Construction work today is often accompanied by the use of a covering grid. It acts as a protection of people and equipment from objects that fall outside the boundaries of the object. A piece of reinforcement or a brick flying from a height can be a real weapon that poses a serious danger.
A protective construction grid protects the facade and scaffolding from meteorological conditions, and the destructive effect on wooden and metal structural elements is minimized. This product does not interfere with air exchange and weathering of moisture.
Description
With the help of a decorative facade mesh, you can hide the unattractive view of the building, which is undergoing reconstruction. Sometimes new buildings take refuge in a grid so as not to disturb the architecture of the city. The grid is also used to fence pits, as well as ditches. It acts as the easiest and cheapest way to build fences, because without special difficulties, you can perform installation and dismantling. However, its use does not give rise to refuse personal protective equipment. Builders should wear helmets, vests, and safety glasses.
For the manufacture of a web that does not have seams, tape polyethylene is used. It has high pressure. It is based on a thread of high strength based on synthetic materials. The production process consists of nodular weaving, which guarantees fabric durability, therefore, when breaking, blooming does not occur.
A protective construction mesh can be cut to any size; no product edging is required. It saves parameters, mounting features and weave density. The material is resistant to mechanical stress, because it is subjected to special processing. It is immune to temperature fluctuations and humidity levels, and is also resistant to chemical attack.
Cloths are integral, they are fixed among themselves by clips. Some models have perimeter holes. They are needed to connect the nets using a cord. The material has a special structure that provides stretching by 15%.
Construction protective mesh has a high density of weaving. It reaches 35 g / m. This indicator is the minimum, while the maximum value is 200 g / m. In construction sites, a mesh with a density of 75 g / m is usually used. This ensures protective functions and prevents the fall of debris and building elements. A material with such a density has high wear resistance. It shows the ability to undergo mechanical stress and provides the ability to reuse the canvas.
If the construction protective mesh has a minimum density, then it is usually used to protect the facades of buildings of small areas. The material can be used about two times. The degree of damage and the life will determine the possibility of subsequent use.
Application area
The grid described above is intended for construction work. But resourceful citizens found her another use. For example, it is used as a plant protection from sunlight. Summer residents shelter trees and greenhouses with material, protecting greenery from birds, gusts of wind and hail.
The grid can serve as a shelter for bulk materials and cargo when they are transported by special vehicles. You can use the product for the construction of animal enclosures. An additional area of use is construction sites, where the grid acts as a visible fence. In ski resorts, the material is used to trace the border of the route.
Additional area of use - advertising
The covering grid may carry out an informational or advertising function. For this, a composite material with an image is attached to it. With the help of an inkjet printer, the inscriptions and drawings are persistent and bright. Logo printing can be done on a grid, which will attract new customers. With its help, you can declare yourself as a modern solid developer.
Description in terms of structure
Building facade protective mesh has cells, the size of which can be completely different. Manufacturers produce products with certain sizes. Usually the cells have a square shape with a side of 10 or 15 mm.
The manufacturing technology may be based on a certain principle of weaving, which allows you to get square or rectangular cells. On sale there is a fine-meshed material that has excellent shading. With increasing cell size, the throughput of the product increases.
Color palette
The building facade protective net has solid neutral shades, among them:
The palette does not affect the strength characteristics. Colors are usually discreet, which eliminates the introduction of disharmony in the architecture of the city. However, modern manufacturers practice the production of material in almost all colors of the rainbow. An exception is the bright orange color, which is intended for the mesh used as a fence for emergency sites. The selected area is visible from afar, which signals a danger.
Description in terms of functionality, convenience and durability
The mesh is based on durable polyethylene tapes or nylon threads. If damage to the web occurs, the gap will be local. The load from the mesh is not exerted on the structure, since it has a light weight. The material is not subjected to corrosion processes, which is caused by the absence of metal elements.
From the description of the protective building mesh, important information can be gleaned. For example, the material is functional. Its edges have a denser structure, they are equipped with holes and loops, with the help of which easy installation is ensured. Thanks to this structure, it becomes possible to combine several grids into a single canvas. Some products have lock loops. They are located in the center and exclude windage.
