Diamond Mesh Lath is a kind of Expanded Metal Lath, manufactured from steel sheets, slit and expanded to small diamond openings. Mostly supplied in flat rectangular sheets of 0.6m x 2.5m, galvanized for corrosion resistance and durable uses. Diamond Metal Lath is used in structure reinforcement to hold plaster on roof, wall and ceilings, suitable for masonry surface stucco and plastering uses.
Diamond metal lathing is ideal for fireproofing structure construction, with:
The uniform diamond opening and large open area provide a superior substrate for bonding of cementitious fireproof materials;
Rigid and flat sheets, bendable for box and contour design;
Square ends and smooth parallel edges on the sides for fast and easy handling;
Minimum stress cracks by maintaining consistent material depth.

Self-Furring Diamond Mesh Lath has a diamond hole, a surface studded in dimples, or embossed V shape groove to provide furring. Grooved Self-Furred Metal Lath is available with Grade D asphalt paper backing.
V groove or Dimpled Diamond Metal Lath?
Self-Furring V-Groove Metal Lath features a unique V-groove pattern with self-furring projections, enhancing material embedment and ensuring a strong, durable base for finishes. Grooved diamond mesh lath can be made with paper-backed or no paper.
Grooved Self-Furred Diamond Metal Lath Design: V grooves in the lath, technically, 5 V shape grooves in the lath, instead of standard dimples as in Dimpled Metal Lath.
Features:
The 5 grooves provide the necessary 1/4” furring off the sheathing’s surface to allow for proper embedment and keying of the scratch coat on all types of walls.
Finishes are G60 hot-dipped galvanized steel, or G90 hot dipped galvanized steel.
Dimpled Diamond Metal Lath is designed with a diamond-shaped pattern that is dimpled to enhance its structural integrity. The dimples increase the surface area of the lath, providing superior keying and bonding properties for plaster, stucco, or other coatings. This design not only improves adhesion but also enhances the overall strength and durability of the lath.
Dimpled metal lath offers excellent adhesion, increased strength, corrosion resistance, lightweight flexibility, fire resistance, and allows for ventilation and drainage. Dimpled diamond metal lathing is ideal for reinforcing plaster and stucco in construction, masonry applications, ceilings, soffits, decorative architectural elements, fireproofing, soundproofing, and restoration projects.
Features:
Diamond mesh lath is easy to cut and form to ornamental plaster work and it provides ample keying for scratch coat;
Stable structure, smooth surface, uniform mesh size, high tensile strength;
Unroll easily, cut easily, applied to the wall easily by paving.
Firmwin Diamond Mesh Lath makes excellent plaster base and brick wall reinforcement, used to hold plaster, cement on roof, wall, ceiling, floor or tile to reinforce them, in the following constructions:
Walls;
Ceilings;
Fireproofing system of steel beam, and columns.
Installation tips:
Fastener placement should be arranged for ideal furring;
Self furring rib lath used over solid surfaces shall be furred approximately ¼ inch away from the wall to allow for the proper stucco keying behind;
Self-Furred Metal Lath is secured to masonry surfaces with hardened concrete nails and power driven fasteners at the furring dimples;
Paper backed lath is often used in this type of application as a bond breaker.
