Product Overview
The mesh is produced from woven fiberglass fabric and treated with an acrylic-based polymer coating. The coating protects the glass yarn, improves handling, and provides compatibility with construction coating systems.
For acrylic waterproofing applications, mesh selection is based on the waterproofing formulation, substrate, coating thickness, application method, and required reinforcement level.

Acrylic Waterproofing Applications
Roof Waterproofing
The mesh is embedded into acrylic waterproof coatings used for roof refurbishment and waterproofing. It is used where the waterproofing layer needs additional reinforcement over existing substrates, repaired surfaces, or areas subject to localized stress.
Concrete and Cement-Based Surfaces
Fiberglass reinforcement mesh is incorporated into acrylic waterproofing systems applied over concrete, cement render, and other mineral-based substrates. The reinforcement helps distribute stresses within the coating layer.
Balcony and Terrace Waterproofing
Balconies and terraces contain joints, corners, changes in substrate geometry, and localized movement. Fiberglass mesh is used as part of the waterproofing reinforcement system around transitions and other areas identified by the coating manufacturer.
Repair and Refurbishment
For renovation projects, the existing substrate may contain hairline cracks, repaired areas, or variations in surface condition. An embedded fiberglass mesh layer provides additional reinforcement to the liquid waterproofing system.
Why Mesh Selection Matters
The fiberglass mesh is one component of a liquid waterproofing system. Its performance depends on compatibility with the waterproof coating and substrate.
When selecting a mesh, procurement teams evaluate:
Glass type: The glass composition affects chemical resistance and mechanical properties.
Area weight: Defines the amount of reinforcement per square meter.
Mesh opening: Influences coating penetration, coverage, and reinforcement distribution.
Coating system: The polymer coating must be compatible with the intended waterproofing material.
Tensile performance: Warp and weft tensile properties are evaluated when the mesh is used for higher-reinforcement applications.
Dimensional stability: The mesh maintains its geometry during handling and embedding.
Roll configuration: Width and length affect installation speed, material consumption, packaging, and shipping efficiency.
How It Works in Acrylic Waterproofing
Fiberglass mesh is embedded into the acrylic waterproofing layer while the coating is still wet.
The application sequence:
- Substrate preparation
- First waterproofing coat
- Fiberglass mesh embedding
- Mesh saturation
- Additional waterproofing coat
Final curing
The mesh should be fully embedded in the waterproofing material rather than left exposed at the surface.
For large-area applications, the mesh provides continuous reinforcement across the waterproofing layer. At corners, transitions, joints, penetrations, and other stress-prone locations, additional reinforcement may be specified depending on the waterproofing system.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Fiberglass mesh performance depends on yarn consistency, weaving accuracy, coating uniformity, and tension control during finishing. Production facilities include rapier wide non-shuttle looms and combined coating and cutting equipment.
The manufacturing process includes:
Glass fiber yarn preparation → Weaving → Coating → Drying → Inspection → Cutting → Roll formation → Packaging
Key production checks include:
Mesh opening consistency
Area weight
Coating uniformity
Roll width
Roll length
Surface appearance
Tensile performance
Roll winding condition
Packaging condition
The production process and inspection criteria are aligned with the buyer's product specification.
Packaging and Export
Fiberglass mesh is supplied in rolls and packed according to the requirements of container transportation and downstream distribution.
Packaging is specified according to:
Roll dimensions
Carton requirements
Pallet requirements
Container loading
Private-label packaging
Moisture protection
Destination-market requirements
For quotation, provide the required GSM, mesh opening, roll width, roll length, quantity, and destination market.
FAQ
Q: Can fiberglass mesh be used with acrylic waterproofing coatings?
A: Yes. Acrylic-coated fiberglass mesh is embedded into liquid-applied acrylic waterproofing systems as a reinforcement layer. Compatibility should be confirmed with the specific coating formulation.
Q: Is fiberglass mesh itself waterproof?
A: The mesh is used as reinforcement rather than as the primary waterproofing layer. The acrylic coating or waterproofing membrane provides the main waterproofing function.
Q: What GSM should I use for acrylic waterproofing?
A: The required GSM depends on the coating thickness, substrate, reinforcement level, and application method. GSM is selected together with mesh opening and coating requirements.
Q: Can you produce custom mesh openings?
A: Yes. Mesh opening can be specified according to the customer's application and purchasing requirements.
Q: Can the roll width and length be customized?
A: Yes. Width and roll length can be adjusted for installation, packaging, and shipping requirements.
Q: What glass fiber is used?
A: C-glass or E-glass woven fiberglass is used depending on the required product specification and application.
