Concrete guy convinced me to stop using fiber mesh in my driveways
I used to throw fiber mesh into every pour. Then I had a job out in Leduc last spring and the finisher, older guy named Gord, pointed at a hairline crack that showed up the next day. He said 'that fiber didn't do nothing for that crack, did it?' and explained how rebar or wire mesh handles actual movement while fiber is just for plastic shrinkage. Watched him fix a wide crack on a 3 year old driveway that had nothing but fiber. Switched to wire mesh on my last two residential jobs and haven't looked back. Anyone else find fiber mesh overhyped by the suppliers?
