 INSTALLATION

The Terramesh is embedded into fresh Styrobond DP basecoat applied at a thickness of 1.5-2.0mm, overlapping 10cm at all edges, and allowed to set. Once cured, and the rest of the System Components (window trims etc.) have been installed, a final coat of Styrobond DP is applied to achieve an overall thickness of 3-4mm, before the decorative finishing can commence.

It is also recommended to:

  • Use Terramesh to reinforce corners of all openings such as doors, windows, recessed features by applying a second layer of mesh diagonally.
  • Apply a second coat of Terramesh / Styrobond DP basecoat to high traffic areas to increase the impact resistance of the system.
