Arcamesh Reinforcing fabric for waterproofing and repairing roof and roof parts
Different roll sizes are available to adapt to different needs.
ARCAMESH is a reinforcing isotropic polyester fabric used in conjunction with ARCAROOF, ARCADECK or ARCATHANE.
ARCAMESH will consolidate those areas particularly vulnerable and subject to water ingress - from cracks to flashings to construction joints.
ARCAMESH is used to repair cracks and breaks present on a wide variety of surfaces: all types of flashings (eave, apron, gable flashings, etc.), cement or panels used on roofs, gutters, parapet walls, drainpipes, dormers, all masonry joints, construction and expansion joints,roof tiles and shingles.
Durable and reinforced protection of all your roof flashings: chimney flashings, gable flashings, ventpipe flashings, valley flashings, roof intersections.
Arcamesh Reinforcing Fabric Advantages:
- Flexibility allows the substrate to move (in any direction) without breaking the water barrier
- Increases the tensile strength and mechanical resistance of the waterproof coating
- Easily applied or rolled out on small or large surface areas
Repairs roof tiles, reinforces the waterproofing of parapets, reinforces the waterproof membrane applied over cracks or widely cracked surfaces.

Arcamesh to be used with:
Arcamesh can be used with all waterproof liquid resin based such as:
Isotropic polyester mesh to reinforce waterproofing on roofs and terraces.
Arcamesh is used to repair cracks and breaks present on a wide variety of surfaces: all types of flashings (eave, apron, gable flashings, etc.), cement or panels used on roofs, gutters, parapet walls, drainpipes, dormers and all masonry joints, construction and expansion joints
Waterproofing system is designed to repair and waterproof a large roof and/or those roof parts which are particularly vulnerable to cracking or crazing and water infiltration.
Instructions for useNote: The application instructions are given using Arcaroof. Refer to the different product technical data sheets for application instructions when Arcamesh is used with Arcathane or Arcadeck.

Thoroughly clean all active cracks to be treated of all dust, dirt or foreign particles. The crack should be opened up to be at least 10mm wide and 15mm deep. Apply a primer coat (50% ARCAROOF / 50% water) and let dry. Apply a thick coat of undiluted ARCAROOF to each side of the crack and immediately press a cut-to-size strip of ARCAMESH into the freshly applied coating. The strip of isotropic mesh should cover the crack completely (overlapping it on all sides). Apply a 2nd coat of undiluted ARCAROOF over the ARCAMESH, firmly embedding the reinforcing mesh between the 2 coats. | Apply a diluted coat of ARCAROOF (50% ARCAROOF/ 50% water) and let dry. Apply a thick coat of undiluted product and roll on the strips of ARCAMESH, pressing each strip into the freshly applied 1st coat. Using a flat plastic trowel, flatten the mesh into the Arcaroof, moving from the centre to the outside corners and chasing out any air bubbles. IMPORTANT: The strips must overlap each other by at least 2 to 3 cm on both sides. Apply a 2nd coat of ARCAROOF and let dry. | Apply a primer coat (50 /50 ARCAROOF/water).
Once dry, apply a thick coat of ARCAROOF over the crack or flashing and place a cut-to-size strip of ARCAMESH (largely covering the crack /flashing and the surrounding surface), into the freshly applied coat.
Apply a top coat of ARCAROOF embedding the ARCAMESH between the 2 coats.
drying time: approximately 6 | Apply a polyurethane sealant to the joint. Smooth the sealant and level the sealed joint.
Apply a primer coat over the horizontal and vertical surfaces surrounding the joint (50/50 ARCAROOF or ARCADECK/water) and let dry.
Apply a thick coat of undiluted product to the vertical surface and roll down the ARCAMESH to the joint, firmly embedding it into the fresh coat of ARCAROOF.
Apply a topcoat of ARCAROOF over the mesh on the vertical surface.
Once the vertical surface has been treated, roll the ARCAMESH down and over the horizontal surface. Repeat the instructions (3) and (4) above for application on the horizontal surface. |
