Save time, money and space with our smart and cost effective alternative to traditional reinforcement mesh

Developed between CMF and The Steel and Construction Institue, FibreDeck is a fibre reinforcement alternative to standard reinforcement meshes.

Through in-depth analysis of fibre properties from a number of fibre manufacturers, the following fibres are verified for use with MetFloor decking and can be designed accordingly in the MetFloor software:

• Sika Novocon FE-1050 & Fibremesh-150, steel and micro-synthetic fibre blend

• Bekaert Dramix 3D 80/60BG steel fibres

• ArcelorMittal XCarb HE 90/60 steel fibres

• FCS Apex 60 steel fibres

These are combined with traditional concrete to deliver a three-dimensional reinforcement solution.

Pre-mixed offsite, FibreDeck is supplied ready to pump and provides both a unique technical solution for MetFloor composite decking and measura-ble performance benefits for the lifespan of the concrete slab.

Product advantages

Concrete quality

FibreDeck’s micro-synthetic fibres reduce plastic shrinkage and cracking, com-bined with Novocon’s steel fibres increasing toughness and ensuring long term crack control.

Fire safety

The micro-synthetic fibres help to control the explosive spalling tendency of con-crete during fire and provides suitable fire performance with ratings of up to 2 hours.

Independently tested

Independent testing by NAMAS under the guidance of the SCI to BS EN 1365-2:2000 proved FibreDeck’s provision of equivalent or superior fire performance to tradi-tional welded mesh. Testing by the SCI confirmed FibreDeck’s longitudinal shear resistance to be superior to even A393 welded reinforcement mesh.

Savings

FibreDeck can result in up to 20% savings on site programmes through reduced instal-lation times, alongside potential concrete volume and crane hire cost reductions.

Safety

With FibreDeck there is no lifting or manual handling of welded wire mesh and ensures easier application of concrete with no tripping hazards from mesh reinforcement.

Crushed ends

Available with crushed ends, improving both fire and acoustic performances.

Onsite benefits

Ideal for multi rise construction & in particular car park structures, maximising column spacing for increased capacity, combined with speed of installation. Also available with alternative coatings, for enhanced protection in exposed environments.
