Spacer is a tool that is produced in different shapes and sizes and plays a key role in creating a suitable rebar cover. They are used in situations that are able to cover rebar in structures such as slabs and walls.
Other uses of concrete spacers are buildings and projects such as dams and tunnels. Sometimes the existence of concrete spacers helps maintain the distance between two rebars, on the other hand, spacers are used to create a distance between the concrete mold and mortar. They are produced in models, each of which is used in specific conditions.
The use of standard plastic spacers by providing the possibility of creating a sufficient and appropriate concrete cover from the access of corrosive agents to the surface of the moment rebar and created the necessary conditions to achieve a strong structure.
As a summary, the main task of spacers is to create a proper distance between the ground or concrete forms with rebar and reinforcement, as well as to maintain the shape and structure of the reinforcement during the concreting operation.
Plastic spacers, concrete spacers, metal spacers
Over time, due to close contact with chemical substances and environmental conditions such as weather and substances such as sulfates, rebars will undergo corrosion, which will be destructive and harmful. But with the use of a spacer, a cover is created on the Miglard that protects it from the weather.
In the construction of reinforced concrete, spacers are used to increase work efficiency, spacers are very useful tools that prevent the movement of the reinforcement network in concrete, and in other words, keep it stable.
Among the spacers by application, in this article two general groups of vertical and horizontal spacers are mentioned and the most widely used ones are also presented.
This spacer is considered one of the best options available for use on vertical surfaces such as walls, columns, in-situ concrete, precast concrete, etc.
Cagefix spacers are used in vertical heavy weight systems, marine structures, pi bridges, etc.

This type of spacer is used on medium-weight vertical surfaces such as walls, columns, and precast concrete.
Hard Fix Spacer
Max fix spacer
Minifix spacer (minifix)
Side fix spacer
U fix spacer
Double Fix Spacer (Double Fix)
The most common use of these spacers is in light ceilings and composite slabs and woven flooring with light bars.
Suggested: Construction steps of concrete building using spacers
Medium plastic spacer (max and maxi spacer)
Double mesh plastic spacer (double spacer)
On average, there are 4 light spacers per square meter of the area of the reinforcement network. According to the conditions, it can be increased up to 8.
The price is right
Good strength to bear point load up to 30 weight
Applications of light spacer:
Light structures
Composite roof
Prefabricated concrete parts
The type of spacer should match the type of project and environmental conditions.
The size of the spacer must match the diameter of the bars.
The size of the spacer should be the size that creates the required distance between the screws.
