With a roll size of 48mm wide, 60m or 75m or 90m long, GYRO self-adhesive fiberglass mesh tapes are manufactured to meet American standard ASTM C475. Its mesh consists of glassfibers interlocked in square pattern, coated one side with high quality alkali-resistant adhesive. The most oustanding features of GYRO fiberglass mesh tapes are attractive price and easy for working with, hence, most suitable for non-professional workers and do-it-yourselfers.
In advanced countries where gypsum wallboard industry has been developing for hundred years like in USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, etc., professional drywallers are recommended to use only self-adhesive fiberglass mesh tapes with plaster based jointing compounds to reinforce board joints of ceiling and drywall systems that have sturdy frame (often made of solid timber).
For systems made of steel frame (light gauge, more resilient, less strong compared with solid timber frame), drywallers should use MARCO perforated paper tapes and plaster based jointing compounds to treat the board joints in three separate coats (bedding coat, 1st coat, 2nd coat, 3rd coat) in order to ensure that the joints are strongest.
