FibreFlor is a composite floor system that combines Fielders’ steel floor decking profiles and Propex Concrete Systems’ NovomeshTM fibres for a high performance flooring solution. NovomeshTM is a combination of micro-synthetic and steel fibres, which can eliminate the need for traditional steel mesh reinforcement in the slab.
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.
 
FibreFlor reinforcement is provided with the concrete delivered and ready to pump at site. Significantly this can reduce installation times by up to 20%.

Benefits of FibreFlor
  • 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 FibreFlor provides equivalent or superior performance to traditional welded wire fabric solutions.
  •  FibreFlor is a specifically developed solution for composite metal decks.
  • The combination of the micro-synthetic and steel fibres provides a unique technical solution.
  • The inclusion of the steel fibres provides load bearing capabilities, increased toughness and long term crack control.
  • No onsite storage requirements
  • No lapping and spacer products required.
  • The inclusion of the micro-synthetic fibres has been proven to reduce plastic 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.

 
Benefits of FibreFlor
• Proven to eleviate explosive spalling of concrete in fire.
• Inhibits plastic settlement and shrinkage cracking.
• Reduces permeability of concrete.
• Resists impact and abrasion forces.
• Increase of Freeze / Thaw durability.
• Easily mixed in concrete.
• Easily pumped
• Easily finished.
Benefits of Novocan
• Provides uniform multi-directional reinforcement within the concrete
• Increases ductility, moment and shear capacity of concrete.
• Increases crack resistance and toughness of concrete.
• Easily mixed in concrete.
• Easily pumped.
• Easily finished.

FibreFlor solutions
 
FibreFlor systems have been independently tested at the NAMAS certified fire test facility, under the guidance and control of The Steel Construction Institute and analysed to ensure compliance with the latest regulatory codes and good practice. FibreFlor is proven to provide up to 120 minute fire ratings for the KF70 and RF55 profiles, providing the unique benefits only offered by the FibreFlor system in the composite floor market.
