We found a brand new condominium building that used corrosion resistant rebar tie wire in its foundation and structure
It wasn’t my plan to move into a condominium at 55 years of age, but I realized that my large house was too much for my laid back lifestyle. I was hating all of the yard and lawn maintenance each week, and I wasn’t even utilizing my garage work space any longer. My wife remarked that we had all of this wasted space and junk that we didn’t even need, so who were we kidding in all honesty? We weren’t utilizing a home this large on a regular basis, so it begged the question of why we couldn’t simply downsize at this point in our lives. I knew that my wife had long wondered whether or not she’d prefer living in a beach condo down south where the weather is warmer throughout the year. We have lived in the northern midwest for decades, and I was ready for a change if it meant being warmer on a consistent basis. However, I was a little worried about the condos near the coast lines. The builders sometimes use black rebar tie wire in their building projects, which is susceptible to corrosion from moisture exposure. When the concrete is close to the ocean, moisture is a fact of life. You need concrete reinforced with either galvanized, stainless steel, or PVC coated rebar tie wire for long lasting protection. We found a brand new condominium building that used corrosion resistant rebar tie wire in its foundation and structure. That gives me peace of mind, because I don’t want to perish in a horrific accident like we saw in Surfside, Florida last year. The rebar in that building was corroding at an advanced rate.
