About Us Concrete Weaver is an international concrete

cloth manufacturer based in Europe, Belgium.

Our main distribution centre are located in Dubai – UAE., and Jabbeke, Belgium.

With new technologies and products, we aim to raise the concrete industry to a new standard. Our mission is to create a more cost effective and an easier way of using concrete in a wide range of industries.

We’ve worked with some of the brightest minds in the business and years & years went into developing our concrete weavers which we are very fond of.

We call it our concrete miracle.

What is it? Concrete Weavers is a new and revolutionary

construction material called concrete rolls or concrete cloth. Essentially it is concrete on a roll.

Concrete Weavers Key Properties Flexible: Concrete Weavers are highly flexible before hydration. This allows theroll tocloselyfollowthegroundprofileandfit around existing infrastructure. Afterhydrationithasacertainflexibilitytopreventcracking.

Water Proof: Concrete Weavers are highly impermeableafterhardening.

Strong:Thespecificallyforconcreteweaverscreateddrymixbecomesverystrongafterhydration. The military version is an extra strong version of the concrete weavers.Pleaserefertothedatasheet.

Concrete Weavers User Benefits Rapid Installation: Depending on theapplication, Concrete Weavers can beinstalled at a speed of up to 250m2/hour,much faster than traditional concretesolutions.

Easy to Use: Concrete Weavers come in ready to install rolls, just roll it out, fixateit and hydrate. Can be installed in wetconditionsandinareaswithdifficultaccess.

Lower Project Costs: Less equipment/manpower on site and fast and easyinstallation reduce the overall project timeandcostsoftheproject.

Military

Aircraft Runway and Parking: The military version of the concrete weavers can beused for aircraft runways and temporaryparkingspotsforvehiclesandaircrafts.Bycovering compacted sand runways withconcreteweavers itpreventsdustenteringthe engines.
