In Oman, the construction sector faces severe challenges due to extreme temperature fluctuations and high humidity in coastal cities like Muscat and Salalah. The use of fiberglass mesh fabric has become essential to mitigate the risk of thermal cracking in External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS).
Traditional mortar applications often fail under the intense UV radiation and saline air of the Gulf region. This has led to a surge in demand for fiberglass mesh for plastering, which provides the necessary tensile strength to hold plaster layers together during rapid drying cycles.
Currently, the Omani market is shifting towards rapid installation methods. The adoption of self adhesive fiberglass mesh is increasing in interior renovations and drywall projects to reduce labor costs and project timelines in the booming residential sector.
