Fiber Glass Mesh for Plastering

The Fiber glass alkaline resistance mesh is based on C- glass woven fabric, and then coated by acrylic acid copolymer liquid, possesses the properties of good alkaline resistance, high strength, good cohesion, excellent in coating etc. It is widely used in wall reinforcement outside wall heat insulation & roof waterproofing. It can also reinforce cement, plastic, bitumen, plaster, marble, mosaic etc. It is an ideal engineering material in construction. Fiberglass alkaline resistance mesh fabric as the basis structure in the heat insulation system. It can prevent cracks because of the good chemical corrosion resistance and high strength of wrap and weft, it can spread stress equally on different directions to avoid transfigure in the heat-insulation system if it is submitted in a large strength; It is also easy to be applied. It is really the soft steel in the outside wall heat preservation system. Fiberglass mesh can be reinforcing and protect stones because of its high strength and balance structure. It can spread the stress equally. In addition, it is easy to be stuck in the back of marble, mosaic and stone. It is an ideal reinforcement for all stone processing factories.

Advantage of using Fiber Mesh

Great chemical and mechanical stability
Fire and alkalinity resistant.
Rust Free, they do not degrade over time, and they are unalterable and tear proof.
High tensile strength, absorbs the expansion caused by extreme temperature changes and the settlement on different parameters, thus preventing cracks in the covering plaster layer.
Easy to install since they are lightweight, quick, and economical.
Due to their flexibility, they can adapt to any surface.

Functions of Fiber Mesh

Reinforcement

The Fiber Glass Mesh reinforces cracks, fissures and the assembly of plaster.

Resistance

Increases the resistance to impact.

Increases

Rendering Mesh increases the integrity of plasters and their finish.

Prevent Cracks And Fissures

The Fiber Glass Mesh provides solution to prevent cracks and fissures in the civil works and construction sector.

Installation

Fiber Glass Mesh is installed after fixing of thermal insulation material to the base surface.
A rough coat of plaster is applied to the insulation material. Works are carried out on small areas, as the mixture tends to harden quickly.
The Fiber Mesh is cut according to required size and put to the non-congealed solution. Next, take a wide spatula, smooth out mesh and press it a bit into the freshly applied plaster.
Wait till the surface with mesh dries well.
During installation of fiber glass mesh, it is necessary to ensure that each strip finds a previous strip with an overlap of 15–20 cm. Otherwise, cracks may appear during operation.
When spackling is completed, one can start applying the finishing layer.
