CHOOSING RIBBED MESH LATH ACCORDING TO RIB HEIGHTS

Comparing 1/8" and 3/8" rib lath:

Rib laths have two popular rib heights, 1/8" flat rib lath and 3/8" rib lath.

3/8" high rib lath is designed for horizontal forming applications. It has seven longitudinal ribs, each 3/8 inch deep and eight small flat ribs to provide additional rigidity. The herringbone mesh pattern provides excellent bonding of the stucco to the lath for ceiling and soffit installations.

1/8" flat rib lath has 1/8 inch small ribs at the outer edge of the sheet allows for a smooth overlap reducing plaster cracks at the laps.

INSTALLATION OF RIBBED LATH

Rib Lath provides plaster / stucco backing for concrete walls.
In fixing of the rib lath, the ribs should be held firmly against the background by the use of fixings placed at 600 mm centres.
Fixing of lath following BS EN 13914-1:2005 Internal Plastering and BS EN 13914- 2:2005 External Rendering, or other equivalent standards, for example: ASTM C841.

TERMINOLOGY / LEARN MORE ABOUT RIB LATH FOR PLASTERING AND STUCCO

What is Ribbed Metal Lath
Rib lath is a versatile expanded metal lath fabricated with evenly spaced strips of solid metal. Comparing with wire mesh plastering lath, expanded metal ribbed lath has stiffened ribs and greater tensile strength that rendering excellent plaster base and reinforcement for all types of walls,ceilings, partitions and fireproofing systems.

Rib lath is ideal for proving a high degree key of mechanical bonding with render or plaster.

Features of Ribbed Lath
Good mechanical properties and low lateral pressure;
The special mesh structure allows visual inspection of the pouring work, by observing the pouring process, the risk of pores and beehives can be reduced;
Light dead weight, convenient transportation and installation;
Optimized process and increased shear interface;
Permanent formwork can bond the next cast concrete without the need to disassemble or make joints, thus simplifying interface preparation.

Ribbed Structure
Rib lath is made of steel strips cut and stretched by specially designed rib lathing machines;
A completely jointless expanded steel mesh design;
Made of pre-galvanized strip or 304 stainless steel;
A special mesh and mesh surface, a uniform herringbone structure.

Rib lath materials and finishes:
Galvanized steel rib lath;
Stainless rib lath in 304 and 316.

Expanded sheet rib laths designs options:
Flat expanded metal lath;
Light standard rib lath;
Expanded diamond mesh lath;
High rib lath;
Self-furred rib lath;
Dimpled mesh lath;
Grooved rib lath;
Paper backed rib lath;
Expanded lath of above design in combination with paper-backing with D, Double-D, or K paper.

Weight Specification
