Enhance the properties of your concrete by incorporating Micro, Macro or Steel Fibres tailored to your performance needs.
Whether you need to control early-age cracking and durability or improve load-bearing capacity and enhance crack-bridging performance, our fibres can be added to all our concrete mixes.
Get in touch about Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Fibres can be used in many different concrete mixes to significantly enhance their performance by improving durability, toughness, and crack resistance.
Fibre distribution throughout the concrete mix helps to control shrinkage cracking during drying and increases the materials ability to absorb energy, making it more ductile and resistant to sudden failure. Fibres also improve the tensile and flexural strength of concrete, allowing it to better withstand bending and tension forces.
Our fibre reinforced concrete can reduce or even eliminate the need for traditional steel reinforcement, making construction faster, more economical, and less labour-intensive.
Our fibre reinforced concrete can be used in a wide range of applications, including:
Please contact the team to discuss your specific project requirements and application.
Improved crack control
Increased toughness & ductility
Enhanced tensile, flexural & impact strength
Faster & easier construction
Our Micro, Macro and Steel fibres can be incorporated into your concrete mix to improve crack control, toughness and durability throughout its lifecycle. Fibres can be combined to provide even greater performance. Explore the benefits of each fibre type below.
Micro and macro fibres improve the performance of fibre reinforced concrete by enhancing crack control, toughness, and long‑term durability.
Micro fibres help control plastic shrinkage and early‑age cracking while the concrete is still plastic, improving surface quality and durability.
Macro fibres provide structural benefits including, increasing post‑crack strength, energy absorption, and ductility, helping concrete structures perform reliably under demanding conditions.
Incorporating fibres into your concrete mix helps improve the durability and service life of the concrete structures by reducing the formation and widening of cracks. This effective crack control helps to prevent water ingress, chemical attack, and reinforcement corrosion.
By minimising these risks, fibre reinforced concrete delivers improved durability helping to extend the structure’s service life, and reduce ongoing maintenance requirements.
Yes, macro fibres can partially, or fully, replace steel mesh helping to speed up construction times while making it safer and most effective.
In some cases adding fibres into a concrete mix can elimanate the need for traditional reinforcement, especially for slabs, pavements, precast elements and shotcrete and in areas with complex shapes or access challenges.
Our ready-mix concrete is normally delivered in an 8-wheeler mixer truck that typically carries 7.5m3 of concrete and has a gross weight of 32t. For hard-to-access areas or smaller loads our Breedon Minimix service may be suitable.
We also offer a collection service from specific plants. Please contact us for more information and locations.
