Extruded fibre-reinforced concrete spacers

FRANK’s range of extruded fibre-reinforced concrete spacers ensures that the specified concrete cover to the reinforcement for structures and structural elements is achieved, both before and during concreting. These spacers help to guarantee the durability of all structures.

Spacers made of fibre concrete have an optimum material compatibility with in-situ concrete. FRANK spacers are produced in two main grades (Standard and Premium) with strength and durability properties to match most site and precast concrete applications. The outstanding material properties of fibre-reinforced concrete include:

• High compressive strength, accurate dimensional tolerances, no deformation with temperature fluctuations, excellent physical and chemical resistance
• Excellent bond with concrete, no hairline cracks between the spacer and concrete, suitable for impermeable concrete
• Fire resistant to the highest requirements specified in EN13501-1:2002 - Class 1A
• The performance of FRANK spacers meets the requirements of BS 7973 (British Standard for Spacers) and of the Concrete Best Practice Guide produced by the European Concrete Societies Network.
  

FRANK’s wide range of  single spacers and bar spacers offers the ideal spacer for any application. We manufacture extruded fibre-reinforced concrete special spacers with special dimensions and shapes upon request. From support profiles for internal formwork in bridge building to finely detailed spacers, we can offer numerous technically ideal solutions. Extruded fibre concrete spacers can be used for all precast and cast in-situ applications including buildings and infrastructure projects.

Spacers are used e.g. for precasting plants, for drinking water reservoirs, for tunnel constructions or for exposed concrete surfaces.
