Fiber mesh concrete, also known as fiber reinforced concrete, has fibers as one of the mix design constituents instead of using wire mesh. Both macro fibers and microfibers are used for this purpose, although the application of each of these differs. Macro fibers are large fibers that add flexural strength to the concrete.

Fiber mesh helps concrete retain its toughness and improve its impact resistance. Unlike the wire mesh, which is laid down in a single layer throughout the concrete, fiber mesh is mixed evenly into wet concrete before it's poured. There are two types of fiber mesh that help protect concrete: microfiber and macrofiber.

Fiber mesh reinforcement significantly improves the flexural strength of concrete, which is essential for driveways that endure heavy vehicle loads and surface movement (like frost heaving). By adding macrofibers to the concrete mix, fiber reinforcement prevents cracking and enhances overall durability.

Fiber mesh reduces shrinkage and cracking of concrete. Similar to other reinforced concrete, it improves the tensile strength of concrete. Reduces the chance of spalling since the fiber inside melts and allows the water content in concrete to escape. It is easy to include fibers in the concrete mix design.

The purpose of fiber mesh is to reduce water loss from the concrete as well as enhance its structural integrity. This type is also used to create a higher impact resistance in the concrete, prevent thawing, and increase its strength.
