Arstech ARS100123 Orange Plaster Mesh 100 cm x 50 m – 160 gr/m² (1 Roll / 50 m²)

Arstech Orange ARS100123 Plaster Mesh 100 cm x 50 m – 160 gr/m² (1 roll 50M2)

Arstech Orange ARS100123 Plaster Mesh is a high-quality reinforcement material used in the construction and insulation sectors to increase the durability and crack resistance of plaster applications. With a density of 160 gr/m² and a roll length of 50 meters, it is designed to achieve professional results over large surfaces.

User Information and Application Area

This mesh is considered an indispensable component, especially for thermal insulation systems (external rendering/cladding).

Target Users:

External Rendering and Facade Application Masters: To prevent cracks when applying plaster over thermal insulation boards.

Construction Contractors and Shell Construction Teams: To increase the strength of interior and exterior plasters of newly built buildings.

Renovation and Restoration Teams: For reinforcement in the repair of old plasters or at critical points where different materials meet.

Primary Function: To provide high tensile strength and strain resistance to the applied plaster layer. Its main purpose is to prevent potential crack formation due to temperature changes, structural movements, or impacts, ensuring the longevity of the plaster.

Application Areas:

Thermal Insulation Systems (External Rendering): Embedded in the first layer of binder plaster applied over insulation boards (EPS, XPS, rock wool, etc.), it becomes the main carrier of the facade system.

Critical Areas: Points where different building materials meet (e.g., combination of brick and concrete), door and window corners, which are areas of concentrated stress.

Floor Screeds and Waterproofing: In some applications, for reinforcing floor screeds or waterproofing layers.

Sectors Used

Plaster mesh is one of the fundamental materials in the construction sector, as it directly affects the quality and durability of structures:

Thermal Insulation and Energy Efficiency: The most common area of use in Turkey, as external rendering applications have become mandatory.

Construction and Facade Systems: Crack-preventing reinforcement in both interior and exterior plaster applications.

Restoration and Conservation: To preserve structural integrity in the repair of plaster and mortar in old buildings or historical structures.

Prefabricated Building Systems: To provide flexibility in plastering joints between panels.

Material Properties and Technical Details

Material (Fiberglass/Alkali-Resistant Glass Fiber):

The mesh is woven from high-quality glass fiber (fiberglass). Its most critical feature is its resistance to alkaline (basic) environments such as cement and mortar. This durability is achieved by protecting the glass fiber forming the mesh with a special alkali-resistant (AR) coating. Without this coating, the mesh would dissolve in the plaster over time and lose its function.

Density (160 gr/m²):

This density is the most recommended heavy-duty density for external rendering systems according to Turkish and European standards. High density provides higher tensile strength and stronger protection against cracks.

Dimensions (100 cm x 50 m):

Width (100 cm / 1 meter): Standard application width, requires easy laying and minimum overlap.

Length (50 m): Standard length of a roll, increases application efficiency.

Color (Orange): Used to indicate the grammage or quality/standard of the product (e.g., 160 gr/m² meshes may be in a specific color). It also allows for easy distinction of the material on the construction site.

Structural Feature: The woven structure typically has square or rectangular mesh openings. These openings allow the plaster to penetrate the mesh, creating a complete anchorage (grip).

Arstech ARS100123 Orange Plaster Mesh, with its high grammage and alkali-resistant fiberglass structure, is a reliable reinforcement material that helps structures maintain their durability and aesthetics for many years by minimizing the risk of cracking in applied plaster systems.
