Expanded Metal Lath is a versatile and durable base material designed to provide excellent mechanical keying and reinforcement for stucco, plaster, and cement applications. Manufactured from high-quality galvanized steel sheets, it is slit and expanded into a diamond mesh pattern that ensures superior strength, uniform plaster bonding, and crack resistance.
This heavy-duty lath offers reliable adhesion for both interior and exterior wall systems, ceilings, and soffits. Its open mesh structure allows plaster to fully penetrate and lock into the lath, forming a strong mechanical bond with the substrate — ideal for achieving smooth, long-lasting finishes on concrete, masonry, or wood surfaces.
High Strength: Reinforced structure provides superior support for thick plaster or cement coatings.
Excellent Keying: Diamond mesh design ensures even plaster bonding and prevents delamination.
Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanized coating (G60/G90) protects against rust and moisture.
Easy Installation: Lightweight, flexible, and simple to cut or shape on-site.
Versatile Application: Suitable for flat, curved, or irregular wall and ceiling surfaces.
