Any reason why

[gooner59]

the mesh in EWI systems can't be re-placed by fibres in the mix ?? it would save a fair bit of messing about !!......

maybe save time but defo not saving on moneys

Fibres are way cheaper than mesh.

Alumasc use a range of fibres in their products already......in conjunction with mesh.

There is no EWI system (to my limited knowledge) that has successfully used fibres alone, they all require a mesh of some description. Thermal mass and building movement etc

we have only done one system without mesh, and i can not even remember the name of it.
you bolted a steel cage to the wall then slid the insulation in to the cage. you then rendered it.

perm a rock tried a system about 15 years ago where you soaked a bag of fibres in a bucket of water for 20 mins then added them to the powder,alsorts of promlems,that why its not around now.

If it was the same system I have worked with,it was called structherm.
