Why we use Chicken Mesh for Plastering?
To avoid cracks during plastering, we use chicken mesh to prevent cracks at the junction of various materials, for instance between the column and wall junction where the coefficient of thermal expansion of each materials differs and leads to this, the possibility of cracks following plastering are inevitable, which is why we employ chicken mesh.
Chicken mesh serves the same role similar to the reinforcement in concrete. It helps strengthen the plaster against forces . The main reason is to stop the crack caused by inadequate gaps filling RCC column and Brick wall joint.
We therefore put chicken mesh into the plastering . Due to this, there is an ideal bond between the finishing areas of RCC column and Brick wall.
Chicken mesh from the old the plaster used to avoid cracks and also to keep the plaster in place should the home suffer from settlement. The mesh can also help fight cracks that result from the twisting of the plaster laths. These days, I employ galvanized wire mesh that is screwed onto old wooden lath to safeguard my repair from cracking.

Applications for Chicken Mesh as a Plastering Material
The use of chicken mesh in Plastering are discussed in this blog post. Chicken Mesh is used in plastering to stop cracks. Concretes are characterized by expanding and contracting.
It expands during heat and contracts upon cooling. The space between the Walls, RCC Structures, and the is filled in by fixing Chicken Mesh before the plastering process. It is fixed to the connecting surfaces of beams, columns and walls.
When building RCC structures, following the casting of beams, columns and slabs, the walls rise. Brickwork or Blockwork is used spaces between beams, columns and slabs on the outside. Also, it is used to construct all kinds of partition walls in structures. After block or brick construction the plastering process is completed.
The columns sides that touch walls is hacking properly. Hacking is a method that makes a smooth concrete surface rough. It provides a solid bond between RCC surfaces walls, walls and Plastering.
The mesh is hexagonal. It also has a structure that resembles honeycomb. This is what makes it durable. It also gives it longevity. It is made from galvanized iron. It is produced in coils. It cuts running maters in accordance with the length requirements. Minimum 100 millimeters the width.
It stops the formation of cracks in columns, wall junctions and joints. This decreases the chance of cracks forming within walls in the future. This is similar to reinforcement used in concrete. It strengthens the plastering in junctions and joints.

Applications for Chicken Mesh for Plastering
Chicken mesh is utilized in the interior plastering. This is the most effective method for interiors due to major pipelines used for electrical conduits and water lines are located within walls of the interior. This prevents cracks that occur due to electrical conduits being laid in the wall through grove cutting. Incorrect handling of switchboards result in damage to electrical conduits which cause cracks to form on walls.
All waterlines that pass through these walls cause little vibrations as a result of pressure. Incorrect control of water taps can cause damage to the water pipe lines, which results in the formation of cracks on walls.
It is used when the thickness of the plaster is greater than 15 Cm. It should not be used in areas with a thickness less then 15 Cm. It causes hair crakes when the thickness of the plaster is lower.
When plastering exteriors, the chicken mesh isn't utilized. It is at risk of forming rust. If there is rust within it, the plastering will begin to fall. It is recommended to be fixed in cases where the thickness of the mesh is exceeds 20 millimeters.
