Alkali-resistant fibreglass mesh forms the reinforcement for any external thermal insulation system. Embedded in the base coat, they absorb stress, withstand impact and prevent cracks in the render. Centrale ITE offers mesh certified for external thermal insulation (ETI) and façade mesh, at trade prices for both private individuals and professionals.
