Cameroon's construction landscape is characterized by a mix of rapid urbanization in cities like Douala and Yaoundé and traditional building methods in rural areas. The high tropical humidity and frequent rainfall lead to significant thermal expansion and contraction, making the use of fiberglass mesh for plastering essential to prevent surface cracking.
Local builders often struggle with the alkalinity of cement used in regional mixes, which can degrade standard reinforcements. This has created a surging demand for alkali resistant fiberglass mesh that can maintain its structural integrity within the wet concrete matrix over decades.
Furthermore, the rise of modern drywall installations in commercial sectors has introduced the need for specialized drywall fiberglass mesh to ensure seamless jointing and long-term stability against the regional moisture levels.
