In Spain, the construction industry faces unique challenges due to extreme temperature fluctuations between the coastal regions and the interior plateau. The frequent use of high-alkali cement in traditional plastering requires the integration of fiberglass mesh fabric to prevent the degradation of the reinforcement layer over time.
The shift towards energy-efficient buildings in Madrid and Barcelona has increased the demand for External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS). This transition makes fiberglass mesh for plastering an essential component to mitigate the risk of surface cracking caused by thermal stress.
Currently, Spanish contractors are prioritizing rapid installation and material longevity. The adoption of specialized meshes ensures that facades remain aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound despite the intense UV exposure and salinity found in Mediterranean coastal areas.
