😲 #3 PINKBAR® replaces #4 steel rebar in residential applications per ICC-EER 4593

🤯 PINKBAR® no longer requires engineer approval per ICC-EER 4593 for residential applications

FIBERGLAS™ REBAR

HOW WE BUILD:

STRONGER. FASTER.

MORE DURABLE.

Leave the rust and weight of traditional steel behind for a lighter weight, stronger, rustproof concrete reinforcement.

Designed with DOTs (Department of Transportation), engineers and contractors in mind, Fiberglas™ Rebar by Owens Corning Infrastructure Solutions is setting a new bar in concrete reinforcement.

This is HOW WE BUILD NOW™
