Unmatched durability and cost-efficiency
REBAR glass
Highest performance.
Like steel only better.
solidian REBAR glass is a non-corrosive, non-metallic reinforcement material used in concrete structures. Made from glass fibers our rebars offer excellent tensile strength, low weight and resistance to chemical and environmental degradation. They are ideal for use in harsh environments, such as critical infrastructure projects, including bridges, tunnels or marine structures.
solidian REBAR glass could help engineers to extend the lifespan of concrete structures significantly while reducing maintenance costs and promote sustainability through enhanced durability.
Product Features
solidian REBARs will not rust and with their comparable strength tosteel, they are bringing life to filigree, elegant structures lasting for generations.
Our reinforcing bars can be used in any structural or architectural application where required material should be corrosion resistant or lightweight. Steel rebar corrosion is a matter of time, whatever thickness or sizes of concrete protection you are using. Because of that steel reinforced concrete structures need to be repaired or teared down after a certain time. With our ECR-glass rebar this problem is solved and it has a number of additional special features that enable you to build a more sustainable concrete structure for our and our children’s future.

Solidian Kelteks - Reduced CO₂ emissions: The use of solidian GRID in construction can lead to significant reductions in CO₂ emissions due to decreased material usage and enhanced durability, which extends the lifespan of structures and reduces the need for repairs.
frequently asked questions
Yes, in cases where steel reinforcement has corroded, solidian GRID can serve as a substitute for structural reinforcement. The existing corroded steel can remain in place and be covered with a new layer of carbon-reinforced mortar, restoring structural integrity.
When combined with high-quality mortars, solidian GRID significantly enhances the overall durability of the system, providing a robust solution for demanding environments.
Yes, solidian GRID strikes a balance between stiffness and flexibility, allowing it to be applied to curved surfaces with diameters greater than 800mm.
The lightweight nature of solidian GRID facilitates easy transportation, even through sewage tunnels, and simplifies the installation process, reducing labor and equipment requirements.
Yes, a certified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is available for both solidian GRID and solidian REBAR. The EPD provides transparent and verified information about the environmental impact of these products throughout their life cycle, supporting sustainability assessments in construction projects.
Yes, solidian GRID has obtained the General Building Approval (abZ) from the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). This approval authorizes its use as carbon reinforcement grids in construction, ensuring compliance with national building standards.
solidian GRID is versatile and works with a range of binders, including Portland Cement, Calcium Aluminate Cements, and Geopolymer Cements.
solidian GRID holds German Approval as reinforcement for EN 206 concretes, supporting its compatibility with various mortar systems, including those adhering to DIN 19573.
Concrete layers reinforced with solidian GRID can be as thin as 20mm, as no additional concrete cover is needed to protect the reinforcement from corrosion.
Yes, solidian GRID can be applied as an additional layer over existing steel-reinforced concrete. When combined with solidian ANTICRACK, it offers enhanced crack-limiting properties, providing extra protection to the underlying steel reinforcement.
Classified under XWW4, solidian GRID ensures long-term performance for over 50 years, making it a durable choice for long-term infrastructure projects.
solidian GRID is fully resistant to severe acidic conditions, including environments with pH levels as low as 0. It has successfully passed tests in accordance with DIN 19573 standards for pH 0 and pH 1.
solidian GRID enables the design of thinner concrete layers (greater than 20mm) without requiring additional concrete cover for reinforcement protection. This reduction in material usage leads to lower resource consumption and a diminished environmental footprint, supporting more sustainable construction practices.
