Well, that eliminates the major problem with re-enforced concrete structures but still retaines the reason for re-enforcing. Awesome.

Thanks for showing this, never knew it existed. And thanks for promoting a Canadian company !

So glad you took us on the technical retreat. Awesome production and presentation. Thank you Matt and Man Behind the Scene....

What a cool and informative product introduction and review!! Great job to you both!! ❤❤

This was a very informative video. Great job Matt and MBTS. I am looking forward to seeing MST BAR in your ICF addition.

Interesting stuff. New and innovative. I can imagine their growth potential will be astronomical.

They started using it near me 2 years ago. When steel rebar went skyhigh. IT was cheaper and stronger. You could use a smaller bar and get better strength.

Wow..! Lots of information packed into this 🎉video. Just starting to see fiberglass rebar being used in residential housing. Curious as to cost difference steel/fiberglass. Excellent conveyance (by the MST rep., and Matt),of the particulars in this MST product. Thank you sir. Oh, and good camera work by MBTS (Aaron).

🤯 That blew my mind. New technology that is not thermal transferable 🤯 cold to hot. Surveyors of old used to pull chain making note of the measurements and the temperature because of the thermal expansion and contraction of each link. The thermal expansion and contraction of different materials is the key to shear cracking of concrete and the starting of its degradation. Thanks Matt & that man behind the curtain.... DON'T pay attention to the man behind the scenes .... "these are not the Droids you're looking for👋 !" 😉👍

Super informative Matt! Best wishes on upcoming addition to your "Castle."

great video, super informative, sheds light on difference between steel and fiberglass rebar , very interesting 👍👍

This is what I really like about your videos Matt, they're interesting and informative.

Very cool and informative! Thank you NYA and MBTS👍🏻👍🏻🍀

Very interesting and intriguing. Back when adding fiberglass fibers to concrete became (somewhat) common, I wondered if something like this couldn't be done. I felt it might not be strong enough in a rebar type format. Evidently I was wrong about that. Cheap imitations could be a problem. Very cool to see! I am curious about how flexible it is, say, in a slab situation. The only thing you didn't cover is the cost vs steel rebar. And, sounds like you might be working on becoming a distributor for them.

A very nice thing about composite rebar is it doesn't corrode if you're using it in/near water (especially seawater). I've been looking at the Litebar from Liteform to use as rebar.

That was a great video Matt this product is a win for everyone transport costs less fuel ware and tear on road's and easy to use 👍

Great info MATT on this Field trip!!! (Yes, I too was thinking of BoSheeps Cane! 🤣) WE want a Slinky!🤣

I have always thought that someone would come up with a better then steel rebar, it seems moisture is the number one cause of failure with concrete and steel, due to as the rebar rust away the bond of steel to concrete is lost, I know epoxy coated steel rebar still has a short life due to nicks in the epoxy then the steel fails, I wonder how the life span of bridges could be extended by usage of this product, maybe double it's life? great Job Matt and MBTS.

Great product great review of a new product great visit to the factory great video thanks Matt

Interesting video. In the outside shots the wind noise covered up most of the details about the color and applications. Next question is eventually the concrete with this rebar will be recycled, what hazards are there when the concrete is crushed. When I worked at a concrete recycling facility there were magnets to remove the steel.

By far, my favorite video yet. This was extremely interesting and informative. Boom baby!

Phenomenal. Thanks for this video Matt.

Thanks Matt, really enjoy factory tours.

Awesome content. As someone in quality control, I can safely say not enough companies go through that level of effort for incoming quality control (IQC), in-process quality control (IPQC) and outgoing quality control (OQC). You really want to have a quality product to put all that in place right away.

huh, this was really informative and interesting. Thanks for the neat upload

Amazing - learning something all the time - what a phenomenal product.

Thanks so much for the info Matt .

Look like a great product, can't wait to watch you install it on your project.

Cool! Thank you and have wonderful week.

Ohio built a bridge with half steel rebar and other half fiberglass rebar.

That was awesome. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Very, very interesting. Thanks for taking us along.

Thanks Matt, very informative.

Best video I have ever seen ever!!!! Thank you Matt

Very informative video, It was very enjoyable. I never knew this product was possible. Thanks Matt, MBTS for bringing this too our attention. Best wishes too you both. Colin

Fantastic i am looking fallward to seeing that put into your adition it looks like eny one can use it for lots of aplections

This is the most interesting things you have shown in awhile thank you for sharing ❤

Excellent content! Thanks for going out and finding new technologies that we can watch and learn about on your channel. I look forward to seeing this applied to your addition when you use the ICF.

Great info Mat; enjoyed hearing about this content!

Great presentation thank you. Practical, detailed and well described.

Wow, that’s awesome!!

The best product and technical aspect video i have seen. Thanks for the education.

Wowww I had never even heard about this product before!!

👍👍👍💙💛❤Calitatea acestui material din fibra de sticla exceptionala in toate tipurile de constructii, cu o inalt control al calitatii. Felicitari firmei MST BAR si tie MATT ca ni le prezinti si noua. MERITA PROMOVATI.💙💛❤👍👍👍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Morning!!! Great walk about !! Cheers!;-)!! This was good!!

Enjoyed the video, I really hated the audio when outside. Please get a wind mic for wind. Keep up the great work!

Good morning Friday April 21st local time 6:05 AM here in North Carolina👍

Very interesting, you guys did a great job.

Fantastic! You learn something new everyday

That was a very informative video I learned a lot thank you

Sure as heck sounded like metal when he tapped it off the floor didn't it lol pretty nice stuff huh Matt 👊💪👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Wow that stuff is amazing

a few concrete youtube channels have switched to fiberglass rebar

Very cool technology and crazy tensile strength!

