Concrete Cloth

Ladies and Gentlemen, Please welcome a brand new avatar of our most adored building material of the 20th century,The Cement Concrete, infused into fabric which is easily transportable, highly reliable and durable, fire-proof and water-proof!

Do we need anything more?! No.. I certainly don’t think so!

Like the 2-minute noodles, we here have the 2-hour habitable and safe structures! All you need to do is: wrap/fold it up in any shape/size and add water. Leave it to absorb water for 2 hours..tada!!
Your structure is all set and ready to be occupied!

Concrete Canvas, a UK-based company won the award Material of the year 2009- by Material Connexion for their innovative creation of a fabric that is concrete-infused, cement layered between fabric, that can bond with water, backed with PVC.

The fabric can be set to any shape or form, then allowed to absorb the water, causing it to set after 2 hours. The material can be used structurally. It is also a fireproof and a waterproof fabric which turns this as an excellent choice of material for disaster relief, military and commercial environments.
