Fibre Reinforcement for Residential Beam and Block Floors
FCS concrete reinforcement fibres offer many benefits when used in concrete toppings on residential beam & block floors when compared with traditional steel mesh.
As the reinforcement arrives on site ready mixed in the concrete, it saves time & money, is safer to use and importantly, eliminates the risk of issues associated with the incorrect placement of steel mesh.
FCS fibres will also improve impact & shatter resistance, help reduce plastic shrinkage cracking and ensure a superior and more durable concrete floor.
Why Choose Fibre Concrete Solutions for Reinforced Residential Beam and Block Floors?
In 2018, the NHBC issued guidance on the use of reinforcement to concrete toppings above beam & block floors. The guidance advises the different types of reinforcement that can be adopted depending on the beam & block system being used. Furthermore, the guidance stipulates that when considering macro fibre or steel fibre solutions for use in concrete toppings on “Non-load-bearing blocks”, third-party accreditation or test evidence is required in order to be acceptable to the NHBC.
Fibre Concrete Solutions have our own BBA certification for our products to be used in all beam and block floor solutions accredited by the BBA, enabling our Nexus 85 macro fibres and Apex 60 steel fibres to be accepted by the NHBC and others.
Our Nexus 85 macro synthetic or Apex 60 steel fibres offer market-leading low-dosage solutions for your residential beam & block floors, while still maintaining CE compliance for the structural reinforcement of concrete, according to BSEN14889: Parts 1 & 2, at dosage rates of just 2.25kg/m3 and 7.5kg/m3 respectively.
