TMT BARS

TMT Bars (Thermo Mechanically Treated Bars) are high-strength, ductile, and corrosion-resistant steel reinforcement bars ideal for building foundations, columns, beams, and slabs. They provide superior tensile strength, earthquake resistance, and bonding with concrete, ensuring safe and long-lasting construction in Kenya.

Overview

TMT Bars are essential reinforcement components used in reinforced concrete (RCC) construction. Made from high-grade steel, these bars undergo a thermo-mechanical treatment process that gives them a tough outer surface and a soft, ductile core. This combination makes TMT bars strong, flexible, and earthquake-resistant, perfectly suited for Kenya’s residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects.

At Burhani Hardware Dealers (BHD), we supply premium-quality TMT Bars available in various diameters, conforming to KEBS standards, and suitable for all structural applications — from foundations to high-rise buildings.

Whether you’re constructing a home, apartment, or bridge, TMT bars ensure maximum load-bearing capacity, durability, and safety.
