Surely many, entering the construction supermarket, paid attention to the huge variety of grids for the facade. And it would seem what the difference in it, besides the material from which it is made, and colors? In fact, the difference is huge, and first of all in application. Consider several popular species, and let's try to figure out - what is the front grid.

Types of mesh and applications
First of all, the front grid varies according to the material from which it is done, and maybe:- Steel
- Polyurethan
- Tissue
- Fiberglass
Steel
Plaster grid
This is a construction reinforcement grid designed to lay in the screed. Thanks to the welded design, it creates a solid concrete connection with the base and does not crack it.
It is made from a thin galvanized wire that cannot be corrosion. Today, such a grid can often be found in road works. It is placed under the asphalt fabric to avoid the destruction of the coating.
Some builders use a welded grid under the plaster, but I would not advise this to do, because of her gravity and high costs. Today there are more easy options, in quality not inferior to metal.
In addition to the weld, there is also a well-known chain grid. It is manufactured by carrying wires with each other, and without the use of welding. Most often it is used to fence the plots. But it should be noted that it is quite difficult to work with it, and the price is sometimes higher than that of the weld analogue.

The word facade, in its title is applied several in another meaning. In fact, it is a protective grid for scaffolding. Due to its strength, it is able to withstand a decent weight, for example, if a person or building materials fell from the forests. This facade grid has special compounds at the edges, so that it can be collected in a large solid canvas.

Fix such a facade grid at an angle regarding scaffolding, and transfer higher as needed. In recent years, the use of a protective grid in construction sites has become a legislative norm in order to secure workers from falling from forests.
In addition, the plastic grid is often used in the country areas, where it can be taken out of it or an animal aviary. Of course, its decorative component is more important for the fence of such a grid than protective, but it is quickly mounted, and the cost is significantly lower than, for example, Rabitsa.
Tissue
Facade mesh as a fence
More often it is called - shadowing or disguise. Initially, this mesh was used only by the military, since it resembles natural vegetation with its drawing. But today it is used to fencing forests when construction work is carried out in a lively area. She restrains dust well and protects buildings from rain or snow. Its shadowing function is equally important, especially when the work is carried out in hot weather.
Also, the camouflage grid is used to cover the facade of the building, if construction work is temporarily suspended, or it is necessary to give dry paint.
The shadowing function of the tissue facade mesh is used and in everyday life, where it is used to protect the beds from the scorching sun or strong hail. In addition, the camouflage mesh with a natural pattern will save landing from birds that take it for a smooth land plot.
Fiberglass
Externally, it very much resembles a protective net for forests, but heavily inferior to her by tensile strength. Fiberglass applied during finishing works as the reinforcing base under the plaster. And if heavy materials are used for external decoration, such as tile or granite, it is simply necessary. This grid is often called simply painting, and it needs to be part more.Article on the topic: How to remove mold from the walls and forget about it forever
Reinforcing, painting mesh
Facade mesh
Everyone knows that building glue and cement-based plaster, have a large amount of alkali in their composition, which is capable of dissolving most types of plastic. That is why the painting facade mesh is made of high-quality fiberglass, which is not scary of the effects of solvents and alkalis.
Important: To plastering the building, it is recommended to use a painting mesh with the SSA 1363-4SM marking, where 4SM is the designation of the size of the cell 4 by 4 cm.
The fastener is completely insensitive to change temperatures. And unlike plastic, there is no properties to expand. Due to this, it is able to firmly hold not only cement coating, but also glue for tiles or porcelain stoneware.
But depending on which material is selected for wall decoration, the density of the reinforcing grid is selected. It is marked as follows:
- 70 g / m
- 120 g / m
- 145 g / m
- 165 g / m
The numbers indicate which weight is withstanding one square meter of the reinforced surface. What is the value above, the hardest finishing material can be used.
Important: Some manufacturers, such as "Cerezite", produce both glue and the grid facade. In this case, it is better to use the products of one manufacturer, then the coating will last much longer.
Corner with grid
Facade mesh (density 145 g / m2)
Fiberglass facade mesh, very flexible, because of which it is difficult to use in places of sharp transitions or corners. Therefore, a corner is created specifically for these purposes, on the rib, which is already fixed by the painting mesh. The corner is attached to the glue and continues to stretch the grid.
Some builders save, and simply fill the grid of jack, but I strongly recommend that it does not do. The destruction of the layer of plaster, as a rule, starts precisely from the corner of the building, and the corner with the grid is able to prevent it.
So, let's summarize all the above and highlight the main advantages of using a glass tired mesh:
- Significantly increases the service life of the plastered surface
- Protects the surface from the appearance of cracks
- Easy to use
- Increases surface density and protects against mechanical effects.
- Improves coating properties associated with temperature drops

Work with reinforcing grid
Facade mesh
Before reinforcing, you need to perform a number of preparatory work, which will later significantly extend the service life.
First of all, the wall must be carefully cleaned from the construction trash. Otherwise, glue can start peeling.
Further, the surface is processed by impregnation and soil, and special attention must be paid to the places where the corner will be used, since moisture is often accumulated under it.
When the surface is completely dry, a corner is fixed with glue.
Important: Using the Mesh of the company "LIANTRAID", ideally suited impregnation and glue "Cerezit".
After the corners are fixed, the glue layer is applied to the surface, in which, with the help of a peel or spatula, a fiberglass reinforcement with a falsestone is accumulated about 10 cm. The surface, if possible, is aligned, and now it needs to be allowed to dry well.
Important: At temperatures from +15 to +30 degrees, the glue "Cerezite" should dry up at least a day.
Now that the surface is completely dried, you can proceed directly to the decorative finish. The construction grid strengthens the basis several times, so you can completely use even a female stoneware to finish, which has a lot of weight.

In conclusion, I would like to note that, despite the external similarity, the construction grid is a very generalized concept. And, for example, camouflage, not suitable for protecting forests, and plastic is afraid of alkaline glue and plaster.
Without a facade mesh, there is no single building today, especially when it is necessary to carry out work at high altitude.
In order to avoid unpleasant consequences, it is necessary to clearly understand what is the difference between them, and I hope that my article has made a certain clarity.
