Concrete Reinforcements

About Our Concrete Reinforcements Range

Proper reinforcement is essential for concrete structural integrity. At Burnt Oak Timber, the “Concrete Reinforcements” collection features concrete reinforcing mesh, steel rods, rods cut to size, and accessories required for reinforcing various concrete elements. The webpage lists Reinforcement Rods, Reinforcing Mesh, Concrete Accessories within the menu.

Our stock of concrete reinforcement bar and mesh is suitable for domestic, commercial or civil-engineering applications, offering durability and specification compliance.

Choosing the Right Concrete Reinforcing Solution

Selecting the correct reinforcement depends on the application. For slabs, ground-bearing floors or cast-in situ bases, a sheet of concrete reinforcing mesh will distribute loads and control crack movement. For beams, columns or heavy load zones, you may need individual concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) placed according to structural drawings.

If the project calls for robust structural reinforcement, concrete steel reinforcement with high tensile strength is vital. Our mesh range helps reduce labour and installation time by providing pre-fabricated sheet reinforcement. Alternatively, rods allow custom layouts and are ideal for bespoke builds or retrofit reinforcement.

Before choosing your material, check the design requirements for cover, grade, spacing and whether the reinforcement needs to be tied into connections. Burnt Oak Timber’s team can advise on grade, diameter and installation practices.

Application & Installation Considerations

• For ground-floor slabs: Lay reinforcement mesh on the correct blinding and ensure it is supported at the specified height within the concrete pour (commonly via stools or chairs) to function effectively.
• For beams and columns: Use concrete reinforcing bars per structural design — ensure correct cover, bar spacing and lap lengths.
• For retrofit or structural upgrade: You might combine mesh and rebar to suit the “heavy duty” requirement of concrete steel reinforcement.
• When using mesh: ensure overlaps meet manufacturer guidance (for example one full mesh width or as stated) and the mesh is free of debris before pouring concrete.
• Always check for correct concrete cover (distance from outer surface to reinforcement) and protect exposed reinforcement from corrosion or contamination.
• Proper installation ensures the reinforcement performs its role of managing load, preventing cracking and increasing structural life.
