Equatorial Guinea's geography, characterized by heavy rainfall and extreme humidity, creates a challenging environment for traditional masonry. Moisture penetration often leads to premature cracking in plaster layers, necessitating the use of fiberglass mesh for plastering to stabilize surfaces and prevent shrinkage cracks.
The local construction sector has traditionally relied on basic mortar mixes, but the rise of urban development in Malabo and Bata has increased the demand for professional-grade fiberglass mesh fabric. Standard meshes often degrade due to the alkaline nature of local cement, making specialized coatings essential.
As the region pushes for more durable public infrastructure, there is a critical shift toward materials that can maintain structural integrity despite constant thermal expansion and contraction caused by the tropical heat, driving the adoption of reinforced composite solutions.
