    To create an unusual and unique exterior, facade decor is often used. Thanks to modern technologies, buildings can be decorated in a variety of ways, but at the same time, classical stucco is a constant favorite. It is worth remembering that the reinforcement of the decor made of concrete and gypsum allows you to increase the structural strength of the decor.

    Features of the facade decor

    A building decorated with decorative elements always attracts attention. Facade stucco is actively used for the decoration of various buildings: cottages, administrative, city, shopping facilities, etc. After all, thanks to the affordable price and a wide selection of stucco elements, you can embody any stylistic solution. Thanks to the facade decor, you can turn even an old building into a real piece of art.

    There is a huge variety of facade decor, which differs in shape, production method, weight, load capacity, etc. For example, according to the load capacity, there are operated and non-operated decor. Special attention should be paid to the decoration of passageways, stairwells, and terraces. In such places, there are occasional intense loads act upon the facade decor.

    Reinforcement with fiberglass mesh will strengthen the structure, and extend its service life.

    Reinforcing the gypsum or concrete decor is quite an important stage of work, especially for the production of large-sized elements in length and width, as well as in the manufacturing of elements of small thickness.

    What are the advantages of reinforcing the facade decor?

    Materials such as stainless steel, fiberglass or tow can be used for reinforcement. However, most often the reinforcement of a decor is made of concrete or gypsum with a fiberglass mesh. This is due to a number of advantages:

    • composite materials are not susceptible to corrosion and are not affected by water, which is actively used in stucco during its manufacturing;
    • composite mesh is convenient to work with, it is quite easy to cut off the desired size, and it is also quite simple to lay when casting into a mold;
    • elasticity of the fiberglass mesh allows the material to be used in structures of complex configuration;
    • composite mesh protects the product from the formation and spreading of cracks, prevents the occurrence of cracks in the places where the elements are joined;
    • fiberglass materials have high adhesion to concrete and gypsum;
    • composite mesh helps to overcome internal stresses caused by temperature changes and air humidity;
    • fiberglass mesh increases the thermal insulation properties of the building;
    • thanks to composite materials, the service life of the decorated elements is significantly increased;
    • composite mesh has a high impact resistance;
    • fiberglass mesh can withstand temperature changes from +70 to -50 °C;
    • composite materials are environmentally friendly;
    • acceptable cost of materials.

    It is worth noting that fiberglass mesh is not only used for reinforcing facade decor, it is also actively used in external insulation systems of buildings, in waterproofing systems of buildings, for reinforcing foundations, floors, etc.
