rakennusverkkojen

Rakennusverkkojen, often translated as construction mesh or building mesh, refers to a range of meshed materials used in various construction applications to reinforce, support, or protect structures. These meshes are typically made from durable materials like steel, fiberglass, plastic, or a combination thereof. The specific type of rakennusverkko used depends on its intended purpose and the structural requirements of the project.

One common application is in plastering and rendering. Here, the mesh is embedded within the plaster or render to prevent cracking and improve its overall strength and durability. This is particularly important on exterior walls where the material is exposed to weather elements. In concrete work, reinforcement meshes, often made of welded steel wires, are used to strengthen concrete slabs, walls, and other structural elements, increasing their load-bearing capacity and resistance to cracking.

Another use for rakennusverkko is in insulation systems, where it helps to secure insulation materials and provide a base for finishing layers. For facades, special types of facade mesh are employed to provide crack reinforcement and support for facade coatings. Plastic meshes are also utilized for temporary fencing on construction sites, protecting the area and preventing unauthorized access. The flexibility and light weight of plastic meshes make them easy to install and remove. Fiberglass meshes are known for their resistance to corrosion and alkali, making them suitable for use in chemically aggressive environments or where traditional metal meshes might degrade.
