Fibre concrete is a form of reinforced concrete where synthetic or steel fibres are added to the mix to improve its performance characteristics. These fibres help control cracking, improve impact resistance and reduce shrinkage — making fibre-reinforced concrete ideal for slabs, industrial floors, pavements, and other applications where durability and long-term performance matter.
At Sussex Ready Mix Concrete, we supply fibre concrete tailored to the demands of both commercial and contractor projects across Sussex. Whether you’re pouring a workshop floor, a driveway, or a structural slab, adding fibre can enhance the overall durability and performance of your concrete.
Fibre concrete incorporates small, uniformly distributed fibres — either synthetic (often polypropylene) or steel — into the concrete mix. Unlike traditional reinforcement such as rebar or mesh alone, these fibres help improve the concrete’s post-cracking behaviour and reduce plastic shrinkage cracking during curing.
Made from polymer materials
Improve crack resistance and surface toughness
Excellent for residential slabs, driveways, and pavements
High tensile strength
Ideal for heavy-duty industrial floors and high-load applications
Provides enhanced impact resistance and structural performance
Hybrid Fibre Options
Available on request for specialised uses where a mix of performance benefits is desired.
Fibre concrete offers multiple advantages:
Improved crack control – Fibres reduce plastic shrinkage cracking during curing
Enhanced durability – Increased resistance to impact and wear
Better load distribution – Particularly useful in heavy traffic or industrial floors
Reduced reinforcement labour – Can supplement or reduce the need for traditional mesh or rebar in some applications
These benefits make fibre concrete suitable for a range of domestic and commercial uses — from driveways and patios to heavy-duty industrial slabs.
Fibres are added directly into the concrete mix at the batching stage. With our volumetric mixing system, we can introduce fibres to your concrete at the correct dosage based on your project specifications. This ensures consistent distribution and optimal performance across the slab or structure.
When ordering fibre concrete, simply tell us:
The type of fibre needed
The expected use case
Any performance requirements
We’ll take care of the rest.
Fibre concrete is commonly used for:
Residential and commercial floor slabs
Industrial workshops and warehouses
Driveways, pavements, and hardstanding
Footpaths and public areas
Structural elements where enhanced durability is required
