REBARMAT GFRP Mesh for Facade Reinforcement

PRODUCT

REBARMAT® GFRP Mesh
– Non-metallic, corrosion-resistant glass-fiber reinforced polymer reinforcement

Dimensions

Mesh spacing: 100 × 100 mm
Bar diameter: Ø3 mm
Sheet format: 1.0 × 3.0 m (or supplied in rolls where required)

Location

Spain
Exterior residential spaces

Used for

– Façade renovation and restoration
– Masonry wall reinforcement before plastering
– Historic and mixed-material façades
– Crack-prone exterior walls
– Areas with openings, recesses and service penetrations

Installation

– Applied directly to masonry or concrete substrate
– Embedded into base plaster / render layer
– Overlapped at joints and reinforced locally around openings
– Finished with standard plaster or façade systems

Why GFRP instead of steel

No corrosion – No rusting beneath plaster layers — eliminates staining, delamination and cracking.
Compatible with lime, cement and hybrid mortars – Chemically inert and suitable for renovation of historic masonry.
Lightweight and flexible – Easy installation on uneven substrates and around openings.
Freeze–thaw and moisture resistant – Maintains performance in exterior exposure conditions.
Long service life – Reinforcement remains stable for decades without degradation.

Key advantages

– Reduced façade cracking risk
– No corrosion-related failures under plaster
– Faster handling compared to steel meshes
– Suitable for renovation and new construction
– Clean, durable and maintenance-friendly solution
