Exploring FIBERMESH- is it right for your project?
A major component of any construction project is the material. You want the best materials, but you also don’t want to break the Bank. It’s the age-old struggle. Well, there is a product that can tick both those boxes. It’s FIBERMESH.
What is FIBERMESH?
FIBERMESH is a product made from virgin polypropylene fibers and used to reinforce concrete, especially for floors, driveways, and alllarge, slab-on-grade, pours. Wait... did we write that right? Polypropylene fibers? Yes, we did! FIBERMESH really does reinforce concrete, instead of using wire mesh!
How does it work?
While the concrete is in its plastic (wet) state, the fibers are added to the mixture and tumbled until evenly distributed. This even distribution helps to reinforce the concrete in all directions and assists with crack control, reducing water loss and increasing impact resistance and compression strength.
Is it the right product for your project?
We know, it seems like FIBERMESH can do it all! As it can do all of the above, it’s both a cost-effective and labour-saving product that can help you complete your project with a long lifespan and safety in mind. With a convenient ratio of 1 bag per cubic metre*, using FIBERMESH gets you the best value for your money.
You’ll also reduce costs by eliminating the wastage factor which projects invariably can, and do, produce. FIBERMESH comes in a water-soluble bag, which you can toss directly into the mixer- the bag will dissolve, allowing for the fibers to begin mixing, hence there’s no wastage and with this feature, you’ll also play a role in saving the environment. We can’t forget the safety factor. Instead of adding wire mesh to an already potentially dangerous environment containing nails, planks, pipes, and wires, the packaging and method of use for FIBERMESH contribute to making your worksite a safer and more productive location.
So, if safety, minimum wastage, environmental protection, and cost are concerns of yours, then FIBERMESH is the product for you!
After all, FIBERMESH is all about “Making Good Concrete Better!”
