Advantages of fiber dowels
4 times lighter than steel
Fiber dowels and fiberglass rebars are up to four times lighter than steel. That means less labour and satisfied personnel.
Environment friendly
The production of fiber dowels and fiber glass rebars produces less CO2 in comparison to the iron version. This has a positive effect on the environment.
Higher breakingpoint
We have tested the breakingpoint of the fiber dowels and the results came out higher than the traditional steel dowel.
No loss of strength
The fiber dowel or fiberglass rebars does not lose strength at low temperatures. The iron dowel or coupling rod at high temperatures do differ.
No corrosion possible
Steel reacts with water, causing it to rust. On the other hand, fiberglass is not susceptible to corrosion, which results in a longer service life.
High tensile strength
The tensile strength of the glass fiberdowel is higher compared to iron: glass fiber dowel: 600 - 1600 n/mm2 compared to steel dowel: 200-550 n/mm2.

Our products
Fiber dowels
Dowels are the most common form of load transfer in concrete pavements. They come in various sizes, shapes, and materials, but to perform optimally over the course of the pavement life, they need to be oriented appropriately and within tolerable location limits in the slab.
Fiberglass rebars
Rebars are made of epoxy in comparison with fiberglass. Rebars (short for reinforcing bar), is a fiber glass bar with fiber glass wires on top of it. Concrete is a material that is very strong in compression, but relatively weak in tension. To compensate for this imbalance in concrete's behavior, rebar is cast into it to carry the tensile loads.
Fiber dowel baskets
Fiber dowels baskets are made of recycled plastic and fiber glass. Pavement specifications typically include placement tolerances. These tolerances call for dowels to be placed reasonably close to parallel with the pavement centerline and the pavement surface.
What our customers think
We made the switch from using steel dowels to fiber glass and have not experienced any issues. They are easy to install, more affordable and we have seen great results so far.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our team has been in the business for over 60 years. Our own experiences are incorporated in our products which are: fiber dowels, fiber dowel baskets, fiberglass rebars and fiber dowels T-form.
The production of fiber dowels and fiber glass rebars produces less CO2 in comparison to the iron version. This has a positive effect on the environment.
Yes, the material does not conduct radio waves, making the fiber dowels easier to use in sensitive environments.
The thermal conductivity of the composite is 100 times lower than steel.
If you would like to experience the quality of our products before placing an order, you can request a sample on our website. Simply fill out the contact form and let us know that you would like to receive a sample.
Glass fiber is also more lightweight, allowing for easier transportation, installation, and handling. Additionally, glass fiber is more resistant to corrosion and weathering compared to steel, making it a more reliable option for projects in harsh or wet environments. The cost savings associated with the installation, maintenance, and potential repair of glass fiber dowels make them a more cost–efficient choice for many projects.
