INSIGHTS & UPDATES FROM REBARMAT

REBARMAT GFRP rebars for slab-on-grade Parking Reinforcement

REBARMAT® GFRP mesh for reinforcement of slab-on-grade parking areas cast directly on a compacted gravel base. The non-metallic reinforcement provides reliable crack control in ground-supported concrete slabs exposed to moisture, freeze–thaw cycles and de-icing salts.

REBARMAT® GFRP mesh enhances durability, reduces corrosion risk and supports extended service life in commercial and industrial parking environments.

– Supported with standard spacers
– Fully compatible with conventional slab-on-grade construction practices
– No special tools or coatings required

Why GFRP instead of steel

No corrosion from de-icing salts – Ideal for outdoor parking areas exposed to chlorides and moisture.
Freeze–thaw durability – Eliminates rust-driven cracking and spalling in cold climates.
Lightweight handling – Easier placement and positioning compared to steel mesh.
Reduced maintenance risk – No corrosion expansion means longer slab lifespan.
Non-magnetic and non-conductive – Suitable for environments with embedded sensors or infrastructure.

Key advantages

– Longer service life in outdoor conditions
– Reduced lifecycle maintenance costs
– Faster installation on large surface areas
– Improved crack control in exposed slabs
– Reliable solution for heavy-use parking environments
