Choosing the Right Fiberglass Mesh for Construction
If you’re working with stucco, EIFS, drywall, or exterior coatings, fiberglass mesh is essential for reinforcement, durability, and long-term protection. But not all fiberglass mesh products are created equal.
At Rescom Products, we supply a wide range of high-quality stucco mesh and construction reinforcement materials tailored to professionals who demand performance, reliability, and code-compliant strength.
What Is Fiberglass Mesh Used For in Construction?
Fiberglass mesh is a woven, alkali-resistant material designed to add tensile strength and prevent cracking in:
– Stucco and EIFS systems
– Cement board or foam board applications
– Drywall corners and seams
– Interior and exterior wall coatings
– Plaster finishes
It’s a critical part of ensuring smooth, strong, and long-lasting finishes — especially in areas exposed to movement, weather, or structural stress.
Fiberglass Mesh Types Available at Rescom Products
We offer four grades of fiberglass reinforcement mesh, each suited to specific needs in stucco and wall systems:
2 oz Light Weight Mesh
Alkali resistant and self adhesive
4.5 oz Standard Mesh
True 4.5 oz, 6×6 weave pattern
6 oz Standard Plus Mesh
Perfect for general-purpose applications where balanced strength and flexibility are needed. Common in residential stucco jobs.
10 oz Intermediate Mesh
Ideal for areas that require slightly more durability and crack resistance — such as mid-rise commercial buildings or reinforced joint zones.
14 oz Impact Mesh
A high-impact fiberglass mesh designed to resist heavy traffic, weathering, and movement. A go-to for building exteriors and wall protection.
20 oz Hardcoat Mesh
Our strongest stucco mesh for heavy-duty reinforcement — excellent for commercial EIFS systems, hardcoat stucco, and high-stress zones.
All of our fiberglass mesh rolls are alkali-resistant, fire-retardant, and made to meet demanding building codes.
How to Choose the Right Mesh for Your Project
To select the ideal fiberglass mesh for stucco or drywall, consider:
– Project scale and type: Residential vs. commercial requirements
– Surface material: Foam board, cement board, or drywall
– Reinforcement need: Are you preventing hairline cracks, or protecting against impact and movement
– Climate exposure: Areas exposed to temperature shifts or moisture may need a heavier-grade mesh
