FIBERS DO NOT REPLACE GOOD CONCRETING PRACTICES

Why should Fiber-Reinforced concrete be used as temperature-shrinkage reinforcement instead of wire mesh? Plain and simple, the three dimensional fibers are distributed throughout the concrete matrix, working to enhance its long term durability whereas wire mesh is placed in a single plane of the concrete.

Applications for Fiber-Reinforced concrete are:

Driveways

Patios

Sidewalks

Swimming Pools and Decks

Basement Floors

House Slabs

Decorative Concrete

Benefits of Fiber-Reinforced concrete are:

Reduces plastic shrinkage and plastic settlement

Modifies micro-macro cracking of the hardened concrete

Reduces permeability

Increases impact resistance

Increases surface abrasion resistance

Increases fatigue strength

All of the above add up to less maintenance and longevity
