Uses

PostPrime PlasticTM  Bar Chairs are routinely used for supporting reinforcing bar / mesh when placing concrete. Additionally bar chairs help to ensure the correct concrete cover is provided per design specifications.

 

Reinforcing mesh is most effective in the top half of a slab, where it is used to increase its flexural strength and reduce the chance of shrinkage, heaving or settling cracking. To achieve this, bar chairs are utilised to suspend the mesh / reinforcing bar.

 

Typically, bar chairs which will allow 40-50mm of cover to the top of the finished pour height are selected. Using tie wire as part of the reinforcement placement process these chairs are tied to the layer of reinforcement to fix it and remove the chance of movement during the concrete pour.
