Fields of Application

Fibremesh has been specifically designed and developed as a reinforcing membrane in waterproofing repair applications, using such resin systems as bitumen, acrylics, epoxy and polyesters. This product is a proven material that provides additional strength to the potentially weak areas of waterproofing, such as:

  • On upturns
  • Flashings
  • Repair work
  • Flat Roofs
  • Parapets
  • Underscreed applications
  • Swimming pools
  • Verandas

Features

  • Exceptional dimensional stability
  • Resistance to folding, creasing, or wrinkling during application
  • Provides high tensile strength in longitudinal and lateral
    directions even after bonding
  • The glass is unaffected by ultra violet
  • Water resistant and does not rot or burn
  • Acid and alkali resistant
  • Easy to apply
  • Efficient yet cost effective

Application

Fibremesh must always be placed mesh to substrate.

  • Prepare your surface. Make sure it's clean, dry, free of dust,
    grease, loose or flaking paint for plaster.
  • Unreel the Fibremesh over the surface to be waterproofed,
    rising it over skirting board level.
  • Apply the first coat of paint or the other recommended
    product chosen to stick Fibremesh to the surface, making sure
    it's fully absorbed.
  • Apply a reasonable quantity of paint or other recommended
    product over the Fibremesh using a roller, spatula, brush or
    any other appropriate tool.
  • After first coat has dried, the fibre pattern of Fibremesh will be
    visible. Apply a second and third criss-crossed coats of paint in
    order to achieve the recommended thickness.
  • Repeat for the succeeding strips of Fibremesh making sure to
    overlap by at least 50 mm.
