Alkaline Resistant Render Mesh

Alkaline resistant render mesh is designed to strengthen plaster and render systems, reducing cracking and improving durability on both internal and external surfaces.

Alkaline Resistant Render Mesh Specifications

What is render mesh used for?

Render mesh is embedded into base coats of plaster or render to reinforce the surface. It helps distribute stress evenly, preventing cracks caused by movement, shrinkage, or impact.

• Reinforces plaster and render systems
• Reduces cracking and surface failure
• Improves impact resistance
• Ideal for high-stress or large surface areas

Where should you use plastering mesh?

This type of mesh is commonly used in both internal and external applications where extra strength is needed:

• External render systems (EWI systems)
• Plasterboard joints and weak points
• Over insulation boards
• Areas prone to movement or cracking

Why choose alkaline resistant mesh?

Standard mesh can break down when exposed to cement-based materials. Alkaline resistant render mesh is specially coated to withstand these conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance within render and plaster systems.

• Resistant to cement and lime-based renders
• Maintains strength over time
• Prevents premature failure within the system

What does alkaline resistant render mesh do?

Alkaline resistant render mesh reinforces render and plaster systems by helping control cracking, improving strength, and supporting long-term durability. It is especially useful on surfaces where movement, shrinkage, or uneven backgrounds could cause failure in the finish.

Supplied for larger trade jobs

Our alkaline resistant render mesh is suited to larger plastering and rendering jobs where reliable reinforcement is needed across wider areas. With a full 1m x 50m roll size, it offers practical coverage for trade use while helping maintain consistency across the job.
