Steel Bar Price in Kenya (Round Bars)
Prices are per piece as listed; check the bar length on each product page before you calculate quantities.
R Bars vs Y Bars: What Is the Difference?
| R (round) bars | Y (deformed, high-yield) bars | |
|---|---|---|
| Surface | Smooth | Ribbed, for better grip in concrete |
| Strength | Mild steel, lower strength | Higher strength |
| Typical use | Stirrups, links, light work | Main reinforcement in columns, beams, slabs and foundations |
The number is the diameter in millimetres: R8 is an 8 mm round bar, Y12 a 12 mm high-yield bar. Your engineer's drawings say which bars go where; do not swap Y bars for R bars.
