Expanded Metal Lath

Expanded metal laths provide an excellent key for finishing materials such as
plasters / renders on masonry, ceilings, suspended ceilings and timber framed
buildings. The lathing is manufactured in galvanised and stainless steel, which
can be used for internal and external applications.

In addition to the use on flat surfaces, laths can be also used on projects where curved or domed shapes are required. On the question of fire protection to structural steelwork, lath can provide a quick, simple and cost effective method of forming a key background around the steel to which the fire protection coating can then be applied.

Our´s metal lath is easy to fix and provides a secure key for many plaster and render applications including joint and crack reinforcement and refurbishment work. Available in Rib form as a plaster backing on ceilings, walls and stud partitions or Diamond form that can be used as part of a fire protection system for structural steel work.
