Fibreglass Rendering Mesh

Choosing the right mesh for your plaster or render is important to ensure the right level of protection and reinforcement for your project.

Each rendering project has its own requirements for humidity, weather exposure, mechanical stress and a range of other factors.

Licata’s mesh products are developed and tested in our Research and Development lab and conform to the highest quality and safety standards.

Application

After installing insulation boards and letting the adhesive dry, smooth and cover the reinforcing mesh with Licata finish or Licata coat smoothing products, using a metal spatula trowel to apply.

Starting from the top and working to the bottom, insert and submerge the Licata Reinforcing Mesh, overlapping each strip with the subsequent one by at least 10cm. Let dry for at least 2 days, then apply a second coat of Licata finish or Licata coat smoothing products.

Note: at the edges, stretch the glass fibre mesh over the entire wall and at openings like doors and windows, submerging it in the mortar. Run along the edges with a sharp knife, cutting the mesh at an angle of 45°.

Key Features Of Fibreglass Rendering Mesh Roll

This fibreglass rendering mesh roll offers reliable reinforcement for render systems and external wall insulation systems, helping to reinforce walls and prevent cracking across a wide range of surfaces. It is designed for projects that demand high quality mesh with consistent strength and controlled mesh aperture.

Key features include:

• Alkali resistant material: The fibreglass mesh is coated to handle cement based products without degrading.
• High tensile strength: The woven fiberglass structure provides incredible strength while remaining flexible during installation.
• Suitable for external render and internal plasters: The mesh can stabilise unstable surfaces and support areas of traditional weakness around openings.

These features support long term performance, helping the reinforcing mesh remain stable across changing temperature conditions and day to day movement in walls.

How To Install Fibreglass Rendering Mesh Roll

Start by applying the first pass of adhesive or base coat, then embed the fibreglass mesh while the surface is still wet. This helps the mesh sit firmly within the layer and hold its position during drying.

Continue working from the top of the wall to the bottom, embedding each mesh roll section with an overlap of around ten centimetres. Keeping the mesh in the middle of the base coat layer helps reinforce plasters and render while limiting cracking from shrinkage or temperature changes. Take care around edges and openings such as windows to maintain strength where movement is more common.

A second pass is typically applied after the first layer dries. This creates a smooth finish and supports the mesh as part of a continuous system. When installed correctly, the material performs well across different substrates and can be used for external wall insulation, internal partitions and general render reinforcement.

Benefits Of Using Fibreglass Mesh In Render Systems

Installing fibreglass rendering mesh provides dependable reinforcement for both external render and internal surfaces, helping to create a stable layer that limits cracking. It supports walls by distributing pressure across the entire area, especially in properties that face regular movement or temperature shifts.

Benefits include

• Improved reinforcement: The fibre mesh helps stabilise unstable surfaces and supports key points such as windows, doors and edges.
• Smooth and consistent finish: When embedded in the base coat, the mesh helps the render cover evenly across the full square meter area.
• Versatile application: Suitable for EWI systems, cement based render and plasters, with practical weight and length options supplied in convenient roll format.
