Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use fiberglass mesh with Basecrete?
Use fiberglass mesh when reinforcing cracks, corners, transitions, or any high-stress areas that need additional structural support. It enhances tensile strength and stability when used with Basecrete Original or Xtreme.
Can the mesh be used in wet or damp conditions?
Yes, the fiberglass mesh is coated with resin polymers that resist the alkalinity found in cementitious environments, making it suitable for damp or wet applications when embedded in Basecrete.
What size mesh roll should I choose for my project?
The choice depends on the area you need to reinforce:
Use 4” rolls for fine cracks or joints.
9.5” rolls are ideal for corners and medium surface reinforcement.
38” rolls work best for wide areas or full-surface overlays.
Do I need to let the mesh cure or dry before applying additional layers?
No, the mesh is embedded directly into the wet Basecrete bond coat. Once applied and smoothed in place, you can immediately coat over it with a second layer of Basecrete for a strong, continuous membrane.
Where can I purchase Basecrete Xtreme?
Basecrete Mesh is available through over 4,000 dealers in the U.S. You can find a distributor using the Basecrete Find A Distributor locator map.

Basecrete Original is a waterproof bondcoat system for use in all applications where a solid and durable waterproof barrier is required. It’s applied as a kit consisting of one bucket and 3 bags.
Basecrete Intercept is a highly penetrating, highly viscous concrete densifier, to be used as the Pool, Shell, Primary, Waterproofing. It bonds with the free Calcium and Lime within the concrete, transforming itself into a dense waterproof barrier.
Basecrete Xtreme is a high-performance waterproof bondcoat system ideal for ICF/EPS and CMU block applications, where it forms a durable barrier against water intrusion. Designed to simplify installation, it eliminates the need for mesh. Supplied as a kit (one bucket of Basecrete Original and 3 Xtreme bags), it delivers reliable protection with a crack-resistant finish.
