In recent years, with the continuous improvement of requirements for project quality and durability in the construction industry, fiberglass mesh, relying on its excellent crack resistance and anti-corrosion performance, has become a core auxiliary material in key links such as wall insulation and tile bonding, effectively solving problems such as wall cracking and tile falling off that are prone to occur in traditional buildings.
At the construction site of an assembled building project in Chengdu, Engineer Wang, the technical director, said: "Compared with traditional steel wire mesh, fiberglass mesh weighs only 1/5 of the former and has good acid and alkali corrosion resistance. In the construction of external wall insulation layers, it can fit closely with insulation materials, greatly reducing the risk of wall cracking. At present, all external walls of this project are reinforced with fiberglass mesh, which improves the construction efficiency by 20% and is expected to extend the service life of the building's external walls by more than 15 years."
From the perspective of product application scenarios, fiberglass mesh has expanded from the traditional construction field to new energy, transportation facilities and other fields. In the construction of photovoltaic power station roofs, high-strength fiberglass mesh can enhance the tensile capacity of the roof waterproof layer and adapt to complex outdoor climates; in highway subgrade reinforcement projects, its excellent anti-aging performance can effectively improve subgrade stability. According to the industry report, in the first half of 2025, the domestic fiberglass mesh market scale reached 5.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28%, of which the application proportion in the new energy field exceeded 15%, becoming the fastest-growing segment market.
Industry experts pointed out that with the advancement of green buildings and new infrastructure construction, fiberglass mesh will be upgraded towards high toughness and lightweight. In the future, functional products suitable for different scenarios will also be developed to further meet the high-end needs of various industries for material performance and provide support for the high-quality development of the construction and engineering fields.
