What’s the deal with reinforcing steel?
Steel mesh, wire, or bars are tension devices used in reinforced concrete, also known as reinforcement steel (rebar). These types of steel are usually ribbed or contoured to form a strong bond with concrete. Did you know… Steel wasn’t originally used to strengthen concrete? It wasn’t until the 15th century that Rebar was invented.

TYPES OF REO
Concrete has been a crucial component of building and construction for centuries, and reinforcement steel plays a crucial role in that process. Steel reinforcement comes in two main forms: mesh and bar.
Steel mesh plays a crucial role in concrete reinforcing. This material is used in a wide variety of applications, such as driveway paving, patio and house slabbing, building reinforcement, and fencing in rural areas. Steel mesh is available in 3 types; Square, Rectangular and Trench.
Additionally, concrete is reinforced with steel bars, which are long, thin, and ribbed. There are a few common types, including: Plain Round Bar, Deformed Bar, Starter Bars and corner bars.
