WalAce® Mesh
WalAce® MESH consists of double weave threads, essential for reinforcing the WalAce® EIFS system. It is recommended in the application of WalAce® EIFS system as it provides greater resistance and stability to the system. It also prevents the appearance of cracks in WalAce® Mortar which are caused due to temperature differences or movement of the insulation panels. It has excellent traction resistance and improves overall impact resistance of the entire system.
Additional information
Technical Caracteristics
WalAce® MESH is made of fiberglass threads, which are wrapped in a resin that protects them from the attack of cement mortar alkalis.
Advantages and Uses
- Easy to apply.
- Fire resistant.
- Crack resistant.
- Excellent traction resistance.
- Good flexibility.
- Improves shock resistance.
Application Procedure
- WalAce MESH must be sandwiched between 2 layers of WalAce Mortar which is applied on top of the insulation panel
Step by step application procedure:
- Apply the first layer of WalAce MORTAR onto the insulation panel.
- Place the WalAce MESH in such a way that it is slightly embedded into the mortar. There should be a minimum of 100mm overlap at the joints between 2 meshes.
- Apply the second layer of WalAce MORTAR to completely cover the WalAce MESH.
Recommendations
- In areas exposed to impact, reinforce the panels by using a double WalAce MESH.
- Singular points such as vertices of facade openings must be reinforced with WalAce MESH after a minimum of 24 hours post fixing the panels.
- Handling this product does not require special care, although, in extreme cases it can cause irritation to very sensitive skin. If this should happen, wash with sufficient cold water and soap.
