Telling Brick Mesh

The use of Telling Brick Mesh, expanded stainless steel mesh coated with nodules of fired clay, is recommended where there is a likelihood of structural movement, and for application over timber framed areas, large voids, suspended ceilings, and differential backgrounds. Telling Brick Mesh is an expanded stainless steel mesh coated with nodules of clay, which are fired onto the intersections of the mesh, to ensure fusion of lime mortar to the natural mineral. The use of Telling Brick Mesh produces a mineral bond in addition to the physical key, ensuring the adhesion of the mortar to the mesh. Telling Brick Mesh can be moulded and shaped for formation of features, cornices and architectural profiles. Stainless steel fixings should be used to ensure the secure fixing of the mesh to the substrate. Telling Brick Mesh is supplied in rolls of 1.05m x 6m, with a nominal thickness of 7mm.

Properties/Benefits: Telling Brick Mesh is easily moulded into shape and retains shape/form, saves mortar in comparison to traditional laths, double bonded through mineral and mechanical bonding of plaster, and can be plastered by hand or mechanically.

Uses: Suspended Ceilings. Repair of e.g. Cracks. Stainless steel lathing, Restoration of church vaults, humid areas, swimming pools, exterior fa?des and internal plasters (including lath and plaster) with or without insulation, architectural features, water park ornaments and simulated rock formations.
