Fiberglass Mesh for Concrete

Reinforcing Surface Mortars

Fiberglass mesh is widely used for surface coatings such as insulation, waterproofing, and repairs with various materials applied in different structural components. These materials are typically applied in two or more layers on surfaces and have a specific lifespan. Over time, they can weaken or deteriorate due to environmental factors. Modern technologies allow for the reinforcement of surface insulations, similar to reinforced concrete, enhancing durability and quality. One such modern product for reinforcing surface coatings is fiberglass mesh. It is a composite mesh made from glass fibers combined with polymer base materials, which serve as stabilizers for the polymer materials. The fiberglass mesh reinforces various insulation and waterproof coatings on surfaces such as swimming pools, reservoirs, concrete surfaces, and roofs. Due to the unique design of the fiberglass mesh, it has a high resistance to hydraulic pressure, making it highly suitable for strengthening and stabilizing structures. The lifespan of fiberglass mesh corresponds to the lifespan of the materials it reinforces, and it can be used at all stages of construction. Fiberglass mesh significantly increases tensile, compressive, and bending strengths, and it can easily cover hard-to-reach corners and edges. Due to this special property, it plays a crucial role in the application of waterproofing materials in areas such as the junctions of the walls and floor of a pool.

In general, fiberglass mesh is a type of glass fiber used in a woven form. Its application across various industries requires properties such as mechanical strength, heat resistance, electrical insulation, and other favorable physical and chemical characteristics. This mesh is commonly used as a reinforcement for building frameworks.

Mechanism of Action of Fiberglass Mesh

What effect does fiberglass mesh have on surface coatings?

Fiberglass mesh acts like a grid with square openings, placed between two layers of surface coatings and mortar, providing reinforcement to the surface layer. Fiberglass mesh is produced in various weights and grid sizes, with each type being suitable for different applications.

Properties and Effects of Fiberglass Mesh

What features does fiberglass mesh offer?

• High strength at various temperatures
• Long lifespan, equal to the lifespan of the reinforced structure
• Low thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity
• Maintains desired mechanical strength in moist environments
• Strong electrical insulation with excellent tensile strength and elasticity
• High chemical durability against acids and bases
• Excellent heat resistance
• Non-flammable due to its inorganic nature
• Resistant to fungi, bacteria, and pests due to its inability to absorb moisture (though it may swell without stretching)

Consumption of Fiberglass Mesh

How much fiberglass mesh is required?

The amount of fiberglass mesh used depends on the area that needs coverage.

Method of Using Fiberglass Mesh

How is fiberglass mesh used?

• As a Middle Layer: First, apply the first layer of insulation, and before it fully hardens (when it is still tacky to the surface), place the mesh on the surface and then apply the second layer.
• As a Bottom Layer: Place the fiberglass mesh on the surface and apply the desired insulation over it.

Safety of Fiberglass Mesh

Is fiberglass mesh dangerous?

Fiberglass mesh is not toxic or hazardous to humans or the environment. However, when using it, it is recommended to wear goggles and gloves.
