K Rend Alkali Resistant Reinforcing Mesh 55m - J008

Alkali Resistant Reinforcing Mesh is a reinforcing scrim cloth to improve crack resistance of K Rend render systems. The material is manufactured from specially woven glass-fibre mesh fabric with specially designed mesh surface treatments to produce an alkali resistant, flexible mesh for use in any Portland cement, Hydraulic Lime, Acrylic or Latex based stucco, mortar or surfacing material.

(55m roll) is used to reduce the build up of stress at typical stress points in the building, this minimises the potential for cracking.
