Dowels are used in concrete to allow for expansion and contraction of concrete which occurs when weather and moisture changes exist, but keeps the concrete from lifting.

Some common sizes for smooth dowels are 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″, 7/8″, 1″, 1-1/8″ and 1-1/4″. These bars are produced in lengths and are usually shear cut or saw cut to specific lengths depending on the end application.

Jade Sterling Steel has carved a niche as one of the leading distributors of smooth bar products to the construction industry. We carry a large inventory of standard sizes of smooth rounds including 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″, 1″, 1-1/8″, 1-1/4″ and larger.  While our most competitive pricing is offered in no grade Domestic smooth rounds, we also have great deals on certified smooth bar. Some common grades we supply in smooth rounds are A36, Gr-40 and Gr-60. Most of our smooth bars are rolled to 20′ lengths, however, we do have the capacity to have specific lengths produced when required.
