Knowledge Base

FAQs

What is Magicrete Power Mesh used for?

Magicrete Power Mesh is utilized as bed joint reinforcement in horizontal AAC masonry joints, enhancing wall stability, reducing thermal cracks, and increasing flexural strength.

What materials are used to make Magicrete Power Mesh?

The mesh is made from a fabric that weighs 350 GSM, providing durability and resistance to stress.

What is the mesh size of Magicrete Power Mesh?

The mesh size is 5mm x 5mm, ideal for effective reinforcement in building constructions.

What are the standard dimensions of Magicrete Power Mesh rolls?

The standard roll lengths are 25 meters, with a tolerance of 1%, and widths available in 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm.

What are the breaking strength specifications for Magicrete Power Mesh?

Both the warp and weft have a breaking strength of 3200 N/mm², ensuring high tensile strength.

How does Magicrete Power Mesh contribute to building durability?

The mesh increases tensile and flexural strength, enhances bonding between AAC blocks and mortar, and helps control cracks, leading to more durable and stable constructions.

Is the installation of Magicrete Power Mesh user-friendly?

Yes, the mesh is designed for easy workability, simplifying the handling and installation process during construction.

How does Magicrete Power Mesh impact the overall cost of construction?

By increasing the longevity and performance of AAC blocks, it reduces maintenance and repair costs, making it a cost-effective solution for building projects.

How should Power Mesh be stored?

Store Power Mesh away from continuous water contact. Ensure it's dry before use, and stack layers alternately every 3-4 layers to avoid corner chipping, with stacking height not exceeding 1.2/1.5 meters.

What are the key steps in pre-work preparation for using Power Mesh?

Use a minimum block thickness of 100 mm for internal walls and 150-200 mm for external walls. Plan the layout and count the blocks beforehand, and moisten blocks with a wet brush 24 hours before masonry.

How should mortar be prepared when using Power Mesh?

For AAC masonry, either traditional mortar or specially formulated thin bed mortar can be used. For traditional mortar, maintain a 1:6 Cement: Sand ratio, and apply it at 10mm to 15mm thickness for flexibility.

What is the correct method for laying masonry with Power Mesh?

Avoid soaking blocks; instead, moisten them with a wet brush. Start with corner blocks first and check uniformity with a level-o-meter. Ensure at least a 1/3rd overlap in masonry patterns.

How is the curing process handled for Power Mesh masonry?

Unlike traditional masonry, AAC blocks require curing only at the traditional mortar joints for up to 7 days, twice daily using a nozzle sprayer to ensure sufficient moisture for the mortar.

How should nominal bond beams be integrated with Power Mesh?

Install bond beams every 1200 mm (or every 5-6 layers) with 2 TMT bars of 8 mm diameter and a 6 mm diameter stirrup, ensuring the rods extend at least 60 mm around columns.

What should be done for top and side layers in Power Mesh masonry?

Seal these joints using polyurethane foam or lean mortar and leave 10-20 mm gaps at the wall's top, which are filled after 2 weeks to prevent cracks from structural deformation.

How should joints of dissimilar materials be handled?

Isolate contact surfaces using lean mortar or PU foam before plastering and apply chicken mesh or fibre mesh at critical points like door and window corners to prevent plaster cracks.
