Used for
– Restoration of damaged or cracked brick and block walls
– Surface reinforcement of masonry prior to rendering
– Local repairs around openings, corners and discontinuities
– Renovation projects where steel mesh corrosion is a known risk
– Long-term durable façade and interior wall rehabilitation
Installation
– Surface is cleaned and prepared (remove loose material)
– GFRP mesh is positioned and fixed (anchors/fasteners as needed)
– Mesh is fully embedded in repair mortar / render with adequate cover
– Finish coat applied after base layer curing, per mortar system specification
Why GFRP instead of steel
No corrosion in repair layers – Unlike steel meshes, GFRP does not rust inside mortar and does not cause staining, swelling or spalling.
Thin, efficient reinforcement – 4 mm / 50×50 provides dense crack-control reinforcement without heavy build-up.
Compatible with restoration workflow – Installed using familiar repair steps: surface prep, anchoring, embedment, top coat.
Lightweight and easy handling – Faster placement on site and simpler cutting and shaping around details.
Durability in moisture-prone walls – Suitable for old masonry where moisture migration and salts are common.
Key advantages
– Corrosion-free wall reinforcement in repair mortars
– Reduced risk of future delamination and crack recurrence
– Clean, predictable restoration detail (no rust bleed-through)
– Lightweight installation with standard tools
– Suitable for renovation where long service life is required
