This product category encompasses thin, pliable metal strands used to secure reinforcing bars, commonly known as rebar, together in concrete construction projects. These wires facilitate the creation of a stable framework before concrete is poured. An example of its application includes binding intersecting rebar at the joints of a concrete slab’s grid pattern, holding the steel reinforcement in place during the pouring process.
The use of these metallic fasteners is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of reinforced concrete. Properly securing rebar prevents displacement during concrete pouring and curing, contributing to the longevity and strength of the finished structure. Historically, manual twisting methods were employed; however, modern tools and pre-formed tie wire options significantly increase efficiency and reduce labor costs.
