Overview
Fibreglass reinforcing fabric is widely used to reinforce walls, natural marble, plasterboard, artificial stone and exterior insulation finishing systems. It is also used to renovate building surfaces.
The fabric is woven from pure glass textile fibres and is highly resistant to alkali.
ApplicationInternal and external plaster, renovation and repair.
- Reinforces all types of plaster, applied internally or externally.
- For load-bearing construction, general renovation and repair work.
- Helps prevent cracks in plastering.
- A reinforcing base for gypsum or timber surfaces.
- Non-corrosive, with low elongation.
- Installs without hammering or nailing, and bonds well with all types of plaster.
