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. Plaster mesh helps you create a stable, even and smooth coat of plaster for both interior and exterior applications.
By embedding reinforcing mesh into plaster surfaces on ceilings, walls and façades, these areas gain extra strength and are protected and stabilised. In housebuilding, reinforcing mesh is commonly used when installing external wall insulation systems (EWI). Alternatively, plaster mesh is also used indoors, for example when re-tiling wooden floors.
Reinforcing mesh is also ideal for repairing defects such as cracks in plaster, for instance around corners of window and door openings. It helps achieve flat plaster surfaces, improves damaged old plaster and prevents future stress and cracking.
Which plaster mesh should you choose?
A distinction is made between reinforcing mesh for indoor or outdoor use. For damp plaster, an alkali- and acid-resistant reinforcing mesh is recommended. Mesh size is also an important factor when choosing plaster mesh. As a standard, reinforcing meshes with a mesh size between 4 x 4 mm (approx. 0.16 x 0.16 in) and 10 x 10 mm (approx. 0.39 x 0.39 in) 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 high tear resistance, weather resistance and alkali resistance. In addition, the mesh is free from plasticisers and is resistant to alcohol, slipping and water.
