Render mesh reinforces plastering and render systems. It is incorporated into the base coat to enhance surface integrity, increase tensile strength, and reduce the risk of impact cracks.
Fibreglass rendering mesh is a lightweight, flexible material woven from glass fibres. It is used within render layers to improve stability and mechanical strength. By distributing stress and movement, fibreglass mesh maintains a smooth and consistent finish across large or uneven surfaces.
Render mesh benefits structures in many ways, such as:
Alkali-resistant render mesh is a special type of reinforcing fabric used in wall finishes. The mesh is embedded within plaster, render, or cement layers to stop cracks from forming.
To make it alkali-resistant, it is treated to withstand the strong chemicals (called alkalis) found in cement and lime mixes.
Expandable mesh lath is created by slitting and stretching metal sheets to form a diamond-like mesh that securely grips plaster or render. Two metals commonly used to make the product are stainless steel and galvanised steel.
Rib lath mesh is an expanded metal sheet featuring raised ribs that enhance rigidity and strength. Manufactured from galvanised or stainless steel, it is ideal where direct plastering is not suitable.
