Throughout the world, steel mesh is gradually fading into the background in construction, and composite mesh is the main material for reinforcement. San Francisco Bay Area, where this material has not yet gained popularity, but it has every chance for this.
What is a composite fiberglass mesh?
The composite mesh consists of perpendicularly placed fiberglass rods of circular cross-section. Fiberglass mesh cells come in different sizes and shapes. The most popular cell shape is square, and the most commonly used cell sizes are from 50 to 200 mm.
Advantages of fiberglass mesh:
- Corrosion resistance, thanks to which it is possible to work in conditions with high humidity.
- High breaking strength. Fiberglass mesh is 3-4 times stronger than its metal counterpart, respectively, it can withstand higher bending and stretching loads.
- High adhesion to concrete due to the granular coating.
- Low thermal conductivity. The use of composite products prevents the appearance of “cold bridges”.
- Light weight. The composite is 6 times lighter than its steel counterpart – this allows you to use fewer people during transportation and installation work.
- The low modulus of elasticity makes it possible to quickly extinguish vibrations.
- The service life of the reinforced structure increases. According to research, after 100 years of using fiberglass products, the structural strength has remained at 79.6% of the level that it was originally.
- Environmental friendliness. The composite does not emit harmful substances.
Types of fiberglass mesh
Depending on the manufacturing technology, the following types of composite mesh are distinguished:
Biaxially oriented | The reinforcement fibers are additionally reinforced. This is a fairly strong composite material that is used for reinforcing foundations, strengthening industrial buildings, etc. |
Simple | It is less durable than biaxially oriented. It is used mainly for household purposes. |
Application of composite mesh
Almost no construction can do without the use of fiberglass products. Composite mesh is used:
- for reinforcing concrete elements that are exposed to chemicals;
- to increase the strength of the elastic foundations of the foundation;
- for the manufacture of plaster stucco;
- for plastering works;
- for the manufacture of concrete products, drainage pipes, dowels;
- to strengthen hydraulic structures, coastal structures;
- for reinforcing roads and bridges.
Where can I buy composite products?
Where to look if you need a composite grid. You can buy fiberglass products in the Bay Area from our company “Arma Group Inc.”.
Leave our sales stuff your phone number or e-mail to find out how much the composite mesh will cost. The price in the Bay Area directly depends on the diameter of the composite rods. If necessary, our employees can send an up-to-date price list.
Under the order, we will be able to produce a composite mesh of the size and quantity you need. The production of composite mesh in the Bay Area takes place in the form of rolls and sheets. The bay makes composite products more compact and simplifies transportation.
