Fibre Reinforced Concrete
What is FRC?
CONCREA's furniture is handcrafted with Fibre Reinforced Concrete — a cement-based composite material comprised of cement, fine aggregate, water, acrylic co-polymer, and reinforcing fibres. The fibre reinforcement allows for higher flexural, compressive, and tensile strength than traditional concrete, resulting in a lightweight yet exceptionally durable material.
FRC can be cast into thin, elegant structures in a wide range of shapes, colours, and textures — making it ideal for furniture that's both beautiful and built to last.
Natural Characteristics
Like natural stone or timber, fibre-reinforced concrete features unique textures and tonal qualities. Air pockets, subtle colour variation, and natural patina are distinctive qualities that make each piece one of a kind. At CONCREA, we celebrate these characteristics — they're what give concrete its honest, authentic beauty.
Benefits of Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Indoor & Outdoor
Suitable for both interior living spaces and exterior areas — terraces, gardens, alfresco dining, and pool decks.
Crack Resistant
Fibre reinforcement makes FRC significantly more resistant to cracking than traditional concrete products.
Integral Colour
Pigment is mixed directly into the concrete — not painted on. The colour is part of the material itself, ensuring lasting beauty.
Lightweight
Lighter than traditional concrete, making pieces easier to deliver, install, and reposition within your space.
Stain Protected
We apply high-quality, UV-stable sealers to protect surfaces from staining and scratching. Low maintenance, long lasting.
Versatile Forms
FRC can be cast into complex shapes — from simple rectangular tables to sculptural curves and intricate architectural details.
Our Concrete Colours
We create our range of concrete colours by mixing oxide pigment directly into the concrete mix. Each colour has been carefully developed to complement a wide range of interior and exterior palettes. Custom colours are available on request for project orders.

Durability
CONCREA furniture is built to last. Our high-quality sealant protects surfaces from stains, scratches, and UV damage. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, each piece is designed to withstand everyday use while retaining its character.
Maintenance
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Wipe spills promptly — while the sealant provides excellent protection, prolonged contact with acidic substances should be avoided. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Patina
Over time, your concrete piece will develop a natural patina that enhances its character and beauty. This is a feature, not a flaw — it's part of what makes concrete such a special material for furniture.
