Afghanistan's construction sector currently faces significant challenges due to extreme continental climates, where temperatures swing violently between summer and winter. This thermal stress often leads to severe cracking in traditional cement-based plasters. The introduction of fiberglass mesh for plastering has become essential for mitigating these fractures in cities like Kabul and Herat.
Geographically, the region is prone to seismic activity, necessitating materials that offer high tensile strength and flexibility. The reliance on traditional mud-brick or low-grade concrete is shifting toward reinforced systems. The adoption of fiberglass mesh fabric provides the necessary structural integrity to ensure that wall surfaces remain intact during minor tremors.
Furthermore, the alkaline nature of local cement types accelerates the degradation of standard reinforcements. This makes the use of specialized alkali resistant fiberglass mesh non-negotiable for long-term durability, ensuring that the mesh does not dissolve within the mortar over time.
