BritFibre Mesh Reinforcement - 50m Roll - Bulk Buy
The Alkali-Resistant Fiberglass Mesh for Rendering, Screeding & Tanking
Customize Your Order
Description
BritFibre Mesh is an alkali-resistant fibre glass mesh designed for reinforcing protective waterproofing layers, decoupling membranes, thermal insulation systems, basecoat plaster and for the reinforcement of render, screeds, cements and concrete. Once a compound layer has been installed and hardened, BritFibre Mesh helps to reinforce the layer to protect against the formation of cracks due to movement in the substrate or the finished surface. BritFibre Mesh also helps improve the system’s resistance to temperature variations and abrasion.
Application:
BritFibre Mesh must be completely embedded in the compound layer to be reinforced. Apply an even layer of the product and while the product is still fresh, lay BritFibre Mesh on the surface and press it gently with the trowel so that it is embedded in the compound layer. Wait for the layer to dry and, if required, apply a second layer of the product.
Each piece of BritFibre Mesh should be overlapped by at least 5cm.
Key Benefits:
- Excellent Strength & Stability
- Resistant to Alkalis
- Stabalises to Prevent Cracking
- Corrosion Resistant
- High Tear Resistance
- Very Lightweight and Easy to Cut
Built for Structural Integrity & Crack Prevention
Cracks in render or screed are costly to fix. BritFibre Mesh is an alkali-resistant fiberglass engineered to reinforce basecoats, waterproofing layers, and thermal insulation systems. By embedding this mesh into the wet compound, you create a composite layer that resists movement, temperature variations, and abrasion, ensuring your finish stays flawless.

Your Questions, Answered
Cement, screed, and render are highly alkaline. Standard fiberglass would break down and rot when in contact with them. BritFibre Mesh is coated to be Alkali Resistant, ensuring it retains its strength inside the mortar for the lifetime of the building.
It must be completely embedded in the compound. Apply an even layer of your render/screed/waterproofing. While it is still wet/fresh, lay the BritFibre Mesh on top. Press it gently with the trowel so it sits inside the layer (not just on top). Smooth over or apply a second coat if required.
Yes. It is designed for reinforcing protective waterproofing layers and decoupling membranes. It provides extra tensile strength to liquid tanking systems, preventing the waterproof skin from splitting under stress.
When joining two pieces of mesh, ensure they overlap by at least 5cm. This continuity is vital to stop cracks forming at the join.
It is suitable for reinforcing render, screeds, cements, concrete, basecoat plaster, and thermal insulation systems. It is a versatile multi-purpose reinforcement tool.
Yes. It is Very Lightweight and Easy to Cut using standard site scissors or a sharp utility knife, making installation quick and hassle-free.
