Builtex Mesh 1 x 50m GR50

Builtex Mesh 1 × 50 m GR50 is a technical fiberglass reinforcement specially designed for microcement systems. With a lightweight grammage of 50 g/m², this mesh is perfect for reinforcing microcement base layers, reducing the risk of cracks and improving the coating's resistance. Its flexible and alkali-stable structure allows for perfect integration in both horizontal and vertical applications. It is part of the professional range of Builtex reinforcements, essential for safe and durable application.

Main features

• Lightweight and flexible fiberglass plain weave.
• Total grammage: 50 g/m² (46 g fiber + 4 g sizing).
• High compatibility with cement and lime systems.
• Excellent performance against alkalis and substrate deformations.
• Prevents the formation of cracks in the base.
• Easy to handle, cut, and apply.
• Ideal for walls, floors, and substrates subject to small structural stresses.

How to use

1. Substrate preparation: must be clean, dry, and stable.
2. Application of the first coat: spread a layer of base microcement over the substrate.
3. Placement of the mesh: place directly over the fresh coat, without folds, adapting to the surface.
4. Embedding: use a trowel to integrate the mesh and remove air bubbles.
5. Second base coat: once the first coat is dry, apply a new coat completely covering the mesh.
6. Continue the system: proceed with the decorative layers of the corresponding microcement system.
