There will always be that nagging question that lingers behind your thoughts when planning to construct your house. “How will this structure last 30-40 years?” I have spent many years observing construction across the country and can state with certainty, the type and quality of steel used on your building will have an enormous effect on the strength and longevity of your dream home. So let’s take a very simple look at the various types of Steels used in construction.

TMT Bars – The Backbone of Every House

All house builders today are using TMT bars in their construction of homes. TMT bars take a long process of heating and cooling. They become extremely durable on the outside and very flexible on the inside.

Because of this, they have a lot of strength and can resist earthquakes. In addition, TMT bars bond excellently with concrete.

Amman-Try offers three grades of TMT bars:

• Fe500
• Fe500D (I recommend this grade for the majority of houses)
• Fe550D (This grade is ideal for large buildings)

The size of TMT bars starts from 6mm to 32mm in diameter. TMT bars can be used with safety for the construction of columns, beams, slabs, and foundations.

CRS Bars – Ideal for Coastal & Humid Places

Corrosion Resistant Steel (CRS) rebar has copper and chromium added to its alloy composition which helps prevent corrosion on steel rebar caused by exposure to salt or damp conditions. Even though CRS rebar is somewhat more expensive than regular steel rebar, the investment will save owners from a lot of headaches down the road due to corrosion caused by the elements.

RMS – Ready Made Steel Rings

This is one product that many builders have started loving. RMS (Ready Made Steel Rings / Stirrups) means you don’t have to get your labourers to cut and bend rings at the site.

They come ready with accurate sizes and proper 135° hooks. This saves time, reduces labour cost, cuts down wastage, and gives much cleaner and stronger work.

It is a significant emotional decision to build the house. It is not just about cement and steel but it is also the place where your family is going to live in future. Think carefully about the steel to use. It will be a good investment.
