structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To understand what reinforcing render is, it is important to understand the process of rendering. Rendering in construction means applying a protective layer on the exterior of the wall. This layer normally consists of cement, sand and water. The purpose of render is to protect the wall, increase insulation, increase home value and improve the overall look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reinforcing render means strengthening the render by using various materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Purpose_of_Reinforcing_Renderings\"><\/span><strong>Purpose of Reinforcing Renderings<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reinforcing renderings are very useful for the overall structure of the building.

These openings are the reason why metal mesh laths are used for reinforcing renders. They allow better bounding and correct embedment. There are different types of metal mesh laths such as<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flat_Diamond\"><\/span><strong>Flat Diamond\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flat diamond lath is generally 3mm thick, 686mm wide and 2348 mm long. It weighs around 1.2kg to 1.9 kg. The render will bond due to the furring mechanism. This type of render is mostly used for wood or metal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strip\"><\/span><strong>Strip\u00a0<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Strip lath is also used for reinforcing renderings.
