What Is MST-BAR?
MST-BAR is a composite reinforcing product manufactured from high-strength materials designed to replace conventional steel rebar in certain applications. Unlike steel, MST-BAR is lightweight, non-corrosive, and easy to cut and handle on site.
MST-BAR is commonly used in ICF walls where ease of installation, consistent spacing, and reduced labour are priorities. Final use and spacing should always follow engineering specifications and project requirements.
Benefits of Using MST-BAR in ICF Construction
MST-BAR offers several advantages for ICF projects in Saskatchewan:
-
Lightweight material reduces handling fatigue and improves jobsite efficiency
-
Non-corrosive construction helps protect long-term concrete performance
-
Easy to cut and place without specialized tools
-
Reduced material congestion compared to traditional steel rebar
These benefits make MST-BAR especially appealing for residential and light commercial ICF builds.
MST-BAR and SuperForm ICF Compatibility
MST-BAR is well suited for use with SuperForm ICF systems. The consistent web spacing and clear cut lines in SuperForm blocks allow MST-BAR to be installed accurately and efficiently.
When used together, SuperForm ICF and MST-BAR help streamline wall assembly, reinforcing placement, and pre-pour preparation. Alliance ICF can assist with layout considerations to ensure MST-BAR is installed according to project specifications.
Installation and Handling Advantages
One of the key advantages of MST-BAR is ease of installation. Because it is lightweight and flexible compared to steel rebar, installers can move, cut, and place reinforcing quickly without heavy lifting or specialized cutting equipment.
MST-BAR can be installed efficiently in vertical and horizontal applications within ICF walls. This helps reduce labour time and speeds up wall preparation before concrete placement.
Structural and Design Considerations
MST-BAR must always be used in accordance with engineering specifications. Reinforcing schedules, spacing, and application will vary depending on wall height, loads, and project design.
Alliance ICF works closely with builders and engineers to ensure MST-BAR is used appropriately within ICF systems. Our team can help review drawings, answer technical questions, and confirm compatibility with SuperForm ICF construction.
