FIBRECON steel fibres are widely used in Australia, NZ and Pacific Island countries. For over 30 years our fibres have replaced steel mesh in millions of square metres in various industrial, commercial and infrastructure projects.
Steel fibres strengthen concrete by resisting tensile cracking. Fibre reinforced concrete has a higher flexural strength than that of unreinforced concrete and concrete reinforced with welded wire fabric. But unlike conventional reinforcement – which strengthens in one or possibly two directions – steel fibres reinforce isotropically, greatly improving the concrete’s resistance to cracking, fragmentation, spalling and fatigue.
The fibres minimise the need for materials and labour on the site resulting in savings of time and money by replacing conventional steel mesh. Our steel fibres also significantly boost production and reduce product damage and wastage as fibres fully distribute through concrete. Moreover, they enhance safety by avoiding the need to substitute reinforcement in difficult conditions.
Our most popular fibres are Hooked End 65/35, 65/60 and 80/60. Continuously deformed/Crimped S38 fibres are also quite popular. These are standard length fibres. We also supply made for purpose custom length steel fibres.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete or SFRC?
Steel fibre reinforced concrete comprises hydraulic cements containing aggregate (fine, or fine and course) and steel fibres. A plasticiser or superplasticiser is often used to enhance mix workability. Steel fibre products (SFR or steel fibre reinforcement) are available in a variety of types and sizes from various manufacturers. However, the underlying principle of all SFRC designs is to provide discrete, discontinuous reinforcement and effective crack control.
How do Steel Fibres work?
Unlike wire mesh or rebar, steel fibres reinforce in three dimensions throughout the entire concrete matrix. The fibre functions to reinforce and restrain micro-cracking essentially acting as “miniature reinforcing bars”. The earlier a crack is intercepted and its growth inhibited, the lower the chance of it developing into a major flaw.
Are Steel Fibres a replacement for structural steel?
The sensible answer is “no”. Nothing takes the place of a properly engineered application to code. In structural applications, sufficient continuous steel reinforcement is required to take the full applied tensile load. Among the exceptions to this rule, however, are certain pre-cast applications. Steel fibre reinforcement may be used in conjunction with structural steel.
What properties of the concrete are improved by using Steel Fibres?
Steel fibre reinforced concrete acts as a uniform composite material. Compared to plain or conventionally reinforced concrete, the most immediate differences are improved ductility and post-crack performance. The specific effects on matrix mechanical properties greatly depend on the type and quantity of fibre used. Generally speaking, smaller fibres with a high fibre count offer superior first-crack strength and better fatigue endurance. Should a crack open widely, longer fibres with mechanical anchorage mechanisms offer better post-crack performance.
