Mesh

What is fiberglass mesh used for in a coating?

Fiberglass mesh is embedded between mortar layers to reinforce the surface and prevent cracks. The category groups 16 products: 11 meshes from 45 to 330 g/m², a veil, a self-adhesive tape and the anchors and staples to fix them. All the meshes in the catalog come in rolls 1 m wide (1.1 m for some).

Frequently asked questions

Which mesh is used with ESTonetex TXT and ESTonetex Park?

The catalog lists the EST-Mesh 80 g/m² and the 110 g/m² mesh as ideal for ESTonetex TXT and ESTonetex Park mortars: they help reinforce the surface and prevent cracks.

Which mesh is used in ETICS/SATE or over polystyrene?

The 145 and 160 g/m² meshes (Tramaglass 145, 160 SATE and Tramaglass 160) are intended for mortars and renders with fine aggregates, ETICS systems and applications over EPS and XPS. With ESTonetex Fibrax no fiberglass mesh is needed, according to the catalog.

Which mesh is used to build artificial rock and waterfalls?

The 220 and 330 g/m² meshes are used as a covering for iron-rod structures when creating artificial rock and waterfalls.

How is the mesh fixed to the structure?

With LTX-70 fixing anchors (to fix meshes on low-adhesion surfaces or to anchor EPS/XPS boards) or with ring staples: RT-C23 for the pneumatic stapler and A20 for the manual stapler.
