Construction Fiberglass Applications

Vetrotex fiberglass yarns are used in construction applications because they add strength, are naturally fire resistant, do not elongate or shrink and do not decay. 

Uses included: 

Mesh fabrics
Vetrotex fiberglass yarns are used for production of mesh fabrics. Because of its properties like high tensile strength, low elongation and alkali resistance, mesh fabric can be used for facade reinforcement and for prevention of cracks in interior walls. Mesh fabrics are a critical component of insulation systems. 

Dry wall tapes
Self-adhesive tapes are used for increasing joint strength and for quick and easy drywall and repair solutions.

Wall covering
Fiberglass wall covering is used for finishing of walls, decoration, renovation of walls and ceilings and as a fire protection. It can be also painted. 

Laid scrim
Scrim is a reinforcing fabric made from continuous filament yarn in an open mesh construction. The laid scrim manufacturing process chemically bonds non-woven yarns together which gives the scrim unique characteristics. Scrims can be used in various applications and products.

Flooring
Vetrotex fiberglass yarns are used for reinforcement of various floor coverings. The advantages are high tensile and puncture resistance for heavy traffic products and also dimensional stability for PVC, TPO and other materials.
