What Is Fiber in Concrete β€” and Why Use It?

If you think rebar is the only way to strengthen concrete β€” think again.
Let’s talk about fiber-reinforced concrete β€” a smart upgrade for your next pour πŸ‘‡

πŸ” What is fiber?
Fiber (or β€œfibra”) is tiny synthetic or steel strands mixed directly into the concrete.
You won’t see them once it’s poured β€” but they work from the inside out.

πŸ’ͺ What does fiber do?
βœ”οΈ Reduces cracking while the concrete cures
βœ”οΈ Improves durability and resistance to impact
βœ”οΈ Helps hold the slab together after small cracks form
βœ”οΈ Speeds up some projects β€” no need for mesh in certain cases

🧱 Fiber vs. Rebar: Which one?
They work differently:

Rebar gives strong structural support

Fiber helps control shrinkage, surface cracking, and adds flexibility

πŸ‘‰ Best results? Use both β€” each does what the other can’t.

🌴 Perfect for Florida
In Florida’s climate β€” heat, humidity, and heavy rains β€” fiber helps concrete resist early shrinkage and thermal stress.
It’s a small investment that can prevent big repairs later.
