Mesh for installation to bentonite tape

The Bentonite Strip Fixing Mesh is a profiled U-shaped steel element designed to match standard Water&Stop bentonite strips. It provides linear guidance for the strip on the concrete surface, helping keep the bentonite in the designed construction joint area. The profile surrounds the strip and presses it against the substrate, reducing the risk of movement, lifting or damage during reinforcement installation and concreting. This helps maintain continuity of the sealing system and reduces the risk of uncontrolled water paths. The galvanized surface improves corrosion resistance under construction site conditions, while mechanical fixing makes preparation of construction joints easier.

Applications of the Bentonite Strip Fixing Mesh

The fixing mesh is designed for stable installation of swelling sealing strips in construction joint areas.

• fixing bentonite strips to horizontal and vertical concrete surfaces,
• protecting the strip against movement during concreting of foundations and reinforced concrete walls,
• installing sealing strips in construction joints of foundation slabs, underground walls and tanks,
• use as an alternative to metal channels for fixing bentonite strips,
• use with bentonite strips as part of a construction joint sealing system.
