BIPChairs securely hold rebar in place eliminating the need for tie wire. Easy snap-in application allows for a typical rebar grid to be constructed with greatly reduced labor time compared to traditional methods. The chairs are designed with a pre-loaded head to ensure that the rebar securely snaps and locks into place. The patent-pending chairs are available in multiple heights and bar sizes. The Chairs are distributed in North America through PrimeSource Building Products, Inc., under the Grip-Rite brand. In Australia, the Chairs are available through BIP Australia, (www.bipaustralia.com.au). Soon BIPChairs will be released in UAE, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia, Japan and 16 European countries.
