Fast Mud Embedding Galvanized Diamond Mesh Lath 1.75 Lbs Per Yd2 Lightweight Class

Fast Mud Embedding Diamond Metal Lath 1.75 Lbs Per Yd2 Lightweight Class

Engineered at 1.75 lbs/yard—industry’s lightest Class A lath—this diamond-grid system cuts installation fatigue by 40% with rapid-stick plaster embedment, securing immediate mechanical key for veneer coats in overhead work from school corridors to factory ceilings. Its low-mass open-weave design enables single-trowel mud penetration at OSHA-compliant heights, eliminating ladder repositioning while maintaining critical ASTM C1063 shear values for polymer-based plasters up to 1". Integrators standardize this matrix for suspended soffits and retrofit projects where reduced structural load is mandatory, demonstrating zero deflection across 16' spans during third-party load testing.

Commercial drywall contractors and modular builders leverage this lightweight solution for accelerated timelines in LEED-certified projects—particularly tilt-up warehouses and prefabricated condo units requiring consistent fire-rated assemblies. Factory-lathed panelization streamlines multi-story deployments 34% faster than field-attached alternatives, with proprietary knurled ribs defeating shrinkage cracks in arid climates. Request job-specific lean-mix compatibility charts addressing efflorescence risks or utilize our mobile embed-depth scanner for real-time QC validation—backed by ICC-ES reports confirming UL Fire Class A performance in plenums and corridor ceilings.
