Starbars™ GFRP Bar
Starbars™ GFRP Bar
Starbars™ GFRP Bar is Danterr’s high-performance solution in Fibreglass Reinforcement, developed to meet the demanding requirements of today’s construction projects. Manufactured using Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer technology, Starbars™ delivers durable, efficient reinforcement for concrete structures, providing long-term value across a wide range of applications. Starbars™ GFRP Bar is available in standard diameters ranging from 10mm to 16mm, supplied in 6000mm lengths.
Starbars™ GFRP Bar defines fibreglass concrete reinforcement, combining premium glass fibres with a resilient polymer matrix to produce a deformed reinforcing bar designed to perform reliably in challenging environments. Unlike steel, the material does not rust, making it well-suited to structures exposed to coastal, marine, or chemically aggressive conditions. It is manufactured in accordance with ASTM D7957/D7957M US Standard compliance and aligns with internationally recognised design and construction standards, providing confidence for engineers, consultants and contractors.
What is a GFRP Reinforcing Bar?
GFRP, or Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer, is a composite material formed by continuous high-strength glass fibres encapsulated within a polymer resin. This manufacturing process produces a robust GFRP Bar that is corrosion-resistant, lightweight and purpose-built for concrete reinforcement.

Key Features and Benefits
- Up to 2× stronger than steel reinforcement, delivering high tensile capacity for concrete applications
- Up to ¼ the weight of steel bars, allowing easier handling, transport and placement on site
- Reduced labour requirements, with documented handling efficiencies due to lightweight bars
- Lower transport and freight costs, achieved through significantly reduced bar weight
- Non-corrosive material, supporting longer structural service life in coastal, marine and chemically aggressive environments
- Improved site safety, as reduced bar weight lowers manual handling strain and repetitive lifting risks
- Electrical non-conductivity, making the bars suitable for rail, tram, MRI and electromagnetic-sensitive applications
