Expanding the boundaries of sustainable flooring solutions
Whether you are building an automated warehouse or a production plant, steel fiber reinforced concrete will offer you the right solution for your flooring needs. Steel fiber reinforced concrete is a safe and proven technology that is highly effective, cost-efficient and sustainable.
01
Enabling a uniform reinforcement
Steel fiber reinforced concrete is concrete that has been mixed with steel fibers. Steel fibers are short, discontinuous elements that are randomly distributed throughout the concrete member. As such, the fibers become part of the concrete matrix, turning it into a composite material. This homogeneous distribution creates a uniform reinforcement of the floor.
02
Ensuring optimal crack control
Industrial activities, fatigue and other stresses may generate cracking. As steel fibers actively reinforce every part of your industrial floor, they will detect small cracks once they occur. The steel fibers will primarily bridge growing cracks, thus restricting their further growth and propagation.
03
Delivering performance and sustainability
Steel fiber reinforcement, compared to conventional reinforcement, saves both concrete and steel, enabling up to 35% of CO2 savings for every flooring project. This helps you reach your sustainability targets such as LEED and BREEAM certification more easily. Dramix® allows you to lower your TCO by -15% to -30% compared to conventional reinforcement solutions.

A smart and proven reinforcement technology
Steel fibers are part of the concrete matrix, turning it into a composite material. Instead of providing strength in distinct locations, the fibers form a reinforcing network throughout the entire concrete structure.
A more efficient process
Dramix® steel fibers are added directly to the concrete premixed and ready to pump. This way the mesh placing process can be avoided and construction time shortened.
Dramix® will support you on your sustainability journey
Using Dramix® means using less concrete and less steel, building longer lasting elements and sustainable transportation.
Fewer people and resources needed for a safer reinforcement.
Working with steel fiber reinforcement greatly reduces labor and resources on site. By not having to install mesh or rebar, you can cut out a significant part of your schedule and budget.
