17 Gauge Galvanized Paper-backed Welded Wire Lath –corrosion-resistant Stucco Mesh
WSFIVIN’s 17 Gauge Galvanized Paper-Backed Welded Wire Lath redefines stucco reinforcement by combining heavy-duty durability with optimized moisture resistance, engineered to thrive in North America’s harshest climates. Built for contractors and architects who demand longevity, this lath integrates a hot-dip galvanized steel grid (1" x 1" pattern) with a factory-bonded, UV-resistant asphalt-kraft paper barrier. Designed to exceed ASTM C1063 and ASTM E119 standards, it resists corrosion from saltwater, humidity, and freeze-thaw cycles while ensuring fire-rated performance. Available in pre-cut panels (4x8 ft) or continuous rolls (50–200 ft), its 17-gauge thickness delivers superior structural rigidity, reducing on-site adjustments by 25% and accelerating installation for high-volume projects.
Engineered for Maximum Structural Integrity
The diamond-shaped welded steel grid features raised ribs that bite deep into stucco base coats, enhancing mechanical adhesion and eliminating slip failures. Precision robotic welding creates uniform grid spacing, critical for distributing loads evenly across walls, soffits, and curved substrates. The heavy-duty 70 lb asphalt-impregnated paper acts as a self-sealing moisture barrier—resistant to punctures around fasteners and UV degradation during prolonged staging. Unlike flimsier 20-gauge alternatives, the 17-gauge steel core ensures 30% higher tensile strength, making it ideal for hurricane-prone coastal areas like Miami or corrosive urban environments like Chicago.
Robust Performance Across Critical Applications
A Smart Investment for Quality-Driven Clients
This lath caters to stucco contractors, construction firms, and distributors seeking code-compliant, low-maintenance solutions. Custom roll lengths (up to 250 ft) and palletized bulk packaging (18 rolls/pallet) minimize waste and streamline cross-continental logistics. WSFIVIN’s exclusive 25-year corrosion warranty and BIM-ready specs reduce lifecycle costs, while our North American partnerships ensure just-in-time deliveries and competitive pricing for large bids. From custom cuts to technical guidance, our team empowers professionals to tackle complex builds confidently—and stay ahead of evolving building codes.

FAQ
1. Why choose WSFIVIN's Welded Stucco Mesh?
Our stucco mesh is made with high-strength low-carbon steel wire and precision automatic welding, ensuring a flat surface and firm joints that won’t deform or break during installation. The hot-dip galvanized finish offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it reliable for both indoor and outdoor use. We deliver true construction-grade products, not cheap alternatives with inconsistent quality.
2. Is your price higher than other suppliers?
We may not be the lowest, but we offer better value for money. Our controlled manufacturing and stable supply chain allow us to offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality. Our long-term clients report fewer product failures and longer service life, which means lower total cost in the long run.
3. Can you customize according to project needs?
Absolutely. We support full customization — wire gauge, mesh size, roll width/length, and even waterproof paper backing (K-Lath). If you have project drawings or special installation requirements, we can provide OEM/ODM services to match your needs across different markets and applications.
4. How fast is delivery? Can you handle large orders?
We keep standard sizes in stock for fast dispatch within 3 working days. Custom orders usually ship within 7–10 days. With strong production capacity and export experience, we ensure stable, on-time delivery even for bulk orders — so your project timeline is never at risk.
5. I’m still unsure — can I get a sample? What support do you offer?
Yes — we offer free samples (freight collected) so you can evaluate the quality yourself. Our team provides responsive pre-sales and after-sales service, along with ISO certification, test reports, and export documents (CO, Form E, etc.). We’re committed to making your experience smooth, reliable, and worry-free from inquiry to delivery.
