Plaster Mesh (Steel)
Overview
Plaster mesh (steel) is an essential component used in construction for reinforcement in plastering applications. This material is designed to strengthen the plaster layer by preventing cracking and providing additional support. Made from galvanized steel, it is durable, rust-resistant, and effective for both interior and exterior plastering projects.