Awesome Matt

Great video. Very interesting.

I find this very interesting, thanks for taking the time to do this video, being a person who has experience with steel rebar, and it was not a fun experience, This would be worth looking into for sure. Thanks for the tag along video sir.

I gotta say, very interesting. I am in Europe and have a building construction site 20 yards from my home. I see lots of rebar being used, walls, floors etc. I do see welders making custom cages for corners and areas around windows. I do not see how this can be done with glass rebar. It puts more pressure on architects and designers to do very very detailed material lists. As we know, nothing always fits the way we plan. How easy does this product lend itself tp adaption. I am blown away by glass rebar. I hope it takes off. I see a good future. Thumbs up to you for bringing it to us. Thanks. Looking forward to the Castle addition

Canadian innovation at its best! You were only a 45 min drive away from us. Ya’ll coulda had free room and board for the stay. HMU anytime you’re up this way in the future. We’d be glad to have yas! Thanks for sharing Matt!

Great informative video, with a excellent guide who knows the product as you with your knowledge and research shows with the questions and commentary's. The filming was done with the best (MBTS) making the final editing a nice, finished product. Thanks for sharing I hope they can boost sales in the US market.

Awesome stuff.

Creative use of natural ingredients (sand) & the building of a better end product while maintaining a safer & healthier workforce.

Great info

great post , thanks from Melbourne Australia

Great video. I wish that I knew you were coming to Toronto. I would have driven down from Owen Sound and taking you all out for dinner.

Amazing product

Very interesting video. If you mentioned it I missed it but how does it compare in strength to steel rebar

Very informative! You could even use those as greenhouse arches!

Great tour of MST facility. They seem to have a very good product. Waiting to see it use. Now I see why MBTS had to get his passport.

Great video .

man that was some nice camera work on who your cameraman was but what a beautiful job he did or she something tells me it wasn't a very tall person

Very interesting

The horizontal test was nice... What about a vertical test for strength. As you know, some of them might be used on a roof solution where the force is horizontal, not vertical. I've seen some tests on fiberglass rebar and didn't perform that well. Is there a similar test on this particular company's product?

It’s interesting!

That’s some nice product for replacing the old steel rebar

Even though I know of this product (I work in precast concrete), it's still interesting. We use it in electric service vaults where conductivity of steel rebar can create grounding and heat concerns.

Very interesting, good for this old planet.

I like how in every single one of these fiberglass rebar videos they show you the weight diffrence and tell you that they perform the same, but I found only one video where they actually test the damn thing, and the fiberglass bar fails miserably

Good morning sunshine much love from Henderson Ga

That is some cool material, light easy to use, easy on the body.......but it will always come down to.....Cost.

Great video matt😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Very entertaining

Awesome stuff, I e going Matt

Nice for shoeing it.

Interesting,👍👍👍😎😎😎

Perhaps that can be used in the Japanese SC guideway to prevent eddy currents in the rebar.

awsome

What a brilliant product, the company have really done their homework. It would save an absolute fortune, although it's the same size of rebar the transport cost would be much reduced as it's a lot lighter. Then there's site equipment and man hours, as an independent contractor on smaller builds, you could save money on expensive lifting equipment and man power. And any waste can go back through the supply chain. I've inspected so many buildings that have had blown concrete, caused by rust on the rebar, you wouldn't get that again. It would also be interesting to see how it performs in earthquake areas, I wonder how it would react with sideways movement. 👍🤗

Very interesting, just needs the old school user to be educated and understand it’s potential ! Thanks Matt !

Someone was talking in comments about recycle concrete. Steel reber will stretch and break. The strength of the glass rod so much high. That means the shears and excavators will have to be reengineered for this. That is very impressive, nice job. Now find a slab with glass rod to destroy, see if dirt perfect can do it.

Thanks Mat you learn something new every day, one question is approximately what is the cost difference on site from normal steel rebar to fibreglass rebar? Excellent camera work Aaron

I like the fact that it doesn't rust in concrete but in a lot of building codes you have to put a Ufer ground in the footer and fiberglass is not conductive so you would have to use some steel around the footer to make a proper ground for house wiring. I went to Lowes and found that they sell Owens Corning pink #4 x 10' for around $8.50 each and steel #4 x 10' cost $7.50.

Very nice sounding product. It certainly solves a lot of issues when using rebar. My only concern is what happens when the time comes to take down a structure with this in it. We have issues now with material generally referred to as plastics and what to due with them. One of the big issues with windmills are when the blades reach the end of their life cycle. So far, it has not been figured out how to recycle them or refurbish them. Just a thought as I try to think to the future.

My thoughts "MBTS" was on scene was he thinking of a way to weld the fiberglass bar? LOL!

Cool

That's a awesome video Matt. Great company and product. They do custom orders so pretty much you can send them a copy of your blueprint and they will make the rebar to your needs so you don't have to cut and bend on the job. Wow that's gonna cut the time of the project or job in half. You picked up a bundle of the rebar, how many bundles could you carry at once?

" ( air quotes)" THANKS

This would be good in planes vehicles in everything that needs more strength great product just to many applications to mention

I saw a concrete company using this product and had my doubts, but not any more. This is a fantastic product! How do you tie this product as in a slab mat?

Worked on a plant early 2000, I think they could have produced the reels of fiberglass that they use. The one thing that I do remember. After watching that process, it was very cold area. My joints hurt so bad, and I still had one more day there before I could fly home. My body was hurting.
