Substrate preparation for microcement – which reinforcement mesh to use

Which Reinforcement Mesh to Use?

Updated: 15.07.2026

Use a glass fibre reinforcement mesh suitable for trowel-applied systems.

Detailed answer

Use a glass fibre reinforcement mesh designed for trowel and cement-based systems. It is important that the mesh is resistant to alkaline environments and has sufficient strength. A mesh that is too soft or unsuitable will be difficult to work into the system and may not perform its function effectively. The mesh should be alkali resistant.

Common mistakes

  • application on dusty or non-cohesive substrates
  • omitting checks for hollow spots and cracks
  • insufficient degreasing and primer application
