Brand: Paragon

Product Description

Paragon Tilt-Up Chairs are essential accessories designed to support reinforcement bars (rebar) in tilt-up concrete panels. Their primary function is to accurately position and secure the rebar grid at the required height (4 to 4-1/4 inches) before concrete is poured. The unique design allows the chairs to straddle the lower mat of reinforcement, making them ideal for double-mat rebar applications common in tilt-up construction.

When constructing tilt-up panels, maintaining the correct concrete cover over the reinforcement is critical for the panel's structural integrity, fire resistance, and long-term durability. Paragon Tilt-Up Rebar Chairs ensure this precision and stability, preventing the rebar cage from sagging or shifting during the concrete pour. This guarantees your panels are built to specification and maintain their strength.

Key Features and Specifications

• Straddle Design: The wide base and open-frame design allow the chair to be placed over lower rebar mats, providing stable support for the upper mat without interfering with the existing grid.
• Optimal Concrete Cover: Specifically engineered to provide a 4" to 4-1/4" cover, ensuring the rebar is perfectly positioned within the panel.
• High Load Capacity: The robust structure is designed to withstand the weight of heavy rebar and the pressures of workers and equipment during pre-pour activities.
• Minimal Surface Contact: The "small footprint" design minimizes contact with the casting surface, preventing visible blemishes on the finished panel face.
• Durable, Non-Corrosive Material: Manufactured from high-strength, non-corrosive plastic, these chairs will not rust or react with the concrete, preventing spalling and stains over the life of the panel.
• Case Quantity: Sold in cases of 120 units for efficient project planning and inventory management.

Application and Use

These rebar chairs are specifically intended for tilt-up panel construction. They are placed at regular intervals across the casting slab to form a stable grid for the rebar. Their versatility allows them to accommodate various rebar sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of projects, from large-scale commercial warehouses and distribution centers to smaller architectural developments.

User Benefits

• Enhanced Structural Integrity: By guaranteeing proper rebar placement, the chairs ensure the finished panel meets engineering and structural requirements.
• Improved Efficiency: The simple, drop-in-place design speeds up the rebar installation process, saving valuable time and labor costs on site.
• Reduced Risk: Provides a stable and secure foundation for reinforcing bars, minimizing the risk of construction errors and ensuring a safer work environment.
• Cost-Effective: By preventing costly rework and ensuring the longevity of the structure, these chairs offer excellent value and help keep project budgets on track.
• Aesthetic Finish: The minimal-contact design helps produce a clean, smooth, and professional-looking concrete surface.

Paragon Tilt-Up Rebar Chairs represent quality, precision, and reliability in modern construction. For a successful and efficient tilt-up project, incorporate these essential components to ensure your panels are built right from the ground up.
