FIBRES
Plastic Fibres
There are hundreds of variants of plastic fibres and these have definite benefits when used in concrete. Primarily this is to reduce the risk of cracking when the concrete hasn't set yet, which they are very good for and so recommended.
Plastic fibres are not suitable as mesh replacement
Fibres can be very beneficial to concrete when used in the right situations, but sometimes they are not a suitable replacement for normal.
Some contractors believe that polypropylene fibres are a replacement for mesh, but we do not agree.
Steel Fibres
Steel fibres can be a replacement for steel mesh, but only when engineered to do so. Their suitability is dependent on the location and design of the slab. Please check with your Bridgeman Concrete Sales Manager for more info.
