Concrete Canvas® is used for a wide range of erosion control and weed suppression applications. It allows concrete construction with minimal plant and specialist training.
Typically ten-times faster to install than conventional solutions, essentially its Concrete on a Roll™: simply unroll and Just Add Water.
WHAT IS CC?
CC consists of a 3-dimensional fibre matrix containing a specially formulated dry cementitious mix. A PVC backing ensures the CC is completely waterproof. CC can be hydrated by spraying or full immersion in fresh or salt water. Once set, the fibres reinforce the cementitious mix, preventing crack propagation and providing a safe plastic failure mode. As a result, CC provides a thin, durable, water proof and lower carbon alternative to traditional concrete.
CC is available in 3 thicknesses: CC5™, CC8™ and CC13™, which are respectively 5, 8 and 13mm thick.

Erosion Control by Concrete Canvas
Concrete Canvas is a fast, convenient and eco-friendly erosion control application that manages and prevents erosion in construction and land developments.
The specially formulated cementitious mix provides a thin, durable, waterproof and low carbon alternative to traditional concrete that minimises damage to communities, plants and wildlife.
Enquire about durable erosion control applications
Concrete Canvas is recognised as a durable, cost-effective and sustainable erosion control application. The flexible canvas protects soil and infrastructure on construction sites in agriculture, natural and urban environments from weather, pollution and chemical damage.
Contact us to speak to us about how we can offer erosion control applications to support your project.
Durable and sustainable solution
Concrete Canvas was developed with longevity and a guarantee of lasting for more than 120 years as an erosion control application. Its strength makes it five times more abrasion resistant than standard concrete, and it withstands all weather conditions and increases soil stability.
Flexible for your project
Concrete Canvas can be tailored to fit the size of the ground profile by using basic hand tools.
Prevents cracking
With a three-dimensional fibre matrix, the strong fibre reinforcement of Concrete Canvas absorbs any impact affecting infrastructure, which prevents cracking and makes it completely safe.
Completely waterproof
Concrete Canvas has a PVC backing that provides a waterproof alternative to traditional concrete, making your infrastructure weather-resistant too.
Environmental benefits of using Concrete Canvas
Planning for erosion is essential for many construction activities. Not only does Concrete Canvas prevents and manages erosion, but it also:
- Protects the environment
- Prevents soil erosion
- Preserves water quality
- Reduces pollution
- Minimises impact from water and weather damage
What sectors benefit from Concrete Canvas erosion control applications?
There’s a reason why Concrete Canvas is used across a variety of sectors for its high-quality and durable erosion applications. Our unique properties and environmental benefits have established Concrete Canvas as a first-choice erosion control solution in many construction projects, including rail, road, public works and more.
Concrete Canvas is BBA certified with durability in excess of 120 years when used in erosion control applications.

Why choose Concrete Canvas for erosion control?
Quick to install
Concrete Canvas can be laid up to 10 times faster than most concrete solutions, making it ideal for projects that require an erosion control application installed quickly.
Easy to use
Concrete Canvas erosion application is easy to use and doesn’t require heavy machinery to install it, only water. Concrete Canvas is also available in man-portable batched rolls for easy transportation.
Cost-effective
The quick and easy installation process makes Concrete Canvas a more cost-effective solution and logistical erosion control solution than conventional concrete.
Eco-friendly
Concrete Canvas uses up to 95% less material than other erosion control applications. A single pallet of Concrete Canvas can cover the same area as two 17T mixer trucks, making it an eco-friendly alternative that produces minimal waste.
What our clients say
Concrete Canvas is one of the most trusted erosion control measures in the world that’s used to control erosion and improve the quality of the landscape in several industries.

CC USER BENEFITS
RAPID INSTALLATION
CC can be laid at a rate of 200m²/hour, up to 10 times faster than conventional concrete solutions.
EASY TO USE
CC requires less plant, less personnel and no on-site mixing or measuring. Just add water. Available in man-portable batched rolls.
LOWER PROJECT COSTS
The speed and ease of installation mean CC is more cost-effective than conventional concrete, with less logistical burden. For example, a single lorry of CC8 can substitute for thirty 17T Mixer Trucks.
ECO-FRIENDLY
CC is a low mass, lower carbon technology which uses up to 95% less material than conventional solutions. A single pallet of CC can cover the same area as two 17T mixer trucks for many applications.
CC KEY PROPERTIES
STRONG
The fibre reinforcement prevents cracking, absorbs energy from impact and provides a stable failure mode.
DURABLE
CC is five-times as abrasion resistant as standard OPC concrete, has excellent chemical resistance, good weathering performance and will not degrade in UV. CC is BBA certified with a durability in excess of 120 years when used in erosion control applications.
FLEXIBLE
CC has good drape characteristics and will closely follow the ground profile and fit around existing infrastructure. Unset CC can be cut or tailored using basic hand tools.
WATERPROOF
The PVC backing ensures the CC is completely waterproof.
FORMATS
CC is available in two standard roll sizes: bulk rolls or smaller, lighter batched rolls. The quantity per roll differs between the CC types as shown in the table below.
CC Type | Thickness (mm) | Roll Width (m) | Mass per Unit Area (kg/m²) | Batched Roll Coverage (m²) | Batched Roll Length (m) | Bulk Roll Coverage (m²) | Bulk Roll Length (m) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CC5 | 5 | 1.0 | 7 | 10 | 10 | 200 | 200 |
