Composite reinforcing mesh Armalit_BASE

Before being sent to the warehouse, the finished carbon fibre mesh or fiberglass mesh for concrete undergoes mandatory checks of technical parameters. You can buy composite mesh directly from the manufacturer, Armalit, at the best fiber concrete mesh price.

The rationale behind the price and popularity of Armalit’s composite mesh

Armalit’s composite fiber glass mesh for concrete boasts several significant advantages:

• High strength. Compared to similar steel mesh, mesh carbon fiber, composite mesh, and fiberglass mesh can withstand loads 2-3 times higher, ensuring a high degree of reliability.
• Corrosion resistance. Composite fiber mesh for concrete reinforcement exhibits excellent resistance to moisture and aggressive chemical compounds. This construction material is not prone to rust and maintains its integrity for many years, unlike its steel counterparts.
• Prevention of heat loss. The low thermal conductivity of the mesh reduces heat loss in winter and provides coolness in summer.
• Crack prevention. A thermal expansion module, similar to concrete, prevents cracks, unlike its steel counterparts, which may change their dimensions, damaging the structure.
• Absorption of strong vibrations. The low modulus of elasticity allows fiberglass mesh to absorb vibrations, providing resistance to destruction.
• Light weight and flexibility in length and packaging. Composite fiber mesh for concrete slabs is 6 times lighter than steel, facilitating installation and reducing delivery costs, making transportation more convenient and affordable. This construction material can even be transported in a regular passenger car without the need for freight services.
• Environmental friendliness and radio transparency. Composite materials are completely safe for human life and health and they effectively transmit radio waves.

These characteristics make Armalit’s composite and fiberglass mesh for concrete reinforcement an ideal choice for various construction and engineering tasks.

Composite mesh and its applications

Composite fibre-reinforced mesh has found its application in the construction of private and industrial facilities, particularly in environments with exposure to aggressive conditions and high humidity. This construction material ensures high structural strength, durability, and resistance to adverse environmental conditions. Fiberglass and carbon fiber mesh reinforcement are used in various fields:

• Reinforcement of any concrete screeds, including top layers of industrial floors, underfloor heating systems, preparation of surfaces for installing decorative coatings, sports fields, and rental areas, as well as aprons;
• Reinforcement of multi-layer masonry, whether it’s brick or foam block, to enhance the load-bearing capacity of structures and prevent the formation of cracks;
• Reinforcement of flat roofs in residential and multi-story buildings, as well as commercial, industrial, and sports facilities;
• Preparation of the base for roads, as well as railway and tram tracks;
• Strengthening the top layers of concrete structures (including bridges and hydraulic structures), such as protective screeds to enhance the load-bearing capacity of concrete structures used in conditions of high humidity;
• Reinforcement of the technological bases of agricultural facilities, silos, settling tanks, technological wells, chemical reservoirs, pools, fountains, etc.;
• Formation of a preparatory layer before applying plaster to walls;
• Reinforcement of coastal areas and landscape objects.

In Kyiv, composite, glass fiber, or carbon fiber mesh concrete reinforcement is delivered to the site in pre-adapted formats, maintaining the customer’s needs and the specifics of the project. This is not only a cost-effective solution in terms of materials but also significantly reduces labor costs by increasing the speed and ease of installation operations.

Classification of composite mesh, its features, and manufacturing method

Composite fibreglass mesh for concrete is made from composite reinforcing rods that are fixed perpendicular to each other with a specific cell size, forming a fiberglass grid. The process of fixing the rods can be done automatically or semi-automatically, depending on the required diameter of the reinforcement. The cell size varies, and composite mesh of 50×50, 100×100, 150×150 mm, and 200×200 mm are available on the market.

The reinforcement procedure is crucial for any construction work, and the lightweight and durable composite material effectively contributes to improving the load-bearing capacity of the entire structure. Today, you can purchase synthetic fiber mesh made from basalt, fiberglass, and carbon fiber.

Fiberglass mesh

Currently, fibreglass reinforced plastic grating effectively finds its application in various construction areas and rightfully holds top positions among materials used in this sphere. This material boasts several advantages, making it highly sought-after: it is durable, stronger than metal yet six times lighter and resistant to temperature fluctuations and the impact of aggressive substances, including chemical compounds. Furthermore, it is corrosion-resistant and easily worked with manual tools such as metal cutters or scissors.

Modern fiberglass reinforcing mesh exhibits high elasticity, practically resisting deformation under significant loads when bent. The material doesn’t conduct heat, preserving it, and lacks magnetic and screening properties. Composite mesh integrates excellently with various construction materials, such as bricks, gas silicate blocks, aerated concrete, stone, foam, and slag blocks. Moreover, the price of fiberglass masonry mesh is significantly lower than that of other types of mesh.

Fiberglass mesh for concrete countertops and other purposes is a uniquely compact and lightweight material, six times lighter than traditional metal mesh. However, its key advantage lies in its affordable price, which, for equivalent volumes of comparable metal and composite meshes, surpasses the latter by more than a third. It is precisely due to its unique characteristics that fiberglass reinforcing mesh represents a promising replacement for similar metal products in the foreseeable future.

Basalt mesh

The only significant difference between basalt mesh and fiberglass mesh is the use of basalt fibers instead of fiberglass, which significantly increases its price and raises questions about the economic feasibility of replacing steel counterparts. The application area of basalt mesh completely overlaps with fiberglass, with the difference lying only in the higher burning temperature of basalt fibers (400°C) compared to the burning temperature of fiberglass (200°C). However, this technical difference does not always bring additional advantages, as the burning temperature of the composite binder for both meshes is 200°C, which eliminates the advantage of basalt mesh over fiberglass in this context.

If you need to implement basalt mesh into your project, you can contact Armalitas, and we will produce the necessary batch according to your specific requirements.

Carbon fiber mesh

This is a rarely used type of composite mesh, distinguished from standard variants by the use of graphite carbon fibers instead of fiberglass. Carbon fiber mesh for concrete boasts powerful technical characteristics, significantly exceeding requirements in the private, industrial, commercial, and agricultural construction sectors. However, its cost is significantly higher than that of its steel counterparts, and it represents a specialized development for a limited range of applications.

FAQ

How to choose the right composite masonry mesh?

It’s simple: you just need to know the size of the mesh cell and the thickness of the wall you plan to reinforce. This way, you can choose a roll or sheet in the perfect format that won’t require additional cutting before laying. Thanks to the 2-3 times increased strength of the composite mesh compared to steel, its replacement requires the use of a smaller diameter while maintaining the same tensile strength characteristics as a larger steel counterpart. For example, to replace a 3 mm diameter steel welded mesh with a 50×50 mm cell size, a 2 mm diameter plaster fiberglass mesh with the same 50×50 mm cell size would be sufficient (see Table of Equivalent Replacement).

How much can be saved by replacing steel mesh VR-1 with composite mesh?

The benefit of transitioning from using steel mesh to composite alternatives is at least 40%, and this is just in terms of material costs. Additionally, there are noticeable additional savings on logistics expenses due to the lightweight nature of the material and its compact packaging in rolls. Labor costs are also reduced thanks to the convenient adaptive packaging format and significantly increased installation speed without the need for additional cutting of the mesh on the construction site.
