Fiberglass reinforcement is currently one of the most advanced materials in construction worldwide. Its popularity is due to its many advantages over steel reinforcement. Concrete has a high compressive strength but a low tensile strength. To overcome this, reinforcement is used. Currently, steel is the most commonly used material.

Unfortunately, steel is susceptible to rust. Especially where there is insufficient coverage, moisture and salts, for example, have the opportunity to reach the steel, leading to corrosion. Inadequate coverage can be a cause, but also shortcomings in the construction or the failure to use the correct spacers, which cause the reinforcement to be too close to the outer edges, can lead to accelerated corrosion.

Glass fibre reinforcement cannot rust, is much lighter than steel and has a higher tensile strength.

These advantages alone have made the product popular among professional contractors. However, many specialists still work with traditional steel and are hesitant to replace steel reinforcement with fiberglass reinforcement. This concern and hesitation stem from a lack of, or insufficient, information about the benefits of fiberglass reinforcement.
