Our rebar conforms to AS/NZS 4671 standards, giving you the confidence that your materials meet strict compliance and performance requirements for New Zealand and Australian construction codes.

Grade 500E vs Grade 300E Reinfocing Bar

Grade 500E reinforcing bar offers higher tensile strength, making it ideal for seismic and structural applications. Grade 300E reinforcing bar is perfect for residential and light commercial builds, offering consistent performance and easy handling on site. When bars need to be re-bent on site (for example starter bars inside precast panels), engineers often prefer Grade 300E bar due to the fact that it's more ductile (less brittle).
