Repair and Strengthen in One Shot: Introducing the Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM)
The Next Generation of Composite Strengthening Systems™ for Concrete and Masonry Structures
Repair, protect and strengthen aging, damaged or overloaded concrete and masonry structures in one application and significantly reduce your installed cost.
What is FRCM? Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix OverviewLearn More
FRCM or Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix combines a high-performance sprayable mortar with a carbon-fiber grid to create a thin structural layer that will not add significant weight or volume to the existing structure.
FRCM ApplicationsLearn More
Significant flexural, axial or shear strength gains can be realized with an easy-to-apply composite that does not add significant weight or mass to the structure. FRCM provides a low-impact, low-weight alternative to traditional concrete strengthening and retrofit methods. Many times, it is the most economical strengthening solution available, given its reduced preparation and installation time.
