Metal Lath Introduction | ClarkDietrich Building Systems

Metal lath provides a lightweight and easily attachable base for plaster application. Made from expanded steel, the lath generally is applied flat across the stud plane and attached with staples, nails, or wafer head lath screws. The openings in the lath enable plaster to key around the metal to assure a secure bond and a flat, smooth surface plane upon completion of the plaster application. Metal lath comes in a variety of configurations, including self-furring (dimpled and continuous groove for use over solid substrates ASTM C) and paper-backed, to meet specific job requirements and plaster/stucco preferences. ClarkDietrich products meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM C847.

Expanded Metal Lath for Preventing Building Cracks

Expanded Metal Lath Creates Durable Bonding Plaster

Expanded metal lath acts as a versatile base for cementing plaster walls, ceilings for internal and external applications, so it has another name: plaster mesh. It is manufactured from prime quality steel sheet which is slit and stretched to form large number of small diamond openings, providing more plaster keys than any other lathing material.

As is known to us all, cracks of buildings are usually caused by seasonal changes in humidity. To avoid cracks that may cause a lot of trouble, expanded metal lath should be taken into account when plastering walls, floors or ceilings. It can be used for absolutely all flat or curved surfaces of concrete, brick or wood, reinforcing the plastering materials to prevent cracks.
