Penguins Fibreglass Reinforcement Mesh 165g/m2 – 1.1m x 55m

Professional Reinforcement for Long-Lasting Facades

Penguins Fibreglass Mesh 165g/m² 165 is a premium-grade reinforcing mesh designed specifically for use in External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems. Manufactured from high-performance E-glass fiberglass and finished with a durable latex coating, this mesh provides structural stability, crack resistance, and increased longevity to thermal insulation systems.

With a grammage of 165g/m², IS165 offers a perfect balance between flexibility and mechanical strength, making it ideal for use with both expanded polystyrene (EPS) and mineral wool insulation systems. Engineered to meet European Technical Assessment (ETA) and ITB Technical Approval standards, it is the trusted choice for professional contractors seeking reliable performance and regulatory compliance on every project.

Key Features

• Premium E-Glass Fiberglass – Ensures high durability, dimensional stability, and long-term performance
• Latex Coating – Offers better adhesion and longer-lasting properties compared to acrylic-coated alternatives
• Moisture-Resistant – Contains hydrophobic additives to prevent dampness during storage and application
• High Tensile Strength – Efficiently absorbs and redistributes stresses caused by thermal expansion
• Stable Weave – Consistent mesh structure guarantees easy application and even reinforcement
• Heavy-Duty Weight (165g/m²) – Optimal balance between flexibility and mechanical reinforcement
• Certified Quality – Compliant with ETA and ITB technical standards for professional use

Applications

Penguins Fibreglass Mesh is a critical component in External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) and is widely used in:

• Residential and commercial facade insulation projects
• Systems using EPS or mineral wool insulation boards
• Areas prone to structural stress, thermal movement, or surface cracking
• High-performance EWI projects requiring certified and long-lasting materials

Ideal for:

• Insulation contractors
• Building envelope specialists
• Construction firms focused on energy-efficient facade solutions

By integrating IS165 into your insulation system, you ensure superior resistance to cracking, better stress distribution, and a longer lifespan for your facade.

Instructions for Use

Before Installation:

1. Ensure the insulation board surface is clean, dry, and free of dust.
2. Prepare your reinforcing adhesive according to the system manufacturer’s instructions.

Embedding the Mesh:

1. Apply a base coat of adhesive evenly using a notched trowel.
2. While the adhesive is still wet, press the Penguins Fibreglass Mesh into the surface using a stainless steel trowel.
3. Overlap adjacent strips by at least 10 cm to ensure structural continuity.
4. Smooth out any wrinkles and ensure the mesh is fully embedded and not visible.
5. Apply a second layer of base coat (wet-on-wet) to cover the mesh completely.
6. Allow to dry before applying finishing render or topcoat.

Storage Tips:

• Store in dry conditions, off the ground, and protected from direct sunlight.
• Avoid contact with water prior to installation.
