The correct (predicted by the project) position of reinforcement in reinforced concrete elements and structures is of crucial importance for the permanent and safe performance of the role intended for the concrete element.
If the position of the placed reinforcement in the concrete structure does not correspond to the project according to which that position was determined, it cannot be counted on that the concrete element will have the designed characteristics, but they will always, to a greater or lesser extent, be reduced.
Decades of experience of the construction industry in working with concrete have led to absolutely confirmed facts about the causes responsible for premature aging of concrete. Damage to the protective layer is named as the most common culprit, as a result of which the reinforcement in the concrete is oxidized and the designed necessary characteristics of strength and bending are lost.
The most effective way for the protective layer to maintain its projected dimension is to install spacers. With their help, even in the conditions of the construction site, there will be no small inaccuracies that in the future endanger the entire concrete construction.
Spacers for concrete are thus a necessary integral part when performing all reinforcement works, both in industrial and individual construction.
