Dryvit AquaFlash Mesh

Overview

A specially woven and treated glass fiber mesh is used with Dryvit base coats to provide strength and impact resistance. Strength and durability are a direct result of the weight of the mesh applied. When embedded in the Dryvit base coat mixture, the glass fiber reinforcing mesh provides continuity of surface to resist cracking and to increase impact resistance. A non-woven blend mesh fabric used in conjunction with AquaFlash Liquid and AquaFlash Corners to seal substrates around windows, doors and other openings.
