Mesh Tramaglass 145 gr

Applications

•  Reinforcement of mortars, renders and fine-aggregate mortars, indoors and outdoors

•  ETICS systems and applications on EPS and XPS polystyrene

•  Thin-layer coatings: gypsum plasters, renders with fine mortars, clay and lime mortars and adhesive mortars

•  Reinforcement of microcements (follow the manufacturer's instructions)

•  Prevention of cracks and fissures in walls and surfaces

Technical specifications

Data from the ESTecha 2026 catalogue and the product's previous data sheet. Full technical documentation is available on request through the contact form.

Which mortars is it used with?

It is suitable for clay mortars, gypsum plasters, lime mortars, microcements, adhesive mortars and ETICS system mortars, that is, for fine-aggregate mortars. In the ESTonetex System, the ESTonetex Forte adhesion method on EPS/XPS involves embedding a fibreglass mesh in the mortar itself, and the technical data sheet of Art Rock FI recommends a 145 or 160 g/m² mesh in the first 2-5 mm of thickness. With ESTonetex Fibrax, no fibreglass mesh is needed on the polystyrene. For the thixotropic mortars TXT and Park, the ideal mesh is EST-Mesh 80 g/m².

How is it installed?

It is laid in the first coat of mortar while it is still fresh and fully covered with mortar; another coat is then applied on top, or the surface is scored before the material dries. On decorative figures or polystyrene (EPS) sculptures, the mesh is anchored with staples or galvanised wire to secure it. It is advisable to pre-cut the mesh into pieces so that it is easier to install.

Observations and precautions

The mesh must be completely covered by the mortar. For microcements, follow the microcement manufacturer's instructions. Professional-use material.

Storage

Store in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Complementary materials

•  ESTonetex Forte: thin-layer mortar whose adhesion method on EPS/XPS includes a fibreglass mesh

•  Art Rock FI: thin-layer mortar whose technical data sheet recommends a 145 or 160 g/m² mesh in the first 2-5 mm

•  160 g/m² mesh for ETICS: mesh with the same indication and a higher weight

•  EST-Mesh 80 g/m²: ideal mesh for TXT, Park and coarse-aggregate mortars

Frequently asked questions

What is the Tramaglass 145 g/m² mesh used for?
To reinforce mortars, renders and fine-aggregate mortars, in ETICS systems and in applications on EPS and XPS polystyrene, and to prevent the appearance of cracks and fissures.

How many square metres does a roll cover?
Each roll is 50 m long by 1 m wide, i.e. 50 m². The area actually covered depends on the overlaps and cut-offs on each job.

What is the difference between this mesh and the other meshes in the range?
The weight, roll format and application differ. The 145 g/m² mesh (4 x 4.5 mm mesh size) and the 160 g/m² mesh for ETICS (50 m x 1 m) are intended for ETICS systems and applications on EPS and XPS with fine-aggregate mortars; the 160 g/m² one has the higher weight of the two. EST-Mesh 80 g/m² (80 g/m², 50 m x 1 m roll, 10 x 10 mm mesh size) is intended for mortars, renders and coarse-aggregate mortars, and is the ideal one for TXT and Park; the catalogue also includes a 110 g/m² mesh with the same indication. The 330 g/m² mesh (25 m x 1 m roll) is used to cover iron-rod structures in artificial rocks and waterfalls and as reinforcement in the lower areas of walls and façades. The 45 g/m² fibreglass tissue reinforces surfaces coated with stucco, filler or paint and repairs existing cracks.

Which mortars use the 145 g/m² mesh?
Fine-aggregate ones: clay mortars, gypsum plasters, lime mortars, microcements, adhesive mortars and ETICS system mortars. For TXT and Park mortars, the EST-Mesh 80 g/m² mesh is recommended.

How is it fixed on polystyrene (EPS) figures or sculptures?
It is anchored with staples or galvanised wire to secure it, and then fully covered with the mortar.

Is this mesh needed with ESTonetex Fibrax?
No. ESTonetex Fibrax is a super-fibre primer that avoids the need for fibreglass mesh on polystyrene. With ESTonetex Forte, however, the adhesion method on EPS/XPS does include mesh.

When is the mesh installed and how should it end up?
It is laid in the first coat of mortar while it is still fresh and must be fully covered. Another coat is then applied on top, or the surface is scored before the material dries.
