Frequently Asked Questions About Bolsinger Rebar Inc
Does Bolsinger Rebar Inc offer delivery services?
Affirmative. Our team provides direct delivery of rebar fabrication materials to job sites using flatbed trailers. Customers are responsible for arranging the offloading of materials upon delivery.
How can different orders of rebar be identified on the job site?
Each rebar bundle is shipped with bar tags that provide comprehensive identification. These tags include information such as the number of pieces per bundle, order number, size, length, grade, and company name. For professional rebar fabrication services, please contact our team.
Can I use rebar with rust on it?
Generally, yes, but there are limitations. Surface rust on rebar is acceptable for fabrication installations. However, if the rust causes the bar to flake easily, reduces its weight, or diminishes the height of the deformations below ASTM standards, it's considered detrimental. In such cases, new rebar should be used.
Are there different types of rebar?
Indeed, rebar is available in various types. Standard options include black steel and epoxy coated rebar. For specialized applications, we offer stainless steel, fiberglass, and galvanized steel rebar. These specialty types are designed for environments requiring high corrosion resistance.
What grades of rebar do you carry?
Bolsinger Rebar Inc stocks grades 40, 60, and 100 rebar. Additional grades may be available upon request for specific rebar fabrication needs.
What is fabricated rebar?
Fabricated rebar refers to rebar that has been pre-cut or bent to meet specific project requirements. Our team at Bolsinger Rebar Inc has the capability to deliver fabricated rebar tailored to your unique job site specifications. We also provide on-site rebar fabrication services for added convenience.
Can I weld epoxy coated steel?
Welding epoxy coated steel is not recommended. The epoxy coating is applied to enhance corrosion resistance. Any cutting, grinding, or welding compromises this protective coating, leaving the bar vulnerable. For dependable rebar fabrication services, please consult our team.
What are the benefits of epoxy coated rebar?
Based on our experience, epoxy coated rebar offers 40 to 50 times more corrosion resistance compared to standard black steel rebar. This is due to its specialized corrosion-resistant coating. For more detailed information about epoxy coated rebar, please consult our rebar fabrication experts.
What are the benefits of stainless steel rebar?
Stainless steel rebar provides superior corrosion resistance due to its inherent chemical properties. Our experience indicates it's 800 to 1,500 times more corrosion resistant than standard black steel. However, this enhanced durability comes at a significantly higher cost. Consequently, stainless steel rebar is typically reserved for extremely corrosive environments such as marine or chemical settings. With the steel rebar market valued at approximately $235 million in 2023 (Market Research Future), understanding the cost implications of different rebar types is crucial when planning custom projects.
What are the benefits of fiberglass rebar?
Fiberglass rebar's primary advantage is its non-metallic composition, which makes it immune to corrosion unlike other rebar types. However, it's important to note that fiberglass rebar cannot be modified on-site. It must be ordered from the manufacturer in the exact configuration required for the project. Our rebar fabrication specialists can assist you in placing precise orders for your specific needs.
