Portfolio: Example-1 - image 06 of 22
This image depicts me applying thin strips of mesh to some of the deepest cracks in the exposed brickwork. This is one method used to prevent cracks appearing in the finished plaster work. Ideally, if I was supplying the materials, I'd have used a sheet fibre glass mesh on the entire exposed birckwork area. This "whole area method" is the current best available means to prevent cracks appearing. However sometimes you have to improvise in order to stick to a certain budget.
