Product Information

Full details

The Walther Strong HD Rebarflex is designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, durable alternative to heavy steel reinforcement mesh for concrete and screed projects. Its primary benefit is providing 62% better crack prevention while being significantly lighter and faster to install, though users should note that it requires specific overlap techniques to maintain structural integrity compared to rigid steel panels.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this for a heavy-duty driveway?

Yes, it is designed for residential and light-commercial driveways provided the concrete depth and sub-base are prepared to professional standards.

Is it safe to handle without gloves?

It is recommended to wear protective gloves, as fiberglass materials can cause skin irritation during handling.

Does this mesh rust like steel?

No, the ALKAMAXX coating makes it completely resistant to rust and corrosion even in highly alkaline concrete.

How much should I overlap the sheets?

A standard overlap of 150mm to 300mm is recommended for most applications to ensure structural continuity.

Can this be used with screed?

Yes, Rebarflex is highly effective in screed applications for reinforcing floors and preventing surface cracks.

Do I need to tie the mesh together?

While the mesh is stable, you can use standard plastic cable ties at the overlap points to keep it perfectly aligned during the pour.

Troubleshooting

Mesh rolling back up during installation

Place small weights or pegs at the corners to hold the material flat until concrete is poured.

Difficulty cutting with standard scissors

Use heavy-duty construction shears or a sharp utility knife against a stable wooden backing.

Mesh appearing wavy after unrolling

Ensure the sub-base is leveled properly; the mesh will flatten out once the weight of the concrete is applied.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Immune to rust and corrosion thanks to ALKAMAXX coating
  • Lightweight and ergonomic for single-person handling
  • Easy to cut and trim with standard hand tools
  • Provides significantly better crack prevention than traditional steel
  • Ideal for underfloor heating as it does not interfere with thermal conduction

Cons

  • Requires careful overlapping to ensure proper load distribution
  • Lacks the inherent rigidity of steel mesh during the initial pour
  • Must be stored in a dry place to prevent degradation of the roll packaging

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, clear the area of debris and level the sub-base. Unroll the mesh across the surface and secure it using appropriate fixings if necessary. When joining sections, ensure an overlap of at least 150mm to 300mm to maintain continuous reinforcement. For care, keep the rolls stored in their original packaging until use to protect the integrity of the fiberglass fibers. Avoid walking on the mesh excessively once it is in position to prevent accidental deformation before the concrete is applied.
