Use alone or connect together to make multiple lengths of continuous bar support for your project. This beam bolster supports lower beam steel in slabs, keeps rebar at the correct elevation and structural integrity. The evenly spaced legs of the bolster keep rebar in place during the pour. Easy to install, non-corrosive and now with a new support bed that holds rebar in place better than ever!

Use to get concrete cover by connecting the slab bolsters together to get your desired length. Then place the support on the form or surface so the rebar can rest on the surface of the support.

• Heights from 3/4” to 3”

• 2.5’, 5’ and 10’ lengths

• New support bed holds rebar in place

• Non-corrosive material

• Fast and secure connections

Product Overview

A slab bolster is a must have in construction, it provides support and concrete reinforcement to concrete slabs. These continuous metal bar supports are needed to keep rebar in place in reinforced concrete, allowing one layer of steel to be positioned above another, ensuring proper spacing and alignment of the reinforcing bars. In commercial concrete projects, reinforcing steel is crucial for structural elements such as elevated concrete decks, footings and bridge decks, providing stability and strength. Available in various heights and materials, bright basic, galvanized, plastic protected, and stainless steel protected slab bolsters fit your project needs. Whether you’re building a large commercial building or a small residential patio, slab bolsters are key to a solid and stable structure.

What is a Slab Bolster?

A slab bolster is a concrete accessory that supports and reinforces concrete slabs to keep them stable and crack free. It’s a horizontal beam or platform that’s placed to provide continuous support to the concrete slab. By keeping the rebar and reinforcing steel in the correct position and spacing, slab bolsters are key to keeping the structural integrity of the concrete slab. Whether you’re building a small residential or a large commercial project, slab bolsters are a must have for a solid and strong structure.

Why Slab Bolsters are Important in Concrete Construction

Slab bolsters are crucial in concrete slab construction, it provides uniform support to prevent cracking and maintain the structural integrity of the structure. By keeping rebar and reinforcing steel in the correct spacing and alignment, slab bolsters distribute the load evenly across the concrete slab, reducing structural weaknesses and providing stability and strength. This even distribution is key to the longevity and durability of the concrete. Also slab bolsters prevents rebar corrosion which can weaken the concrete over time. By using slab bolsters you can improve the overall quality and life of your construction projects.

Concrete Accessories

Concrete accessories are the building blocks of concrete structures. Here are some of the common concrete accessories:

• Slab Bolsters: Used to support lower slab bolster steel from the slab, to keep rebar in position.

• Rebar: Reinforcing bars, or rebar, adds strength and stability to concrete structures, prevents cracking and structural failure. Rebar is also known as reinforcing steel and is critical in supporting materials for commercial concrete projects like elevated concrete decks, footings and bridge decks.

• Beam Bolsters: Same as slab bolsters, beam bolsters supports lower beam steel from the slab bolster, adds extra reinforcement.

• Concrete Bolsters: Used to support and reinforce slab bolster, maintain its structural integrity.

• Plastic Protected Slab Bolsters: Extra protection against corrosion, extends the life of the structure.

Each of these accessories has its own role in concrete construction, working together to create strong and durable structures.

Technical Specifications

Compatible with various steel reinforcement types, rebar and wire mesh, these bolsters are versatile and reliable for any concrete application.

Uses and Applications of Slab Bolsters

Slab bolsters are used in many concrete construction situations. They are necessary to support steel reinforcement in concrete slabs, to keep rebar in position and uniform spacing. In elevated concrete decks like multi-story buildings or parking structures, slab bolsters provides the support to maintain structural integrity. They are also critical in supporting lower slab steel, to create a solid base for concrete construction. In bridge decks, slab bolsters provides uniform support and stability, which is vital for safety and life of the structure. Overall slab bolsters is a must have in any concrete construction project, provides the support and reinforcement to ensure strong and reliable structure.

Epoxy Coated Slab Bolster Advantages

Using a slab bolster in concrete construction has:

• Uniform Support: Slab bolsters provides consistent support to the concrete slab, prevents cracking and maintain structural integrity of the structure.

• Better Load Distribution: By keeping rebar in position and alignment, slab bolsters distribute the load evenly, reduces structural weaknesses.

• Corrosion Protection: Slab bolsters prevents rebar corrosion, extends the life of the structure.

• Increased Durability: Slab bolsters when used with rebar, increases the durability of the structure by reducing cracking and structural weaknesses.

• Easy to Install: Continuous design makes rebar placement easy and fast.

Dayton Aztec EZ Lok Advantages

The Dayton Aztec EZ Lok design has several advantages that makes it the preferred choice in concrete construction. Easy to install reduces labor cost and construction time, makes it cost effective. Provides even support and uniform spacing for steel reinforcement, maintain the required distance between steel reinforcement layers which is critical for concrete consistency and life. Designed to support steel reinforcement in various applications including elevated concrete decks and bridge decks, the Dayton Aztec EZ Lok slab bolster makes installation easy, reduces the risk of errors and delays. Plain and simple design makes it efficient and reliable for any concrete construction project.

Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation and maintenance of slab bolsters is the key to its optimal performance and life. Here are some tips to get the most out of your slab bolsters:

• Installation: Before installation, make sure the slab form is properly prepared. Place the slab bolsters on the slab form, keep rebar in position and supported. This will maintain the structural integrity of the concrete slab.

• Maintenance: Regular inspection is necessary to ensure slab bolsters is in good condition and functioning well. Check for any damage or corrosion and replace any compromised bolsters to maintain continuous support and stability.

Follow these installation and maintenance tips and your slab bolsters will provide support and reinforcement for your construction projects.
