Render and Plaster Reinforcing Mesh
ProMesh render and plaster reinforcing mesh is ideal for reinforcing render or plaster, particularly around openings or areas of traditional weakness. It can be used to stablilise unstable surfaces, cover and help prevent cracking. It is a flexible lattice made from special woven glass-fibre strands offering incredible strength when embedded into wet basecoat render or plaster.
