South Sudan's construction sector is currently undergoing a rapid transition. Historically, building practices relied on basic mortar and brick, which often suffered from severe cracking due to extreme temperature fluctuations and the high alkalinity of local soil and water. The introduction of fiberglass mesh fabric has begun to replace traditional metal laths, offering a corrosion-free alternative that is critical in humid regions.
In Juba and other growing urban centers, there is a rising demand for fiberglass mesh for plastering. The local market is shifting away from makeshift reinforcement toward standardized, industrial-grade materials that can guarantee a smoother finish and higher tensile strength for commercial facades and government infrastructure.
Despite the growth, a significant challenge remains in the availability of specialized materials. Many contractors still struggle with inconsistent quality, making the adoption of certified drywall fiberglass mesh essential for interior partitioning in the growing hospitality and office sectors across the country.
