Revolutionizing Concrete: The Architectural Edge of FORTA Reinforcement Fiber

FORTA reinforcement fiber enhances concrete by adding strength, durability, and crack resistance, which are critical for architectural designs. It simplifies the construction process be eliminating the need for traditional steel reinforcement, thus saving time and reducing labor costs while improving safety on site. Its use also supports sustainable building practices, offering architects the flexibility to achieve both functional and aesthetic goals in modern construction.

Award Winning Fibers

1ST PLACE – ASCC 2016 AWARDS

In 2016, the American Society of Concrete Contractors awarded the “Stealth” project 1st Place in Concrete Artistry / Under 5000 SF. FORTA-FERRO®‘s use in the “Stealth” project was beneficial due to the angular slopes and overall complication of the design. FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fiber was used to ensure that the integrity and strength of the concrete would not be compromised.
