Detailed Product Description
Our Anti-Cracking Fiberglass Plaster Mesh is woven from continuous alkali-resistant fiberglass strands and coated with a special polymer emulsion to enhance durability. The 160g/m² weight offers optimal balance between flexibility and strength, making it suitable for both interior and exterior applications. When embedded in thin-set mortar or plaster, the mesh acts as a reinforcement layer that distributes stress and prevents crack propagation. This is especially critical for tile backing systems (e.g., cement backer boards, shower walls, floors) where differential movement can cause tile or grout cracks. Additionally, in concrete slabs and walls, the mesh helps control shrinkage and thermal cracking, extending the lifespan of the structure.
Advantages over standard mesh: Our 160g version provides higher tensile strength compared to lighter meshes (e.g., 110g or 145g), yet remains easy to handle. It is compatible with Portland cement, thin-set adhesives, and self-leveling compounds. The open weave allows for air release and prevents blisters. We also offer customization in mesh size, roll dimensions, and packaging, ensuring you get exactly what your project needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main purpose of this 160g fiberglass mesh?
This mesh is designed to reinforce plaster, concrete, and tile backing systems, preventing cracks caused by stress, shrinkage, or movement. It is commonly used in walls, floors, and exterior insulation systems.
2. Can this mesh be used outdoors?
Yes, the alkali-resistant coating makes it suitable for exterior applications, including stucco reinforcement and concrete repair. However, we recommend checking specific environmental conditions and consulting with our technical team for extreme climates.
3. What mesh size is standard for this product?
The standard mesh size is 4mm x 4mm (square opening). We can also produce 5mm x 5mm or other sizes based on your requirements. Please specify when ordering.
4. How do I install the mesh properly?
Embed the mesh into the wet mortar or plaster, ensuring full coverage. Overlap adjacent sheets by at least 5-10 cm. For tile backing, press the mesh into the thin-set before tiling. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
5. Is this product compatible with all types of cement?
Yes, it works with ordinary Portland cement, white cement, thin-set mortars, and self-leveling compounds. The alkali-resistant coating protects the fiberglass from chemical attack in alkaline environments.
6. Do you offer custom roll lengths and widths?
Absolutely. We can cut rolls to any length from 25m to 200m, and widths from 0.5m to 2m. Custom packaging is also available. Contact us with your specific needs.
7. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our standard MOQ is 100 rolls, but we can accommodate smaller trial orders for new customers. Please inquire for details.
8. Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes, we provide free samples (shipping cost may apply). You can request a sample via our website or by contacting our sales team.
