Stucco Mesh (灰泥网格/抹灰金属网) is a specialized metal mesh material designed to enhance the structural strength of stucco (plaster) or similar plaster-like materials. It is commonly used in construction scenarios such as external walls, ceilings, and other applications. Its core function is to distribute stress through its grid structure, preventing stucco cracking and improving overall durability. Below is a technical breakdown and application analysis:
Key Features & Technical Details:
- Material Composition:
- Galvanized Steel Wire Mesh: Most common type, made from low-carbon steel coated with zinc for rust resistance, suitable for humid environments (e.g., exterior walls, bathrooms).
- Fiberglass Mesh: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for interior plastering or repairs, offering high tensile strength but lower heat tolerance.
- Stainless Steel Mesh: Used in highly corrosive environments (e.g., chemical plants), offering exceptional longevity at higher costs.
- Structural Design:
- Diamond-shaped mesh holes: Uniform diamond patterns ensure even stress distribution.
- Self-adhesive backing: Some variants include textured or adhesive coatings for easy attachment to substrates (e.g., concrete, brick walls).
Core Functions & Advantages:
- Crack Prevention:
- Mitigates shrinkage-induced cracking in stucco by dispersing mechanical stress across the mesh.
- Works with waterproof barriers and corner protectors in traditional stucco systems to prevent delamination.
- Enhanced Adhesion:
- Raised textures (e.g., “V-grooves”) improve mechanical bonding with plaster, reducing voids or peeling.
- Fire & Moisture Resistance:
- Galvanized or stainless steel materials meet fire safety standards and resist weathering.
- Versatility in Complex Shapes:
- Flexible design accommodates curved surfaces (e.g., arches, decorative finishes) while maintaining plaster smoothness.
Typical Applications:
- Exterior Wall Protection:
- Reinforces traditional stucco exteriors against wind erosion, UV radiation, and moisture penetration.
- Combined with breathable membranes for water-resistant applications in rainy climates.
- Interior Finishes:
- Used in decorative plasterwork (e.g., textured walls, faux finishes) to stabilize plaster layers.
- Structural Repairs:
- Strengthens degraded substrates before re-plastering during renovation projects.
