3.4lbs Heavy-gauge Self-furring Metal Lath for Structural Stability
Overview
WSFIVIN’s Heavy-gauge Self-furring Metal Lath (3.4lbs/sq.yd) delivers industrial-grade reinforcement for ceilings and walls in high-traffic environments, featuring 16GA steel thickness to withstand seismic activity and heavy mechanical loads. With pre-formed 5/16" furring dimples and galvanized G60 durability, it addresses critical stability demands in multi-story buildings and earthquake-prone regions.
Key Features
1.Structural Reinforcement
-3.4lbs/sq.yd density resists 350% higher impact forces than standard lath systems.
Diamond-patterned mesh distributes load evenly across 12" joist spans.
2.Corrosion Resistance
-Zinc-aluminum alloy coating exceeds ASTM A641 requirements, ideal for coastal chemical plants.
-Interlocking edges prevent moisture penetration at sheet joints.
3.Self-Furring Efficiency
-Pre-spaced dimples eliminate manual furring strips, reducing labor costs by 30%.
-Serrated edges enhance plaster adhesion for crack-free finishes.
