Practically no stage of the construction of any type of building is complete without the use of concrete. Concrete withstands shrinkage well, but stretching is not as good. If the load is uneven, cracks may appear on the concrete structure. Therefore, a composite mesh can be used to increase the strength of concrete. Sacramento is located in California, where little is known about this innovative composite material.
Why is reinforcement necessary?
Reinforcement – reinforcement of a concrete structure with a frame made of fiberglass reinforcement. Concrete reinforcement allows you to solve the following problems:
- strengthen a concrete structure, even of a complex shape (for example, semi-circular steps);
- allows concrete structures to withstand even strong temperature changes;
- increases resistance to mechanical loads;
- prevents the appearance of corrosion;
- protects against overheating;
- prevents the appearance of cracks;
- evenly distributes the load over the entire area of the foundation;
- increases the service life of the concrete structure.
The use of composite mesh is mandatory for such types of screed:
- Leveling screed in rooms where heavy loads upon the floor are imposed.
- Multilayer with the use of a thermal insulation layer. Thanks to the reinforcing layer, the thickness of the multilayer base is thinner, so the load on the floors is reduced.
- The rough screed is laid on the ground or on a plate for primary leveling of the surface. In such cases, there is a high probability of shrinkage or deformation of the base. Fiberglass mesh allows you to maintain the integrity even with a strong shrinkage of the building.
The process of reinforcing the floor with a composite mesh:
- the surface where the mesh will be laid is cleaned of dirt and debris;
- if necessary, waterproofing is laid;
- floor level markings are made on the walls of the building;
- plastic retainers are laid out for the grid, and linings for the grid can also be made from a solution;
- the fiberglass mesh is laid on the retainers with an overlap of at least one cell, when laying it is necessary to step back from the wall by 1 inch;
- beacons are installed at a distance of 4-8 in;
- concrete or mortar is poured between the beacons;
- after the screed grabs, the beacons are removed and the holes are sealed with concrete or mortar.
Where can I buy a composite mesh?
Due to many advantages, composite mesh is already actively used in many countries. You can buy fiberglass products in Sacramento at our company “Arma Group Inc.”. The production of composite mesh in Sacramento takes place in rolls and sheets. The roll greatly simplifies the process of transportation and installation of fiberglass mesh.
How much does a composite mesh cost? The price in Sacramento for a fiberglass mesh directly depends on the diameter of the composite reinforcement used and the size of the cells. The most popular cells are in the range of 50-200 mm.
