VITCAS Glass Fibre Mesh is a versatile construction fabric coated with acrylic resin. Known for its water resistance, alkali resistance, and ageing resistance, it is suitable for both internal and externalapplications. This mesh provides excellent reinforcement for concrete, plaster, and renders, helping to prevent cracking caused by structural movement and environmental stress. Available in rolls, it can be used as reinforcement for HB60 Adhesive or Vitcas Heat Resistant Plaster. Size: Mesh 5x5mm; 1m width.
Benefits
Waterproof and Alkali Resistant: The acrylic coating makes the mesh resistant to moisture and alkaline substances, enhancing its durability in construction settings.
Flexible: The mesh's elasticity allows it to adapt to surfaces subject to movement, without compromising the structure's integrity.
Tear and Age Resistance: Its robustness ensures it withstands tearing and ageing, offering long-term reinforcement in various applications.
Crack Prevention: Reinforces structures to reduce the occurrence of cracks from thermal expansion, settling, or shrinkage.
Eco-Efficiency: Its glass fibre reinforcement and acrylic acid copolymer liquid composition ensure a high level of durability and performance, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements. Ideal for reinforcing uneven masonry substrates, as it prevents cracking and extends the life of the structure, resulting in less material waste.
Applications
Fireplace Construction: Used with insulation boards and heat accumulation boards, providing structural reinforcement and improving thermal stability in fireplace construction.
Insulation Systems: Integral to external wall insulation systems, preventing cracks in renders and enhancing structural durability.
Plaster and Concrete Reinforcement: Strengthens plaster, screeds, and concrete in high-stress environments to prevent cracking.
Tile Adhesive and Mosaic Reinforcement: Ensures stability in tile adhesives and mosaic applications, preventing movement and damage over time.
GRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete): Strengthens GRC structures, improving longevity and performance in precast concrete and architectural panels.
Hi can this glass fibre mesh be used for caravan roller blinds. Thanks
Glass Fibre Mesh is intended primarily for use in fireplaces, stoves and other high temperature applications.
Please what is the weight s m of this mat?
Thank you
It weighs approx. 7 kg.
Is this product sticky so it will stick onto wood
Generally, fiberglass mesh does not go onto wood because it is rated for high temperature applications. But no, it is not self adhesive, when used on pizza ovens, it is stuck using ceramic fibre adhesive.
can i paint it ?
Yes, you could paint it with heat resistant spray paint.
Can this glass fibre mesh can be used for skim coat please
How does this mesh help prevent cracks in plaster?
Answer
The glass fibre mesh reinforces plaster and render, helping to distribute stresses caused by thermal expansion, settlement, shrinkage and structural movement. Its flexible acrylic-coated construction allows it to adapt to movement while supporting the surrounding material. It should be incorporated into a suitable plaster or adhesive system rather than applied as a standalone surface covering.
Question
Can this glass fibre mesh be used outdoors?
Answer
Yes. The mesh is suitable for both internal and external applications. Its acrylic resin coating provides resistance to moisture, alkaline substances and ageing, making it suitable for reinforcing external renders and insulation finishing systems. The surrounding adhesive, plaster or render must also be appropriate for the substrate and the installation conditions.
Question
Is the mesh suitable for fireplace construction?
Answer
Yes. VITCAS Glass Fibre Mesh can reinforce systems incorporating insulation boards and heat accumulation boards in fireplace construction. It helps strengthen the applied adhesive or plaster and reduce cracking caused by movement or drying. The mesh itself does not replace the correct boards, adhesives or heat-resistant finishing materials required for the fireplace system.
Question
Can it be used with VITCAS HB60 and HRP Heat Resistant Plaster?
Answer
Yes. The mesh is specifically suitable for reinforcing VITCAS HB60 Adhesive and VITCAS HRP Heat Resistant Plaster. It provides structural support within the applied material and helps reduce cracking as the system dries or experiences movement. Ensure the selected adhesive or plaster is suitable for the boards, masonry or other substrate being covered.
Question
Can this mesh reinforce concrete and screed applications?
Answer
The mesh is suitable for reinforcing concrete, screeds and plaster in applications where additional resistance to cracking is required. It can help manage stresses caused by movement, settling or shrinkage. Suitability still depends on the construction system, substrate and installation design, so project-specific structural requirements should be confirmed before use.
Question
Is the mesh suitable for tile adhesive and mosaics?
Answer
Yes. It can be used to reinforce tile adhesive and mosaic applications, helping to improve stability and reduce damage caused by movement. The mesh must be used as part of a compatible adhesive system and is not a substitute for correct substrate preparation. Confirm that the chosen adhesive is suitable for the tiles, surface and service conditions.
