27x96in Diamond Mesh Lath With 0.019in Thickness For Ceiling Support
Designed for overhead structural integrity, the diamond mesh lath in 27"x96" panels with 0.019" steel thickness provides unmatched ceiling support while preventing plaster cracking through its three-dimensional reinforcement. The optimized open-area pattern delivers superior mechanical keying for plaster adhesion, distributing weight loads evenly across drop ceilings and soffits. Thicker 0.019-gauge strands outperform traditional lath in torsion resistance - accommodating HVAC components and lighting fixtures without sagging, while standardized dimensions enable fast modifications using standard snips.
Building contractors and drywall specialists rely on this ICC-ES approved lath for suspended ceiling systems, fire-resistant assemblies (ASTM E119), and retrofitting projects throughout North American commercial spaces. Distributors benefit from pre-palletized shipments consolidating ±400 panels per load, while installation crews gain 40% faster mounting through pre-punched attachment points that eliminate drill bits. Contact our technical team for custom bending services on complex vaulted ceilings or seamless integration with acoustic panels - ensuring structural compliance meets aesthetic demands.
