Concrete Reinforcement - Fibermesh
Ideal for Edmonton Concrete Driveways and Garage Pads



Next Level is committed to providing it's customers with the strongest and most durable concrete money can economically buy in Edmonton. We believe the ARMCA Duramix concrete reinforced with 18 inch o.c. 10mm rebar and the new fibermesh is the best concrete to resist cracking in the harsh Edmonton winter.

Below is an article on the fibermesh product from the manufacturer's website. We are encouraging our customers to request us to add fibermesh to their concrete driveways and garage pads.

Synthetic Fibers

From the development of the first micro-synthetic fibers more than 20 years ago to the latest breakthrough in macro-synthetic fibers, Propex Concrete Systems is your single source for synthetic fiber solutions.

Micro-synthetic

Expressly formulated to address early age cracking problems, Fibermesh® micro-synthetic fibers prevent 80-100% of all cracks in the plastic state - precisely when most cracks occur. During the plastic settlement phase, the fibers create a three-dimensional support network that resists the downward pull of gravity, thus keeping aggregates in suspension and promoting uniform bleeding. This network increases the tensile strain capacity of concrete during the plastic shrinkage phase as well. Another advantage of polypropylene fibers is their ability to mitigate the explosive tendency of concrete during fires, because they melt and relieve volatile steam pressure in concrete. Even finishing Fibermesh products is easy. In applications where aesthetics are especially important, you can choose a Fibermesh product that provides a virtually invisible finish. In sum, it is clear why Fibermesh remains the world's most specified concrete reinforcement fiber, year after year.

Macro-synthetic

Representing a quantum technological leap in fibers, our high performance polymer macro-fibers are made from a revolutionary material that offers the long-term performance of steel fibers at a lower dosage rate. The unique sinusoidal, wavelike shape of each fiber serves to anchor it firmly within the concrete. At the same time, the design of the fibers allows for addition at a much higher rate per unit volume, infusing the concrete with added levels of toughness, energy absorption and durability. In addition, macro-synthetic fibers provide an added measure of crack control without the risk of corrosion associated with steel. When used in shotcrete applications, these high-tech fibers provide increased adhesion, so you'll not only experience less rebound and waste, you will be able to apply thicker layers of concrete in one pass.


Proven Crack Control and Reinforcement for Residential and Light Commercial Applications.

From slabs, driveways and sidewalks to pool decks and patios, today’s construction projects include more concrete features than ever. For these applications and others, trust proven Fibermesh® solutions from Propex Concrete Systems - the innovator in fiber reinforced concrete for more than 20 years.

Stops Cracks Before They Start.

  • Unlike traditional steel methods, Fibermesh fibers are uniformly distributed throughout the concrete mix and are always positioned positively so as to become an integral part of the concrete composite.

  • Fibermesh fibers reduce the formation of plastic shrinkage and settlement cracks by discouraging the segregation of the concrete ingredients while adding tensile strain capacity to plastic concrete. This reduction or elimination of plastic cracks enables the concrete to develop its optimum long-term integrity.

  • The Fibermesh "network of reinforcement" reaches every cubic inch of the concrete section for uniform reinforcement that minimizes early age cracking, reduces water migration, increases impact, abrasion and shatter resistance and provides residual strength and crack protection throughout.

  • Available with patented e3® technology that is engineered in specific lengths, thicknesses and mix ratios to enhance uniform distribution in fresh concrete.

An Easier, Safer Way to Reinforce Slabs.

  • No installation required; simply toss the water-soluble Fibermesh bags directly into the truck.

  • Compared to welded wire fabric, no fabricating or forming required; no cuts or scrapes.

  • Lower labor and in-place costs and reduced liability.

  • Saves construction time-quicker pouring schedule.

  • Finishes easily and smoothly with common tools; any fibers which might appear on the surface are quickly worn away by foot or vehicle traffic.

  • Virtually invisible Fibermesh multifilament fibers are also available for aesthetically demanding applications.
