Do You Know Fiberglass Plaster Mesh Uses?

Fiberglass Plaster meshes suitable for a wide range of applications within the context of building conservation, as well as contemporary plaster/render needs.

It is Widely used to reinforce walls, roofs, flooring and wherever insulation board is installed. It can also be used to reinforce cement, plaster, bitumen, plastics, marble and mosaic. 

Meshes are especially useful on high suction substrates such as Cob, Chalk, Brick and Rubble Walls.

Glass fibre mesh fabrics are not only an important part of façade systems, but also interior plastering, because they prevent cracks and reduce the risk of mechanical damage to the surface. They are woven in what is called a Leno weave (a weave in which two warp yarns are twisted around the weft yarns to provide a strong yet sheer fabric) and typically referred to as meshes. The meshes are coated with an alkali resistant layer to protect the mesh during drying of the render.

Mesh fabrics are an effective, customized solution for the prevention of cracks that form in render which are induced by construction techniques, temperature changes and curing stresses. They can also be used for a wide range of repair applications, for example to bridge / cover any existing damage to wall surface.

While using mesh will mitigate many of the core issues to provide durable and appropriate renders, they do not negate the need for best practice such as good curing.

Width is 1m. Lengths are available as 50m rolls or cut to length in 1m increments (add required length to basket and we will cut as one piece.
