairs, their benefits, and how they enhance the overall strength and durability of the concrete structure.
Rebar Chairs
Rebar chairs are the backbone of concrete construction, they hold the supports in place during the pouring of concrete. Rebar chairs enhance the overall support and stability of the structure by keeping the rebar in place during the pouring process. They provide added stability and support to the structure, so concrete can flow and consolidate properly. Rebar chairs come in different shapes, sizes and materials, plastic and metal, each with its own pros and cons. When choosing a rebar chair you must consider the project requirements, type of project, rebar size and level of support needed. Rebar chairs are a must have in the construction industry, they give overall strength and durability to the structure.
Rebar Chairs
Rebar chairs are a part of construction, they hold rebar (reinforcing steel bars) in place as the concrete is poured. These supports keep rebar from moving or sinking during the process of pouring concrete, so it can flow and consolidate properly, which in turn gives the structure overall strength and durability. It is standard practice to leave rebar chairs to provide necessary support during the curing process and ensure long-term stability. Whether you’re building high rise buildings, infrastructure or tilt-wall construction rebar chairs are essential to your project. Rebar chairs enhance the support and stability of structures, so rebar remains in the correct position during the pouring process. By keeping rebar from shifting or sinking they help achieve a uniform and solid structure, that’s why they’re a must have in the construction industry.
Paragon Rebar Support Chairs give you rebar coverage stability. In the construction world rebar coverage stability is key. These supports are also great for straddling applications, supporting multiple layers of rebar mats on complex projects. With Paragon’s Concrete Support Rebar Chairs (PP60) you can rest assured your rebar is well supported and in the right place. These supports provide more stability to the rebar, so it remains in place during the pouring process.
Features & Benefits
-
Adjustable Height: PP60 supports have adjustable height, for versatile applications on any project. Whether you need to fit different slab thicknesses or rebar sizes these supports have you covered.
-
Heavy Duty: Built with a strong frame our supports keep the rebar in place during construction. This gives the structure more strength and durability and reduces the risk of structural failure. Our heavy duty rebar chair provides exceptional support and reinforcement for rebar during concrete pouring, ensuring stability and durability.
-
Tower Chair: Tower chair is for heavy duty applications, especially for double mat rebar or wire mesh.
-
Corrosion Resistant: Made from materials that resist corrosion, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
-
Wider Base: Designed with a wider base for enhanced stability and support during pouring.
Materials We Use
Paragon Rebar Supports for concrete pours are made of high quality materials, not only durable but eco friendly. We prioritize sustainability, using materials that will last your project and the planet. Our plastic rebar chairs are extremely versatile, accommodating various rebar sizes and elevating rebar at different heights to enhance functionality and usability.
Pouring and Support
Concrete pouring and support are critical aspects of construction projects. Rebar chairs play a vital role in this process by providing a stable and secure base for the rebar, allowing for proper concrete flow and consolidation. The supports are designed to elevate the rebar to the desired height, ensuring that the concrete can flow freely and evenly. This results in a stronger and more durable concrete structure. Rebar chairs are also used to support rebar in double mat applications, where they do not straddle the bottom rebar mat, ensuring that the rebar is held firmly in place.
Applications
Heavy-duty applications require supports that can withstand extreme weights and stresses. Heavy duty supports are designed to provide extra support and stability in these situations. They are constructed from industrial-grade polypropylene, making them corrosion-resistant and able to withstand the rigors of construction. These supports are ideal for use in tilt-wall construction, where the rebar is subjected to heavy loads and stresses. The extra thick plastic and snap-and-lock design of these ensure that they can hold securely in place, even in the most demanding applications.
Practical Applications
Construction professionals have seen the benefits of using Paragon Rebar Support Chairs in real world projects from high rise buildings to infrastructure developments. Our chairs have proven themselves by speeding up rebar placement and increasing structural integrity. They are also suitable for applications where the supports is placed directly on a sand plate, for on grade applications. These provide excellent ground clearance, so rebar can be placed properly during pouring.
Our rebar chairs are trusted by contractors across the country, proving their reliability and effectiveness in various construction projects.
Safety Precautions
When using rebar chairs, safety should always be the top priority to avoid injuries and ensure a safe working environment. Some safety precautions to consider are wearing protective gear, gloves and safety glasses and clearing the work area of debris and tripping hazards. Also follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and use. Rebar chairs are heavy and can cause injury if not handled properly so handle with care. Also ensure they are securely supported and won’t topple over during construction.
Storage and Handling
Proper storage and handling of rebar chairs is important to maintain their quality and to keep them in good condition. Rebar chairs should be stored in a dry, clean area away from direct sunlight and moisture. Handle with care to avoid scratches and damage to the material. When transporting rebar chairs, secure them to prevent movement and damage. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for storage and handling to keep the rebar chairs in good condition and functional.
Reviews
Rebar chairs have been used in many construction projects and customers are satisfied with their performance. Many customers have praised the ease of installation, durability and versatility of rebar chairs. For example one customer said that it saved them time and money on their concrete pour and code compliance. Another customer praised the strength and stability of the rebar chairs saying they withstood heavy foot traffic during concrete placement. Overall they have proven to be a valuable tool in the construction industry providing added stability and support to structures.
FAQs
Q: What is a chair for? A support is to support and hold rebar in place during concrete construction for proper concrete flow and consolidation. This increases the strength and durability of the concrete structure.
Q: How many rebar chairs are needed? The number of rebar chairs needed depends on the project specifics. As a rule of thumb, place the supports 2 to 3 feet apart along the length of the rebar to ensure stability. This spacing helps determine how many rebars are required for the project.
Q: Can they be used in double mat applications? Yes, they can be used in double mat applications but make sure to choose that does not straddle the bottom rebar mat. This way both layers of rebar are supported.
Q: What’s the difference between plastic and metal type? Plastic are easy to install and economical, suitable for most projects. Metal are stronger and for heavy duty applications where extra support is needed.
Q: Do they stay ? Yes, they are left to support the rebar and increase the strength and durability of the structure. They become part to ensure long term stability. Yes, it is standard practice to leave them inside to support the rebar during the curing process. Rebar chairs are intentionally left inside to ensure the rebar remains in the correct position.
