Alkali Resistant Restoration Mesh: Application Guide
How It Differs From Standard Plaster Mesh
Alkali Resistant Restoration Mesh uses the same E-Glass + AR coating technology as standard plaster mesh, but is positioned to suit the sensitivity of restoration work — fine enough not to disturb the original wall texture.
How It's Applied
The mesh is embedded between existing plaster layers or within a new restoration plaster coat. This reinforces the plaster against future cracking and delamination while the building's original, visible exterior finish stays untouched.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can restoration mesh be used on listed heritage buildings?+
Yes — since the mesh is embedded invisibly within the plaster, it doesn't alter the building's exterior appearance, but always follow the relevant heritage/preservation authority's requirements.
What weight is recommended for restoration work?+
A mid-range weight (around 145 g/m²) suits most restoration applications; the wall's existing condition and movement risk should be assessed project by project.
