In the modern market of goods and services, it is very difficult to keep track of all the new products, for example, fiberglass reinforcement appeared relatively recently, which managed to to prove itself from the positive side.
Concrete is a durable material for pouring foundations and other purposes, but to enhance its properties, a screed is needed, for these purposes, reinforcement made of fiberglass is perfect.
In this article, you will learn how to knit fiberglass reinforcement with your own hands.
Fiberglass reinforcement is a mixture of strong fiberglass and heat-resistant resin, stretched into bundles.
In 2012, GOST was approved, clearly regulating the requirements for the product:
(MP - the maximum tensile strength of the reinforcement - the indicator of the force of its cross-sectional area when the material is stretched);
Fiberglass reinforcement in a short period of time managed to prove itself as a worthy bonding material that is not inferior metal alternative, and even has a number of advantages over it.
TIP! First, you will need to calculate how much reinforcement you need and take with a small margin
Let's not ignore the shortcomings of this material, he also has them:
In the event of a breakdown, there is a high probability of the formation of sharp edges and "burrs", which can injure yourself and leave a splinter.
Before starting work, it is necessary to decide and clear what loads will be performed by the strip foundation and the planned scope of work.
The easiest way to knit fiberglass reinforcement with your own hands can be considered knitting with the use of polyethylene clamps. The rods are fastened to each other at a right angle (90 degrees) by means of plastic clamps, the tails of which are cut off later for convenience.
This method is perfect if the mesh is knitted on the foundation of a small structure. There is no need to buy special equipment and materials for knitting.
In order to tie fiberglass reinforcement for more serious buildings, you will need a metal wire (section 1 mm), a crochet hook and the reinforcement itself.
Getting started:
We fold the wire in two and tie it tightly with a hook. (If clamps are used, then you must tighten them tightly)
IMPORTANT! When knitting, special attention must be paid when knitting corners.
In specialized hardware stores, you can purchase elements for connecting structures to each other, which can be easily installed in place of corners.
Knitting of fiberglass reinforcement is not a complicated process that can be carried out independently, the main thing is to follow all the technology and then even a beginner in this business will not have any difficulties.
