Standard Plus Mesh is an alkaline coated fiberglass fabric which is suitable to work as reinforcement for polymer modified and polymer-based cementitious base coats, and used as the standard reinforcing mesh layer in all Durex® EIFS Systems using Mechanical fasteners. It is also an upgraded reinforcing mesh layer in all Durex® EIFS Systems (chemically adhered) and Durex® Stucco Lite System. Standard Plus Mesh is produced on a loom using warp and weft (fill) yarns and woven into a leno weave, where the fill yarns are trapped tightly between to twisting wrap yarns, and is then treated by alkali-resistant macromolecule latex for superior performance.
- Fiberglass mesh of tested quality, capable of withstanding high tension without stretching.
- Glass fibers with negligible sensitivity to temperature changes within the wall.
- Proper fiberglass anti-alkaline dressing to avoid quick aging of the wall reinforcement due to corrosion action of alkalis present in coating mortar.
- Provides dimensional stability and enhances performance.
- Prevents cracking.
- Good cohesion.
- Highly flexible.
