Iraq's geography presents unique challenges for the construction sector, characterized by intense summer heat and significant temperature fluctuations. These conditions often lead to severe thermal expansion and contraction in concrete and plaster, making the use of high-quality fiberglass mesh for plastering essential to prevent surface cracking and structural degradation.
Moreover, the high alkalinity of the soil and groundwater in many Iraqi regions poses a chemical threat to traditional reinforcement. The industry has shifted towards utilizing alkali resistant fiberglass mesh, which maintains its tensile strength and structural stability even when embedded in high-pH cementitious environments.
As Iraq undergoes rapid urban reconstruction and infrastructure development, there is a growing demand for efficiency. This has led to the adoption of self adhesive fiberglass mesh, allowing contractors to speed up the installation process in drywall and EIFS projects without compromising on quality.
