Tex is a linear mass density unit indicating weight in grams per 1000 meters of yarn. Simply put, a higher Tex number means a thicker, stronger yarn. For example, a 200tex yarn is significantly stronger than a 45tex yarn
In a plain weave, warp and weft yarns simply pass over and under each other. In a Leno weave, two or more warp yarns are twisted around the weft yarns, locking them in place. This creates exceptional dimensional stability and prevents mesh opening and yarn drifting under stress or during mortar application.
According to standard methods, a strip of mesh 5 centimeters wide and of sufficient length (typically 20cm) is placed in a tension testing machine. The maximum force (in Newtons) the sample withstands before failure is reported as the tensile strength. Therefore, a value of 1500 N/5cm means a 5cm wide strip of that mesh can withstand at least 1500 Newtons of force.
Yes, all products in this catalog can be manufactured with a special Alkali Resistant (AR) coating. This zirconia-based coating protects the glass fibers from the high pH of the cementitious matrix, guaranteeing long-term durability. Please specify this requirement when ordering.
Absolutely. One of the strengths of Atlas GROUP is our flexibility in manufacturing based on customer order. Changes in roll width, weight, mesh size, coating resin type, and coloration (white, yellow, blue, green, etc.) are fully possible. Contact our sales engineering team
Travertine is a porous sedimentary stone, while marble is a dense metamorphic rock. Travertine offers warmer tones and better slip resistance
Use pH-neutral stone cleaners (pH 7-8) with immediate drying of wet surfaces.
Yes, with leathered finish and nano-sealer for grease and stain resistance
Low-porosity Marmarite like Dehbid with leathered finish and nano-sealer
Yes, with proper selection of low-porosity type, appropriate sealer, and correct maintenance
Marmarite has lower metamorphic grade, lower price, and greater color variety
Use specialized stone cleaners + baking soda paste
Yes, with selection of low-porosity type, leathered or honed finish, and nano anti-grease sealer
Limestone is primary sedimentary stone; marble is metamorphosed limestone. Marble is harder and less porous
Use UV-Resistant sealers and stones with high calcium carbonate percentage
3 cm for light traffic, 4 cm for heavy traffic.
White polymer adhesive with minimum 2 MPa tensile strength
One 10 mm expansion joint with elastic material every 10 meters
