ETA-Assessed and CE-Marked Fiberglass Mesh for ETICS Applications GATEX G-145 Professional is a high-performance fiberglass reinforcement mesh developed for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), offering strong reinforcement, dimensional stability and reliable performance under mechanical and thermal stress.
Key Features
The GATEX G145 Standard fiberglass mesh must be embedded into a base layer of smoothing adhesive (min. 2–3 mm) applied to the insulation surface. Follow these steps for optimal installation:
Important:
Mesh overlaps must not coincide with insulation board seams.
In vulnerable areas such as wall corners and window/door openings, apply diagonal reinforcement pieces (approx. 20 × 30 cm) to strengthen against cracking and localized stress.
