2.External
and internal plaster reinforcement
Alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh cloth is widely used to reinforce
exposed areas of external and internal plaster (wall joints,
windows and door corners and the channels for water or gas pipes
and electrical wiring).
Another circumstance in which mesh cloth can be used is when
two materials with different coefficients of expansion meet
one other. In this case there is a risk that the plaster coat
will crack. In order to absorb the tension, it is recommended
that a strip of fiberglass mesh be applied over the joint.
Remarks:
Two mesh belts should overlap by 10 CM (minimum) on each side.
The mesh should be placed at least 2 to 3 MM under plaster surface.
Walls with channels for electrical
wires
Two different materials joint
(wall made of lightweight material - concrete wall)
