What is the 50mm Mesh used for?

The 50mm Mesh is a narrow detailing strip of alkali-resistant woven fibreglass - for reinforcing internal/external corners, pipe penetrations, hairline cracks, and tight detail areas where the 200mm Max Mesh is too wide.

Why use mesh at corners?

Corner junctions are the highest-stress points in a waterproofing system - the substrate movement concentrates at the right-angle bend. The mesh distributes that stress across the membrane to prevent tearing at the apex.

Apply the first wet coat of cementitious membrane along the corner or detail, lay the 50mm mesh strip into the wet coat, press out air with a pressure roller, then overcoat with the second membrane coat once the first has set.

Compatible with which membranes?

Embeds into all Drizoro cementitious membranes - Maxseal Flex, Flex-M, Maxseal Traffic, Max Flex Express, and Maxseal Foundation. The open-weave construction lets the membrane wet through completely.

Drizoro Mesh is a woven fiberglass reinforcement mesh designed for use with waterproofing and coating systems. It helps strengthen areas prone to cracking, movement, and joint separation, improving the overall durability of the application. The open weave structure allows strong bonding between coating layers, making it easy to embed and ensuring better performance of the waterproofing system. Ideal for use on cracks, joints, and weak substrates where additional reinforcement is required.

Alkali-resistant fibreglass with excellent chemical stability against alkalis and UV

Bridges cracks, corners, corner fillets, construction joints and penetration pipes

Flexible, easy placement on irregular surfaces, non-irritating on skin contact

How to Use

Lay into the fresh first layer of coating or mortar and press through with a brush, roller or trowel until completely embeddedRepair any surface damage or defect deeper than 5mm, opened to a minimum depth of 2 cm, with a structural repair mortar such as MAXREST
Remove any irregularity protruding from the substrate that could trap air under the coating
Open wall to slab and pillar to slab joints to a hole of approximately 30 x 30 mm and repair with MAXREST, or MAXPLUG where water is present
Finish those junctions with a concave corner profile
Round all corners and edges to a radius greater than 30 mm
Cut the mesh strips to the length set out in the drawing and work plan with scissors or a utility cutter
Pre-assemble the cut strips on the substrate before installation
Apply the first layer of the waterproof coating or mortar
While the first layer is still fresh, place the mesh strip onto the undercoat
Smooth the mesh down with a brush, roller or trowel from one end to the other and press firmly across it to release trapped air
Check the mesh is completely embedded and impregnated by the coating or mortar
Overlap strips by at least 5 cm longitudinally and side by side
Cover at least 10 cm of each edge of a joint or crack with the mesh
Observe the open time of the material being reinforced and apply the second layer to its own Technical Bulletin

Technical overview

Drizoro Mesh is a range of alkali-resistant fibreglass meshes for reinforcing waterproof coatings, plaster mortars on facades and repair mortars on structures, to prevent cracking under stress and give the system greater resistance. It is laid into the fresh first layer of the coating or mortar and pressed through until fully embedded, never placed straight onto the substrate. The Technical Bulletin covers grades 58, 130 and 140 and publishes weight, thickness, weave, colour and tensile strength for roll widths of 1 m and 0,30 m only. It does not list a 50mm x 50m roll, so no grade-specific figures are quoted here. No accredited test certificate is published for this product.

Key applications

Reinforcing waterproof coatings
Reinforcing plaster mortars on facades
Reinforcing repair mortars on structures
Overlapping, reinforcement and bridging of cracks, corners and corner fillets
Construction joints and penetration pipes
Critical points between different types of substrates
Waterproof coatings exposed to thermal movements by weather conditions
Coatings applied over smooth surfaces and non-porous substrates

Do not place the mesh directly on the substrate without any previous coating or mortar. Surface damage and defects deeper than 5mm, such as cavities, chips, cracks and holes, must first be opened to a minimum depth of 2 cm and repaired with a structural repair mortar such as MAXREST. Remove any irregularity that protrudes from the substrate and could trap air under the coating. Joints between walls and slabs or pillars and slabs must be opened to a hole of approximately 30 x 30 mm and repaired with MAXREST, or MAXPLUG if water is present, and finished with a concave corner profile. Corners and edges must be rounded to a radius greater than 30 mm. Strips must overlap by at least 5 cm longitudinally and side by side, and at least 10 cm of each edge of a joint or crack must be covered by the mesh, so check the strip width suits the detail before ordering. Make sure the mesh is completely embedded by the coating or mortar and observe the open time of the material being reinforced before applying the second layer. Store the roll upright in its original unopened packaging, dry and covered, between 5C and 40C, away from heat and direct sunlight.

Why trade professionals choose Drizoro

Drizoro is a Spanish manufacturer of cement based waterproofing and concrete repair products, supplied to the Australian trade through The Waterproofing Shop. The range on this site covers Maxseal Foundation and Maxseal Flex, along with repair mortars, grouts, joint products and mesh, used on concrete and masonry where water has to be held back rather than simply shed. Choosing between the rigid and the flexible grade is the key decision, and it comes down to the substrate, the direction of the water and how much movement the structure is likely to see.
