Question 3

What applications is this mesh best suited for?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for masonry reinforcement in blockwork, plaster bonding in walls, exterior plaster renders, and interior plastering projects where additional crack resistance and plaster adhesion are needed.

Question 4

How do I install the GI block mesh?

Accepted Answer

Plan your layout, cut the mesh to size with tin snips, position it over the area to be reinforced, secure at regular intervals using suitable fasteners or plaster washers, ensure overlaps of about 100 mm at joints, then embed it into the first plaster layer before applying subsequent coats.

Question 5

What safety tips should I follow when handling this mesh?

Accepted Answer

Wear cut-resistant gloves and safety glasses to protect from sharp edges. Handle carefully to avoid snags, store in a dry area to prevent corrosion on uninstalled mesh, and follow standard PPE practices for plastering work.

Question 6

How does this mesh compare with fiberglass plaster mesh?

Accepted Answer

GI block mesh is metal, offering higher tensile strength and better exterior durability, especially in damp or externally exposed conditions, while fiberglass mesh is lighter and does not rust but may be less stiff for heavy-duty applications.

Question 7

Is this mesh suitable for exterior use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The galvanized iron construction provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for exterior plastering and damp environments.

Question 8

What maintenance or care does it require after installation?

Accepted Answer

Once embedded in plaster, maintenance is minimal. Protect the plaster from moisture fluctuations and monitor for hairline cracks; repair as needed with patch plaster.

Question 9

How does the price compare to alternative reinforcement options on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

The GI block mesh provides strong, durable reinforcement at a cost-effective price, offering long-term value by reducing cracks and improving plaster bond compared with less robust options.
