CoreMet Steel

Rebar Supplier UK & Global

CoreMet Steel is a leading rebar supplier across the UK and global markets, supplying high-quality reinforcing steel bars for construction and infrastructure projects. Our reinforcing bars are engineered to provide superior tensile strength, ductility, and long-term structural performance in reinforced concrete construction.

All CoreMet Steel rebar is manufactured in accordance with recognised UK and European standards, ensuring reliability, consistency, and full compliance for structural and civil engineering applications. We supply rebar nationwide across the UK and support global export projects.

What Is Rebar?

Rebar (short for reinforcing bar) is a high-strength steel bar embedded within concrete to improve tensile strength, control cracking, and enhance load-bearing capacity. While concrete performs well under compression, rebar compensates for its low tensile strength, making it essential for safe and durable reinforced concrete structures.

Reinforcing bars are commonly used in slabs, beams, columns, foundations, retaining walls, and large-scale infrastructure projects where structural integrity and long-term performance are critical.

Rebar Grades & Standards

CoreMet Steel supplies reinforcing bars manufactured in accordance with recognised UK and European standards.

Common reinforcement grades include:

• B500B reinforcing bar
• B500C reinforcing bar

Rebar is manufactured in accordance with BS 4449 standards and supplied with full mill certification and traceability.

Rebar FAQ

What is the difference between rebar and reinforcement mesh?2026-03-15T08:30:33+00:00

Rebar consists of individual reinforcing bars used in beams and columns, while reinforcement mesh is a welded steel grid used mainly in slabs and flat concrete structures.

What sizes do reinforcing bars come in?2026-03-15T08:13:20+00:00

Common rebar diameters range from 8 mm to 32 mm, typically supplied in 12 metre lengths.

What grade of rebar is used in the UK?2026-03-15T08:13:14+00:00

Most reinforcement bars used in the UK are B500B or B500C, manufactured according to BS 4449 standards.

What is rebar used for?2026-03-15T08:13:07+00:00

Rebar is used in reinforced concrete structures to improve tensile strength and prevent cracking in foundations, slabs, beams and columns.
