When do you need reinforcing mesh?
Reinforcing mesh is a fabric made from a wide range of materials such as jute, fibreglass mesh or plastic. Render mesh helps you create a stable, even and level coat of render or plaster for both interior and exterior applications.
By embedding reinforcing mesh into plastered/rendered surfaces on ceilings, walls and façades, these areas gain additional strength and are protected and stabilised. In housebuilding, reinforcing mesh is especially used when installing external wall insulation systems (EWI). Alternatively, render mesh is also used indoors, for example when re-tiling timber floors.
Reinforcing mesh is also ideal for repairing defects such as cracks in render, for instance around corners of window and door openings. It helps achieve smooth, even surfaces, improves damage such as on old render, and prevents future stress cracking.
Which render mesh should you choose?
A distinction is made between reinforcing mesh for indoor or outdoor use. For damp render, an alkali- and acid-resistant reinforcing mesh is recommended. Mesh size also plays an important role when choosing render mesh. As standard, reinforcing meshes with a mesh size between 4 x 4 mm and 10 x 10 mm are preferred.
The choice of material depends on the requirements for reinforcement and the conditions in which it will be used. Fibreglass reinforcing mesh is characterised by tear resistance, weather resistance and alkali resistance. In addition, the mesh is free from plasticisers and is resistant to alcohol, slipping and water.
