Attention to detail ensures the ultimate aesthetic appeal on any building project from selecting the right lighting design right down to the finishing products used for walls, ceilings, windows and doors.

Mentis Africa, specialist in providing durable flooring and handrailing solutions, offers a range of supplementary building products to ensure ultimate finished quality.

Manufactured from quality galvanised steel sheet which is expanded into mesh, Mentis Angle Beads are designed for internal and exterior plaster use. Expanded metal flange wings anchor securely in the full depth of plaster on either side of the arris.

This product provides exterior corner protection and a reliably straight edge for screeding and for forming an arris in plasterwork which resists chipping or cracking. It is ideal for use on all plastered or rendered corners and protects and reinforces plaster where it is most vulnerable.

The metal corner bead is particularly suitable for forming straight edges and exterior corners when plastering for columns.

Mentis Africa Riblath has a number of uses including a plaster backing on ceilings, walls and stud partitions as well as a permanent shuttering for concrete and for refurbishing damaged or aged masonry walls when a key for rendering is not guaranteed due to disintegration or softening of the wall face.

Riblath has also been used in mining application where ventilation shafts need to be closed off for safety. A false wall is created using Riblath as the medium, the walls can be put in place and removed when required for maintenance.

Mentis Africa Riblath is reinforced with herring bone patterned longitudinal ribs to provide greater tensile strength and offer a high degree key of mechanical bonding with plaster or render for an excellent plaster base for all types of walls and ceilings, and fireproofing of steel beam and columns.

Serving as a guide for plastering and as reinforcement at the corner of a wall before plastering, Mentis Africa Plaster Stop also provides a straight edge and finish for plaster at all openings and abutments.

This product is recommended wherever plastered walls finish against tiles, face bricks, skirting, exposed steelwork, and woodwork and it protects and reinforces the plaster whilst providing a neat finish.

Mentis Africa Mentlath 213 provides a key and reinforcement for plaster to minimise cracking. Used where gunite is applied, it is the accepted means of keying plaster or vermiculite to steelwork when fireproofing a steel building and is galvanised to prevent corrosion.

Mentex Corner Mesh comprises general purpose galvanised reinforcement strips used in plaster where cracking is likely to occur due to shrinkage.

Mentex Strip Mesh is used along lines of potential weakness such as door and window frame corners and as a backing for plaster over narrow gaps such as service chases. In addition, it is used as a plaster reinforcing to prevent cracking around airbricks and vents, and as a bond between dissimilar materials at crack-prone areas.
