Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Fibre reinforced concrete, sometimes called fibre concrete or fibre mesh concrete, is a modern concrete mix designed to improve strength and reduce cracking. It is widely used where added durability is needed without installing traditional steel reinforcement.
AMIX supplies fibre reinforced concrete mixed to order and delivered ready for use, providing a practical and reliable solution for domestic and commercial projects.

What Is Fibre Reinforced Concrete?
Fibre reinforced concrete is a standard concrete mix enhanced with small fibres distributed evenly throughout the material. These fibres help control shrinkage, reduce cracking and improve the overall performance of the concrete as it cures and sets.
Unlike traditional reinforced concrete, fibre concrete does not rely on steel mesh or rebar. Instead, the fibres work throughout the slab, offering consistent crack resistance across the entire surface.
This makes fibre reinforced concrete a popular choice for slabs, driveways and areas exposed to regular loading.
Fibre Reinforced Concrete Uses
Fibre reinforced concrete is suitable for a wide range of applications where durability and crack control are important. Common uses include:
- Fibre reinforced concrete for driveways
- Fibre concrete for slabs
- Garage floors and workshop bases
- Paths, patios and external hardstanding
- Areas subject to light vehicle traffic
It is often chosen as a crack resistant concrete option where traditional reinforcement may not be required.

Benefits of Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Using concrete with fibres offers several practical advantages over standard mixes:
- Improved crack resistance during curing
- Reduced risk of surface shrinkage cracks
- Even strength throughout the slab
- No need for steel mesh in many applications
- Faster preparation and simpler installation
These benefits make reinforced fibre concrete a cost-effective option for many everyday construction projects.
Fibre Reinforced Concrete for Driveways and Slabs
Fibre reinforced concrete is commonly specified for driveways and slabs where the surface needs to cope with regular use and changing weather conditions. The fibres help distribute stresses caused by temperature changes and loading, reducing the likelihood of cracking over time.
While fibre concrete improves performance, correct ground preparation and proper installation remain essential. Our team can advise on whether fibre reinforced concrete is suitable for your specific application.
How Fibre Reinforced Concrete Is Supplied
AMIX supplies fibre reinforced concrete batched to order and delivered ready for placement. Before delivery, ensure:
- Access is clear for delivery vehicles
- Formwork is in place and secure
- Labour is available to place and finish the concrete promptly
Concrete should be poured soon after arrival to maintain workability and achieve the best finish.
