Fibredeck

• Eliminates the need for wire mesh
• 20% Saving in time programme
• Fire rated
• Reduced Health & Safety issues
• Single Point Solution

Fibredeck is a composite floor system that uses a combination of Fibermesh micro-synthetic fibres and Novocon steel fibres to provide a 3 dimensional fibre reinforced concrete.

Traditionally composite metal deck construction has utilised mesh fabric reinforcement. This has involved the delivery, lifting and installation of welded wire mesh on to the floor prior to the pouring of concrete. This overall operation proves both costly and time consuming in relation to the equipment and man hours required to both install the mesh safely and to the engineers specification.

Fibredeck reinforcement is provided within the concrete delivered and ready to pump at site. Significantly this can reduce installation times by up to 20%.

Benefits of Fibredeck

• Up to 20% on site Programme savings.
• No lifting issues for the installation of mesh reinforcement.
• No manual handling of mesh reinforcement.
• Easier concrete placement - no trip hazard from mesh.
• Independent testing proves that Fibredeck provides equivalent or superior performance to traditional welded wire fabric solutions.
• Fibredeck is a specifically developed solution for composite metal decks. The combination of Novocon Steel and Fibermesh micro-synthetic fibres provide a unique technical solution.
• The inclusion of Fibermesh microsynthetic fibres are proven to reduce plastice shrinkage and settlement cracking. They are also proven to mitigate the explosive spalling tendency of concrete during fires, because they melt and relieve volatile steam pressure in the concrete.
• The inclusion of Novocon Steel Fibres provides load bearing capabilities, increased toughness and long term crack control.
• No onsite storage requirements
• No lapping and spacer products required.
