Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Supply in Flushing, NY: Crack Resistance Built Into the Mix
Shrinkage cracks on a new slab aren't just cosmetic. They're a sign the mix wasn't set up to resist them.

Standard concrete shrinks slightly as it cures. On flatwork, slabs, and surfaces that take ongoing wear, that shrinkage can produce cracking, particularly when the pour spans a large area or the surface will face vehicle traffic and freeze-thaw exposure. Fiber-reinforced concrete blends reinforcing fibers uniformly throughout the mix before delivery, so crack resistance is distributed through the entire slab, not just at the rebar lines. We supply fiber-reinforced concrete batched to your specification, delivered across NYC. Call (718) 939-3245.
Fiber-reinforced concrete makes sense for slabs, flatwork, driveways, industrial floors, and any pour where plastic shrinkage cracking is a risk and you want additional resistance built into the mix. It's also used to reduce or supplement traditional reinforcement in certain slab-on-grade applications. For exterior flatwork in Queens, where freeze-thaw cycles stress concrete surfaces repeatedly through the winter, a mix with crack-resistance admixtures performs better over time than standard concrete alone.
If your spec calls for fiber reinforcement, or if your contractor has recommended it for a slab application, this is the right product. It doesn't replace rebar where engineering requires defined tension reinforcement, but it adds a layer of crack resistance that standard concrete doesn't provide.
WHEN YOU NEED FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE SUPPLY
OUR FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE SUPPLY PROCESS
Call (718) 939-3245 and tell us your project type, the fiber specification or dosage required, volume in cubic yards, site address, and delivery timeframe. Fiber type, dosage, and mix design all matter for the application. We batch the fibers into the mix at our plant so they're uniformly distributed throughout the concrete before delivery. Every order includes a batch ticket documenting the mix. We run 24/7 and coordinate delivery timing around your pour schedule.
FIBER-REINFORCED CONCRETE SUPPLY COST IN FLUSHING
Fiber-reinforced mixes carry a higher cost per yard than standard concrete, reflecting the cost of the fiber admixture and batching. The premium varies with fiber type and dosage. Where fibers reduce the need for supplemental steel reinforcement, the overall project cost can remain competitive. We provide free estimates. Call (718) 939-3245 for a quote.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Fibers are distributed uniformly throughout the concrete mix and act as reinforcement across the entire cross-section of the slab. They bridge small cracks as the concrete cures and shrinks, helping to limit crack width and propagation. As the Concrete Network describes, because the fibers are uniformly distributed from top to bottom, they provide reinforcement throughout the entire slab, not just at a single plane the way rebar does.
-
Not in most structural applications. Fiber reinforcement is primarily used to control plastic shrinkage cracking and improve slab durability. For structural elements where engineering requires rebar in defined tension zones, fibers supplement but typically don't replace that steel. For slab-on-grade and flatwork applications, fibers can sometimes reduce the amount of supplemental steel needed, depending on the project spec.
-
The most common types for ready-mix supply are synthetic microfibers, used for plastic shrinkage crack control at lower dosages, and macro-synthetic or steel fibers, used at higher dosages for applications requiring more substantial crack control or temperature and shrinkage reinforcement. The right type depends on your application and spec. Tell us your project when you call and we'll discuss the right product.
-
They can. Adding fibers may reduce slump slightly and increase the stiffness of the mix. A water-reducing admixture is sometimes added to maintain workability. Surface finishing is achievable with proper technique, and a well-batched fiber-reinforced mix can produce a finish comparable to standard concrete. These are factors we account for in the mix design.
-
Yes, for the right applications. Queens experiences full freeze-thaw cycles through the winter, and exterior flatwork faces repeated stress from temperature swings, moisture, and de-icing materials. Fiber reinforcement combined with an air-entrained mix and appropriate PSI gives exterior slabs a better foundation for long-term durability. Call (718) 939-3245 to discuss your specific project.
