Fiber reinforcement is a profit center.

It does nothing more than prevent surface shrinkage cracking in the event the concrete surface dries out before it cures and that’s in a laboratory. Call the batch plant and ask them. They will tell you straight up if they are not criminals.

In the field, it only adds a few $ to the ready mix company’s bottom line.

Don’t buy it.

Nobody wants cracks. I used fiber reinforced concrete for my sidewalk, 300’ long driveway, and 36’x20’ patio. Not one crack 7 years later.
