Bent Basalt Rebar

Bent basalt rebar offers engineers, contractors and precast manufacturers a durable, corrosion-proof reinforcement solution for projects that require precise shapes and long-term performance. Designed for areas where straight rebar can’t provide ideal support, our pre-bent basalt reinforcement ensures consistency, strength and ease of installation, without the rust, weight or conductivity issues associated with steel. 

Whether you’re reinforcing corners, beams, footings, foundations, slab-on-grade structures or architectural forms, our bent basalt rebar delivers the geometry and reliability needed for high-performance concrete applications.

Our Pre-Bent Basalt Rebar Products

We manufacture and supply a complete range of pre-bent rebar shapes to meet structural, architectural and geotechnical design requirements. Each bend is engineered for accuracy, dimensional stability and full compatibility with conventional concrete placement. 

Some of the most common bent basalt rebar shapes include: 

  • L-shapes: Commonly used for corner reinforcement and transitions.
  • Closed loops: Used in high-load or specialty structural applications.
  • Stirrups and ties: Perfect for columns, beams, joists and seismic reinforcement.
  • Custom bends: Any unique shape manufactured to your exact specifications.
  • U-shapes: Ideal for footings, foundations, edge support and structural tie-downs.
  • Bent rebar stakes: Lightweight, rust-proof stakes for grading, site layout and landscaping.

All bent components are produced using our premium basalt fiber rebar, ensuring exceptional strength and performance even in aggressive environments such as coastal regions, chemical plants and water-exposed structures.

Technical Specifications and Bending Capabilities

Basalt Engineering utilizes precision manufacturing processes to ensure uniform fiber alignment and high-quality bends, all while maintaining structural integrity. 

Bending Capabilities

  • Custom bend angles: 0° to 360°.
  • Available diameters: #2 through #8 equivalent sizes.
  • Dimensional tolerance: Engineered to meet or exceed industry standards.
  • Corrosion-proof: No rusting, even in saltwater or high-moisture conditions.
  • Minimum bend radius: Determined based on diameter and engineering requirements. 
  • Nonconductive and nonmagnetic: Ideal for airports, hospitals, laboratories and energy facilities.

Performance Characteristics

  • Superior bonding with concrete.
  • 3 times stronger than steel by weight.
  • Zero corrosion, scaling or deterioration over time.
  • Excellent fatigue resistance for long-term structural reliability.
  • Thermal stability — minimal expansion under temperature changes.
  • ¼ the weight of steel, reducing labor, transportation and handling costs.

These capabilities make bending basalt rebar an efficient and precise solution for projects where traditional steel bending can be time-consuming, inconsistent or prone to cracking at the bend. 

Basalt vs. Steel Bent Rebar

When choosing reinforcement for complex concrete geometries, the selection between steel and basalt impacts long-term durability, installation efficiency and structural performance. Here are some of the advantages of bent basalt rebar over steel.

When Bent Basalt Rebar Is Ideal

Bent basalt rebar is ideal for:

  • Marine structures and coastal foundations.
  • Precast concrete shapes with complex geometries.
  • Slab-on-grade designs needing rust-free reinforcement.
  • Foundations and footings requiring corrosion-proof rebar.
  • Architectural curves, contours and unconventional forms.
  • Ground floor slab reinforcement where moisture exposure is expected.

The combination of light weight, durability and ease of shaping makes basalt the superior choice for modern construction and precision reinforcement.
