Alkali-Resistant Fiberglass Mesh 160g/m² 5x5mm Mesh 1300N/50mm for Exterior Wall Systems
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer from Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd in Hengshui, Hebei, China, we are proud to present our Alkali-Resistant Fiberglass Mesh 160g/m² 5x5mm Mesh 1300N/50mm – a premium reinforcement solution specifically designed for exterior wall systems. Our factory has been dedicated to the production of wire mesh products for years, combining advanced weaving technology with strict quality control to deliver consistent, high-performance mesh that meets the demands of modern construction. This product is engineered to provide superior tensile strength, excellent alkali resistance, and long-term durability in cement-based environments, making it an ideal choice for building facades, insulation systems, and plaster reinforcement.
The mesh weight of 160g/m² ensures a balanced combination of flexibility and strength, while the 5mm × 5mm aperture size offers optimal bonding with mortar or plaster. With a remarkable tensile strength of 1300 N/50mm, this mesh can withstand the stresses of external wall systems without deformation or tearing. Whether you are constructing a new building or renovating an existing one, our fiberglass mesh provides reliable reinforcement that helps prevent cracks, improve impact resistance, and extend the lifespan of the finished surface.

- Excellent Alkali Resistance: Special coating and AR glass yarn ensure the mesh remains stable in alkaline cement environments, preventing chemical degradation that can cause premature failure.
- High Tensile Strength (1300 N/50mm): The strong woven structure delivers consistent reinforcement, distributing stress and reducing the risk of cracking on exterior walls.
- Optimal Mesh Size (5mm×5mm): The 5x5mm aperture allows for proper mortar penetration, ensuring a strong mechanical bond between the mesh and the base layer.
- Lightweight yet Durable: At 160g/m², the mesh is easy to handle, cut, and install without sacrificing strength or longevity.
- Customizable Dimensions: We offer flexible roll widths and lengths to match your project requirements, reducing waste and installation time.
- Consistent Quality: Our production line is equipped with precise tension control and automatic inspection systems, ensuring uniform mesh openings and stable tensile strength across every roll.
Our Alkali-Resistant Fiberglass Mesh is widely used in exterior wall thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), as well as for reinforcing concrete, plaster, and mortar in both residential and commercial buildings. It is suitable for new construction, renovation, and retrofitting projects where long-term durability and crack resistance are critical. The mesh can also be used for marble backing, mosaic reinforcement, and interior drywall corner joints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How does alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh prevent cracks in exterior walls?
The mesh is embedded in the base coat of the wall system, where it absorbs tensile stresses caused by temperature changes, settling, or material shrinkage. The high tensile strength (1300 N/50mm) and the 5x5mm grid structure distribute these forces evenly, minimizing the formation of cracks.
Q2: What is the difference between 160g/m² and lighter weight meshes?
160g/m² is a standard weight for exterior wall applications, offering a good balance between flexibility and strength. Lighter meshes (e.g., 75g/m²) are suitable for indoor use, while heavier meshes (e.g., 300g/m²) are used for high-impact areas. For exterior insulation systems, 160g/m² is recommended for reliable performance.
Q3: Can this mesh be used in areas with high seismic activity?
Yes, the mesh's flexibility and high tensile strength make it suitable for seismic zones. It helps maintain the integrity of the wall system during ground movement. However, we recommend consulting a structural engineer for specific seismic requirements.
Q4: Is the mesh resistant to UV radiation?
The mesh is typically coated with acrylic or PVC, which provides some UV resistance during storage and installation. However, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods before covering with plaster or render. Once embedded, it is fully protected from UV.
Q5: What is the roll length available for this product?
Standard roll length is 50m. We can also produce custom lengths up to 100m per roll, depending on your order quantity. Please contact us for details.
Q6: How do I install this fiberglass mesh correctly?
First, apply a base coat of adhesive mortar to the wall. Then embed the mesh into the wet mortar, pressing it firmly and overlapping adjacent strips by at least 10cm. After the base coat dries, apply a top coat of render or plaster. Ensure the mesh is fully covered to avoid any exposed edges.
Q7: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
Yes, we offer free samples for evaluation. You only need to cover the shipping cost. Contact our sales team with your address and requirements, and we will arrange the sample as soon as possible.
Q8: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our MOQ for standard products is 1,000 square meters. For custom specifications, the MOQ may vary. We are flexible and can discuss smaller trial orders for new customers.
