FLEXICRETE is a system of solid concrete blocks connected together to form continuous inter-connected areas which can be used for a variety of purposes. The standard individual blocks are square but rectangular, trapezoidal,hexagonal, circular ...etc. can also be provided. The standard connection between the blocks is a specially manufactured stainless steel mesh reinforcement. Depending on the purpose for which the FLEXICRETE panels are to be used, other types of inter-connecting materials can be used such as mild steel, nylon rope, high tensile steel (for less flexibility), steel strand and wire reinforcement.
