New generation in concrete reinforcement

Why should fiber reinforced concrete be used as temperature-shrinkage reinforcement instead of wire mesh? Plain and simple, the three-dimensional fiber reinforcement is proactive. Wire mesh is in a single plain of the concrete whereas the fibers are throughout the concrete working to enhance its long-term durability.

Applications for Fiber Reinforced Concrete:

Residential interior and exterior slabs-on-ground

• Driveways
• Patios
• Sidewalks
• Swimming Pools Plus Decks
• Basement Floors
• House Slabs
• Decorative Concrete

Benefits of Fiber Reinforced Concrete:

• Why a 3-dimensional reinforcement works better than wire mesh
• Reduces plastic shrinkage cracking and plastic settlement
• Modifies micro-macro cracking of the hardened concrete
• Eliminates need for wire mesh for secondary reinforcement
• Reduces permeability
• Increases impact resistance
• Increases surface abrasion resistance
• Increases fatigue strength
• All of the above adds up to less maintenance and longer life

Choosing fiber reinforced concrete means you have selected current generation engineering technology. Fiber reinforcement starts working the minute the concrete is placed in the forms and works for the life of the concrete. Fiber reinforcement does not rust, rot or corrode. It is a lifetime companion with the concrete.
