Mesh for walls, corners
Reinforcing glass mesh is an excellent reinforcing element for finishing walls with plaster and is used for levelling walls inside and outside the building. When insulating walls with foam plastic or extruded polystyrene boards, you can't do without reinforcing mesh, as there will be no adhesion between the mortar and the insulation material, and our fiberglass mesh corrects this situation. Also, when plastering corners of premises, a special corner reinforcing mesh (made of glass fibre) is used.
Our fibreglass mesh has an advantage over plastic mesh, as it is much stronger and can withstand higher tensile loads.
All the key characteristics of fibreglass mesh depend on its surface density - it is the density which determines the reliability and strength of the material. The density of reinforcement mesh is measured in grams per square metre - the higher the value, the stronger the plaster reinforcement.
Fiberglass mesh is divided into three groups according to this parameter:
- for interior finishing. The density of this material is 50÷160 g/m². This type is further subdivided into a plaster mesh and a painting mesh. Painting meshes have a lower density and mesh sizes 3 × 3; 2.5 × 2.5; 2 × 2 mm.
Plastering mesh is produced with a mesh size of 5 × 5 mm or more and has a higher density.
- for facade and other exterior applications. The material has a density of 160÷220 g/m² and is used for plastering and filler work in exterior applications. Its cells are usually 5 x 5 or 10 x 10 mm.
- for basement and underground parts of buildings. The density of this group of materials is 220-300 g/m² - antivandal resistant reinforced meshes that can withstand heavy loads and extreme conditions. This group of materials has a higher price as they require significantly more raw materials in the production process.
