Heavy-Duty 0.019in Thickness Self-Furring Metal Lath with G60 Galvanized Steel Coating
Overview
WSFIVIN’s Heavy-Duty Self-Furring Metal Lath combines industrial-grade durability with advanced corrosion resistance, featuring a 0.019in steel core and G60 galvanized coating for demanding plaster and stucco applications. Its self-furring dimples ensure proper plaster adhesion while meeting ASTM standards for vertical and overhead installations.
Key Features
1. Ultra-Durable G60 Protection
-60g/m² zinc coating (G60) outperforms standard G30 lath, providing 35+ years of rust resistance in marine climates.
-Passes ASTM B117 salt spray testing for 3,000+ hours.
2. Self-Furring Structural Design
-¼” pyramidal dimples create automatic substrate spacing, reducing installation time by 30% vs. manual furring.
-0.019in steel thickness (22GA) resists deformation under 150 PSI loads.
3. Code-Compliant Performance
-Meets ASTM A653 specifications for galvanized steel lath.
-Compatible with ASTM C1063-23 stucco and ASTM C842-23 plaster systems.
