Masonry and concrete expand and contract differently with temperature changes, causing stress and potential cracks at joints. Traditional methods use galvanized iron or fiberglass mesh embedded in the plaster to prevent cracks, but these have mixed reviews on their effectiveness and as well as additional costs and time required for application
I am considering the use of polypropylene fiber as a reinforcing additive to the plaster as an alternative approach and seek expert advice on whether this approach would be at least as effective as the conventional methods.
