Product Overview
The Concrete Wire Snake Spacer is a high-performance, lightweight, and robust continuous line spacer designed with a professional corrugated profile. Engineered to provide an extremely stable support system for mesh reinforcement, it serves as an economical and efficient method for maintaining precise spacing between two layers of reinforcement in concrete slabs, panels, and precast applications.
Specially designed to eliminate the common pitfalls of traditional plastic or wire chairs—such as exposure and instability—the Snake Spacer sits securely atop the bottom reinforcement layer. This ensures a uniform concrete cover and protects the structural integrity of the build without damaging the Damp Proof Membrane (DPM), making it the ideal alternative to hoop spacers by eliminating the need for on-site tying.

Key Advantages
Superior Quality
Fixed and constant wire thickness throughout the entire height ensures maximum strength and structural stability.
Rapid Installation
The unique snake shape allows for fast layout; unlike circular spacers, no manual tying is required on site.
Membrane Protection
Designed with no protruding wires, preventing damage to polythene membranes and allowing easy mesh sliding.
Uniform Spacing
Continuous line design ensures a consistent distance between reinforcement and formwork for a smoother finish.
Anti-Slip Grip
The corrugated profile provides an excellent grip, preventing mesh movement during the concrete pouring process.
Versatile Packing
Customized packaging solutions are available to meet specific client logistics and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Snake Spacers are far more efficient as they require no tying on site, significantly reducing labor costs. They also provide continuous support rather than point support, ensuring better mesh stability and protecting the DPM from damage.
Yes, as a professional manufacturer of metal wire products, we can produce spacers according to client-specific needs and technical drawings, offering any size and shape required for your project.
They are ideal for precast applications calling for double reinforcement, slab-on-ground construction, and civil engineering projects such as bridges, roads, and tunnels where precise reinforcement positioning is critical.
Our spacers are manufactured from high-strength steel and can be treated with specialized rust-inhibiting coatings or paint to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term structural durability.
They are placed at regular intervals on the formwork before pouring concrete. They can be attached using nails or screws, or clipped directly onto the reinforcement mesh for added stability.
Our products are widely recognized and trusted in the EU, AU, NZ, and USA markets, meeting strict international standards for masonry building and chemical industry applications.
