Concrete Spacer Types: Fiber, Plastic and Heavy-Duty

Concrete Spacer Types: Fiber, Plastic and Heavy-Duty

Concrete spacer types vary by material, geometry, contact area and intended application. A spacer suited to a slab may not be the best fit for a wall, column or bored-pile cage.

Fiber-Reinforced Spacers

Fiber-reinforced spacers are available in different shapes, including multi-size, profile and bar forms.

Plastic Spacers

Plastic spacers can be produced in clip, ring, slab and wall-oriented geometries depending on reinforcement layout.

Profile and Bar Spacers

Profile and bar spacers create line support beneath reinforcement. Geometry and contact area influence where they are most suitable.

Heavy-Duty Spacers

Where reinforcement loads are higher, spacer stability under compression and its contact geometry become more important.

For application-based selection, see Concrete Spacers for Columns, Walls, Slabs and Foundations.
