ETA-Certified Fiberglass Mesh for ETICS Applications G160 PRO is a top-tier fiberglass mesh developed for high-performance External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS). Certified under the European Technical Assessment (ETA), this mesh offers superior mechanical strength and dimensional stability, making it ideal for demanding insulation systems exposed to high stress and impact.
Key Features
The GATEX G160 PRO fiberglass mesh must be embedded into a base layer of smoothing adhesive (minimum 2–3 mm) applied to the insulation surface. Follow the installation procedure below:
Important:
Mesh overlaps must not coincide with the seams between insulation panels.
In stress-prone areas (e.g., corners, windows, and door openings), apply diagonal reinforcement inserts (approx. 20 × 30 cm) to increase crack resistance and structural cohesion.
Material: Glass fibre, with alkali-resistant and fibre-fixing coating.
