Fiber dowels and fiberglass rebars are up to four times lighter than steel. That means less labour and satisfied personnel.
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.
We have tested the breakingpoint of the fiber dowels and the results came out higher than the traditional steel dowel.
The fiber dowel or fiberglass rebars does not lose strength at low temperatures. The iron dowel or coupling rod at high temperatures do differ.
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.
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.

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.
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 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.
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.
Very happy with the service and ease of use. The dowels are both sustainable and strong which makes them a perfect option for any future project.
I had never heard about fiber dowels but after receiving the sample I was convinced. It is a great choice for any concrete pavement project and the service is fast.
We have experienced no issues whatsoever and are happy to keep on using fiber glass products for our future projects.

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.
