Crack reinforcement fabrics: define the repair scope first
Choose a crack reinforcement fabric after identifying the finish defect and the intended repair system. A surface crack and an active structural movement problem are not the same repair brief.

Selection considerations
Record crack location, substrate changes and the proposed coating or plaster system. Ask for the fabric's intended application and compatible embedding material. Keep structural assessment outside the scope of a finish-repair product description.
Confirm material dimensions and the approved preparation sequence. Obtain a sample detail for corners and transitions where necessary. If movement remains unresolved, do not present the fabric as a universal crack-prevention solution. Preserve the selected product and repair-system references for future inspection and maintenance.
Before you specify or order
- Identify the defect and substrate
- Confirm the repair-system materials
- Escalate unresolved movement to the designer

Common question
Does reinforcement fabric repair structural movement?
Not by itself. Its role must be established within the approved repair detail.
