(54) | Reinforced cementitious panel |
(57) A building wall covering system (10) for application to a wall support comprises
a layer of insulative material (14) and an overlying layer of matting (16) which is
attached to the wall support structure (12). The matting (16) is particularly adapted
to provide structural strength in the cementitious material (18) applied thereto.
The matting (16) is of a bulkly layer of open construction formed by randomly directed
interconnected flexible filaments. The cement layer (18) is applied to fill the voids
in the matting (16) and cover same. A finish coat (20) is applied to the layer of
hardened cement material to complete the covering. The system has considerably enhanced
impact resistance compared to existing systems. |
