Advanced Decking Fibre Reinforced Concrete

Fibre Reinforced Concrete For Composite Metal Decking

Cemex, in conjunction with Propex have developed Advanced Decking – a fibre reinforced concrete for use on composite metal decking systems, eliminating the need for steel mesh. This delivers a significant reduction in reinforcement costs as well as faster and easier placement.

Cemex and Propex are market leading Deck types global companies specialising in the production of ready mixed concrete and fibre reinforced concrete solutions.

Together Propex & CEMEX have combined their expertise to create Advanced Decking. Advanced Decking is a tested and approved fibre reinforced concrete mix designed for composite metal decking systems. Advanced Decking eliminates the requirement for traditional steel mesh reinforcement resulting in a faster, easier and more cost effective solution for your projects.

The Advanced Decking system uses a unique combination of high performance steel fibres and polypropylene micro synthetic fibres to achieve a fully three dimensionally reinforced concrete slab.

Advanced Decking is manufactured by CEMEX in our quality controlled network of ready-mix concrete plants and is available throughout the UK. The product is delivered ready-mixed and requires no special handling on site.
