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.
Why Use Plaster Mesh (Steel)?
- Reinforcement for Plaster – Prevents cracking by providing a strong base.
- Durable and Rust-Resistant – Galvanized steel ensures long-term use.
- Lightweight – Easy to handle and install.
- Flexible – Can be molded to different surfaces.
- Ideal for High-Stress Areas – Excellent for areas prone to movement or vibration.
Common Uses
- Wall Reinforcement – Used in both interior and exterior plastering for additional strength.
- Ceiling Support – Helps support plaster on ceilings.
- Protects Against Cracks – Suitable for areas where cracking is a concern.