Building protective green mesh is convenient for transportation. The material is sold in rolls; it is convenient to store and store it. The width can be equal to a figure from 3 to 10 m, while the length is 100 m. The area of the material in one roll is equivalent to 75-400 m 2 . Package weight does not exceed 0.5 kg. By car, you can transfer up to 8 of these rolls. The canvas folds twice in width.
The material is also durable. This characteristic is ensured by high strength and special weaving, protected from tearing. If this happens, the damage will not spread further. You can use the material repeatedly. It has UV protection and protects structures from premature burnout. The mesh is resistant to alkalis and precipitation, and therefore can be used at any time of the year.
Description of dielectric and environmental characteristics
The protective front mesh for sheltering scaffolding is a dielectric. When reconstructing or building a building, quite often there is a question of safety when laying electrical communications. Polyethylene is not a conductive material, and therefore its use is free.
It does not distort the signals of radio waves and mobile communications. The camouflage front building protective grid is environmentally friendly. It retains building dust inside the object and does not allow it to spread in the atmosphere, as well as settle on the ground and the surface of water bodies. There are no toxic substances in the material.
Fasteners
Between themselves, the canvases are attached and fixed to the structures using additional elements, among which are:
- clamps;
- eyelets;
- nylon cord;
- synthetic cord.
Clamps are also called plastic ties and are used to fasten several strips together. Using them, you can carry out the installation of the material to the scaffolding or facade. The fixing interval is 30 cm.
The safety net for scaffolding can be attached using plastic clips called eyelets. They are used in cases where there are no working holes on the material. Such fastenings do not destroy the integrity of the product, and their installation is carried out after 1.5 m. The distance between the grommets can be reduced to a meter, the final value will depend on the wind load.
If you use double-sided butyl rubber tape and clamps at the same time, you can achieve special tightness. High tensile strength has a nylon polyester cord. It can interact with solvents, be used in adverse weather conditions and retains abrasion resistance during operation. Synthetic nylon cord has excellent strength indicators. It is resistant to chemicals in the form of reagents and perfectly resists abrasion.
Mesh mounting
The protective front mesh for scaffolding is usually mounted by specialized companies. This is done by industrial climbers who have practical skills and the required qualifications. They use the necessary equipment. Installation is carried out in a day, as loose zones can come off under the influence of gusts of wind. If all the conditions are met, the canvas will not tear and will adhere to the facade.
If you install the grid correctly, then it will be ready to last up to a year. Dismantling the material should be done carefully. At the same time, a gap can be avoided, which will allow the product to be reused. The use of protective building mesh provides for the location of the paintings in an upright position. However, if necessary, the material can be mounted horizontally.
Description of protective decorative mesh
When plastering works, a facade mesh with protective and decorative functions is used. It replaces the metal counterpart due to its light weight, ease of use and corrosion resistance. Fiberglass is impregnated with a polymer composition, which gives the material an alkali resistance.
Why is it worth using a protective and decorative mesh?
Such a product has high strength and gives the same properties of the finishing mixture. The layer is ultimately less susceptible to cracking, and the material adheres well to the surface during application. Protective decorative mesh has increased strength and elasticity, so you can apply it with a thick layer of plaster, without fear of delamination of the material and its rupture.
Finally
The protective mesh for sheltering scaffolding is treated with a special compound that prevents rotting of the material during operation. Cloths are easy to cut, so their use is very convenient. The material is easy to transport, install on scaffolding, as well as dismantle. There is no metal in the composition, so the structure is reliably protected from corrosion.
The grid can be used not only in construction, but also in agriculture. With its help, greenhouses, gardens, vegetable gardens and hotbeds are protected from birds and adverse external factors. The grid has found its use in shading balconies and verandas. It is used in the arrangement of fences, as well as the construction of fences in the sports field.
Products pass air well, tolerate ultraviolet radiation, do not differ in toxicity, therefore they are so useful and sometimes irreplaceable in different areas of human activity.
