KEIM Reinforcement and mesh
Reinforcing mesh distributes stresses which occur in the render to avoid reaching critical levels, and makes a fundamental contribution to the permanent existence of the render system. Grid mats are usually embedded in the middle of a layer of reinforced mortar which is up to 4 mm thick; layers thicker than 4 mm house grid mats in their upper third. The reinforced mortar is applied to the insulation surface with a toothed trowel, the mesh is then embedded with an overlap of 10 cm and a thin layer of reinforced mortar is applied on top.
In order to form straight corners and edges, a mesh corner angle is used.
