The Fibermesh reputation is built on
sound quality products. Shouldn’t
your home be too?
Approximately 220 linear feet of footer 24-28” in
width by 24-26” thick reinforced with No. 4 bars
and Fibermesh 650 at 3.0 lb treatment per
cubic yard. The FM650 fiber provided added
benefits such as toughness around the rebar
matrix including reduction in water migration,
drying and plastic shrinkage cracking, and
100% positive placement of reinforcement
everywhere in this home’s foundation.
Not just fibers –
Fibermesh!

Approximately 150 linear
feet of wall 4” in width
reinforced with # 4 rebar
and Novomesh 950 dosed
at 5 lb per cubic yard. The
N950 fiber reinforces the
concrete matrix around the
rebar for100% positive
placement of reinforcement
in all areas of the concrete
walls, even where the rebar
is not located.

“We never saw any fiber accumulate
on the pumping screen, which can
occur when there is any sign of fiber
not being dispersed throughout the
mix.
The fiber seemed to prevent the mix
from traditionally running down the
length of the form and provided a more
consistent slump for ease of pumping
and distributing.”

This is not a wall, but a
FIBERMESH structure!
The poured in place retaining
wall was reinforced with an
engineered blend of
Fibermesh 650 and
Novomesh 950 macro
synthetic fibers. The structural
integrity of this concrete wall
is designed upfront to prevent
early crack formations and
deflective lateral forces from
heavy earthwork.

No need for welded wire
fabric or rebar here!
Fibermesh 650 used at
typical dosage rate of 3-4
pounds per cubic yard will
exceed any reinforcement
that homebuilders will
prescribe for residential
slab on grade.
Rest as ease….its not just
fibers, it’s FIBERMESH.

No unauthorized
cracking here!
Fibermesh 150 used in high
visible areas will provide
protection against early crack
forces while keeping the fiber
out of visible sight. You might
be the only one who knows
that fibers where used, but
you cannot hide the structural
integrity of the work.

Not just fibers….
a FIBERMESH barrier!
Novomesh 950 was used in
the porch deck. This particular
deck application also serves
as a barrier over a safe room
that the owners had installed.
Knowing that the fibers are
properly positioned for impact
resistance will insure the
owner’s family safety will not
be comprised.
