Among building materials, plaster has always occupied a special place. This material is used in the construction and decoration of premises in most civil and industrial facilities. One of the main advantages of plaster is its versatility, that is, the ability to use it in almost any conditions. However, it should be borne in mind that when applying a layer of plaster on, for example, concrete or brick, the final surface is unlikely to turn out to be even. To smooth out this defect, builders use a fairly simple construction - plaster mesh , which allows you to strengthen the plaster and avoid roughness.
Depending on the characteristics of the working conditions, builders use various types of mesh structures. Plaster nets can be divided into several classifications at once, however, the most common division of nets into four large categories:
- Woven mesh;
- Braided mesh;
- Welded mesh;
- Expanded steel mesh
So, for example, for finishing thin walls, facades and other light structures, woven nets and braided nets are best suited. They have good plasticity, are quite cheap, and their installation is not difficult. The key difference between the two lies only in the size of the working cells: woven nets are better suited for working with a large working area. The mesh itself is equipped with a protective zinc layer. But their more complex and strong analogue - welded mesh - is used in the construction of apartment buildings and private houses. They have increased strength, but the price of such work cells will be significantly higher.
