Don’t think fiberglass mesh is only for new home renovations. It’s perfect for these 5 scenarios:
- New home renovation phase
: Apply a layer before plastering the walls to prevent cracks caused by wall settlement. - Old home renovation projects
: After removing old wall skin, apply fiberglass mesh first then paint to fix the problem of loose old walls. - Walls around kitchens and bathrooms
: For walls near water pipes and tiles, fiberglass mesh blocks moisture and prevents mold. - Joints of gypsum board ceilings
: Gypsum board joints are prone to cracking—fiberglass mesh strengthens the joint stability. - Exterior wall insulation construction
: Use fiberglass mesh when applying exterior wall insulation to resist wind and freezing, and avoid insulation layer falling off.
