REBARMAT GFRP rebars for Industrial Floor Reinforcement

REBARMAT® GFRP mesh Ø10 mm / 150×150 used for reinforcement of an industrial slab-on-grade floor cast over a membrane layer. The non-metallic mesh supports crack control and load distribution in large-area floor pours while eliminating corrosion risk in build-ups where moisture can accumulate above vapour barriers.

REBARMAT GFRP rebars for Slab-on-grade Parking Area Reinforcement

PRODUCT

REBARMAT® GFRP PRO rebars
– Non-metallic, corrosion-resistant glass-fiber reinforced polymer reinforcement

Dimensions

Bars
Bar diameter:  Ø10 mm
Mesh spacing: 150 × 150 mm
Format: Supplied in rolls according to specification

Location

Latvia
Commercial & Industrial Construction – Parking Slabs

Used for

– Warehouse and logistics floors
– Manufacturing halls and industrial buildings
– Heavy-duty slab-on-grade floors
– Areas with forklift and pallet truck traffic
– Floors with vapour barriers, membranes or insulation layers

Installation

– Sub-base prepared and compacted
– Membrane / vapour barrier placed (where specified)
– GFRP mesh positioned and supported with spacers/chairs to achieve designed cover
– Concrete poured and finished per industrial slab specification

Why GFRP instead of steel

No corrosion under membranes – Ideal where moisture can be trapped above vapour barriers or plastic sheeting.
Durability in aggressive environments – Suitable for humid industrial facilities and chemically exposed zones (project-specific verification).
Lightweight placement on large areas – Faster handling versus steel mesh on wide slab pours.
Non-magnetic and non-conductive – Compatible with industrial environments where sensors, scanners or equipment sensitivity matters.
Reduced lifecycle risk – Eliminates rust-driven expansion that can contribute to cracking and surface degradation over time.

Key advantages

– Easier logistics and handling on large slab pours
– No corrosion risk in moisture-affected floor build-ups
– Cleaner installation with fewer sharp edges
– Long-term durability with reduced maintenance exposure
– Reliable crack-control reinforcement for large areas
