For instance, stress patches measuring 300mm x 200mm can be cut from the roll and placed at a 45-degree angle to each corner of an opening. These areas, especially in traditional sand and cement applications, are prone to cracking. Adding a stress patch helps keep the system crack-free over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using Fibreglass Mesh, make sure each strip overlaps the previous one during embedding in the basecoat adhesive or premium adhesive. A black marker on the mesh indicates the required overlap. For areas needing extra reinforcement, you can apply a double layer of mesh. First, embed vertical strips of mesh, then apply a second layer at a 90-degree angle to the first. This may require a slightly thicker basecoat layer, about 8mm instead of the usual 6mm, to accommodate both layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the primary use of Fibreglass Mesh is within the basecoat layer of render or EWI systems, it can also be used to bridge cracks both internally and externally, and to provide additional strength to floor screeds and plastered ceilings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mesh is coated with acrylic acid copolymer liquid, making it resistant to water, alkali, and aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength: 50m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWidth: 1m\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArea per roll: 50m²\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: 160g\/m²\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColour: white\/red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand: LBS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large tw-ta\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/0455\/7012\/files\/5.Licatherm-mesh-160-EN-1.pdf?v=1657275980\" title=\"render-mesh\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en\" class=\"Y2IQFc\"\u003eTechnical Data Sheet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Licata Building Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53620977566081,"sku":"LBS.WHITE.MESH-1","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/0455\/7012\/products\/whitemesh.jpg?v=1662630359"},{"product_id":"pvc-render-corner-bead-with-mesh-2-5m-box-of-50","title":"PVC Render Corner Bead with Mesh (2.5m) - BOX OF 50","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePVC Corner Bead with Mesh (2.5m)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e6mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Corner Bead has excess mesh, which is used to promote durability around corners.
