Armatex-99 / Armatop-99 - 50 m Reinforcement Mesh Roll
Armatex-99 / Armatop-99: 50 m reinforcement mesh roll
Armatex-99 / Armatop-99 is a reinforcing mesh designed to reinforce facade renders and mortars. It is embedded in the base coat to distribute the stresses caused by substrate movement and temperature changes, which are the usual cause of cracking in a continuous render.
Supplied in a 50 m roll. Like any base coat reinforcement, its effectiveness depends entirely on where it ends up: it must sit inside the mortar, in the outer third of the layer, and never rest directly on the substrate.
✅ Main advantages
- Distributes stress: reduces the risk of cracking in the continuous render.
- Reinforces critical points: essential at the corners of openings, junctions and changes of material.
- Long roll: 50 m per roll, with fewer overlaps on site.
- Easy to handle: cuts with scissors or a utility knife and adapts to the geometry of the facade.
- Compatible with the base coat: embeds in fresh mortar with no prior treatment.
🏗️ Recommended applications
- Reinforcing the base coat of facade renders and mortars.
- Reinforcing the corners of windows and doors, where most cracks start.
- Junctions between different materials and changes of substrate.
- Refurbishment of facades with continuous render.
📋 Technical specifications
- Type: reinforcing mesh (reinforcement) for renders.
- Supply: 50 m roll.
- Placement: embedded in the mortar base coat, in the outer third of its thickness.
- Overlaps: between adjacent strips, plus diagonal reinforcements at the corners of openings.
- Material, weight per square metre, roll width, mesh opening size and tensile strength: not published on the Sika España website. Refer to the documentation of the system it is part of.
🧰 Instructions for use
- Check that the substrate is clean, firm and levelled as required by the render.
- Apply the first pass of the base coat at the thickness specified by the mortar manufacturer.
- Place the mesh over the fresh mortar and press it in with the trowel until it is embedded.
- Overlap adjacent strips and reinforce the corners of windows and doors diagonally.
- Cover the mesh with the second pass of mortar until no fibre is visible.
- Allow the base coat to harden before applying the finish.
- Avoid working in rain, strong wind, intense direct sun or when there is a risk of frost.
🛡️ Standards and certificates
- Reinforcement accessory for facade render systems.
- Performance is justified for the complete system (mortar + reinforcement), not for the mesh on its own.
- Sika España does not publish a separate Data Sheet for this item on its website.
📦 Supply formats
- 50 m roll.
- Rolls per box or per pallet: not stated.
💡 Professional tip: a mesh laid against the substrate and covered in one go with a single pass of mortar reinforces nothing: it ends up stuck to the backing, exactly where it does not work. Always apply two passes, press the mesh into the first while it is still fresh and bring the finish over the top. And don't skimp on the corners of openings: a 30 x 50 cm diagonal strip at each corner avoids most crack-related complaints.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Armatex-99 / Armatop-99 mesh used for?
It is a reinforcing mesh for facade renders and mortars. It is embedded in the base coat to distribute stresses and reduce the risk of cracking in the continuous render.
How long is the roll?
It is supplied in a 50 m roll. The roll width, weight per square metre and mesh opening size are not listed in the data sheet, so we recommend consulting the documentation of the system it is part of.
How is the mesh installed?
Apply a first pass of mortar, place the mesh over the fresh mortar and press it in with the trowel until it is embedded. Overlap adjacent strips and cover with a second pass until no fibre is visible.
Where should I reinforce especially?
At the corners of windows and doors, where cracks usually start, using diagonal strips. Also at junctions between different materials and changes of substrate.
Can it be cut to size?
Yes, it cuts with scissors or a utility knife and adapts to the geometry of the facade. If you are unsure whether it is suitable for your case, write to us and we will help you.
Frequently asked questions about Sika products (mortars, adhesives and sealants)
How do I know which size and quantity to buy?
Each product page includes the approximate yield or consumption (for example kg/m² or metres of bead per cartridge) in the "Technical specifications" section. Calculate the surface area or thickness of your project and multiply by that consumption to find out how many units you need. If in doubt, contact us with the measurements of your job.
Where can I find the complete technical data sheet (Product Data Sheet)?
The description of each product already includes the main technical data (strengths, setting times, application temperature, applicable standards, etc.), taken from the official Sika Spain Product Data Sheet. If you need the complete PDF data sheet or the safety data sheet (SDS), write to us and we will send it to you.
Do these products comply with European regulations (CE marking)?
Most Sika products carry the CE marking in accordance with the relevant European standard (for example EN 1504 for structural repair, EN 12004 for tile adhesives, EN 13888 for grouts or EN 15651 for sealants). The exact standard for each reference is detailed in the "Standards and certificates" section of its product page.
What protective equipment do I need to apply them?
It depends on the product: cement-based mortars and adhesives are usually irritating to skin and eyes (gloves, goggles and a mask are recommended), while polyurethane sealants and adhesives require good ventilation. Always check the safety section of the product page and its safety data sheet (SDS) before use.
How should I store these products and how long do they last unopened?
Shelf life and storage conditions (temperature, humidity, protection from light) vary depending on the type of product (cementitious, polyurethane, epoxy, etc.) and are stated on the packaging and in the data sheet of each reference. In general, it is advisable to store in a dry place, protected from frost and direct sunlight.
Can I return a Sika product if I haven't used it?
Yes, you have 14 calendar days from receipt to exercise your right of withdrawal, provided the product is in its original packaging and has not been opened. The cost of return shipping is borne by the customer. Contact us at info@vetonek.com or via WhatsApp on +34 629 571 735.
How long does my order take to arrive?
We ship to mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands, Portugal and the other European countries we serve (France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, etc.). The estimated delivery time is 3 to 9 working days (no shipping to the Canary Islands, Ceuta or Melilla).
