Expanded Metal Lath 1.5mm x 0.5mm Rib Lath 0.8mm Thickness for Plastering Concrete Reinforcement
Product Spotlights
Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, based in Hengshui, Hebei, China, is a professional manufacturer specializing in expanded metal products. Our Expanded Metal Lath 1.5mm x 0.5mm Rib Lath with 0.8mm thickness is designed to provide exceptional reinforcement for plastering and concrete applications. This product combines high strength with excellent bonding properties, ensuring a durable and crack-resistant surface for walls, ceilings, and other structures. With decades of manufacturing experience, we deliver consistent quality and reliable performance.
Product Features & Advantages
- Superior Bonding: The expanded diamond pattern creates a mechanical key that grips plaster or concrete firmly, preventing delamination and cracking.
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Despite its lightweight nature, the 0.8mm thick lath provides robust reinforcement, reducing material handling costs.
- Corrosion Resistance: Available in galvanized finish (hot-dipped or electro-galvanized) for long-lasting performance in humid or outdoor environments.
- Easy Installation: Flexible yet rigid, the lath can be cut, bent, and fastened easily with staples or screws, saving labor time.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for interior/exterior plastering, stucco, concrete overlays, tile underlayment, and fireproofing systems.
- Customizable Dimensions: Sheet sizes and coil lengths can be tailored to your project requirements, minimizing waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between rib lath and standard expanded metal lath?
Rib lath has raised ribs (1.5mm x 0.5mm) that provide additional stiffness and improved keying for plaster, while standard flat lath is smoother. Rib lath is preferred for thicker plaster applications and concrete reinforcement. -
Can this product be used outdoors?
Yes, when galvanized finish is selected, it offers excellent corrosion resistance for exterior stucco or concrete repair. For coastal areas, hot-dip galvanized is recommended. -
How do I cut and install the lath?
Use tin snips or a angle grinder for cutting. Attach to wood or metal studs with galvanized staples or self-tapping screws at 150mm intervals. Overlap sheets by at least 50mm. -
What plaster thickness is suitable?
Typically, 10–25mm of plaster or concrete can be applied in one coat. For heavier applications, two coats may be needed with the lath as reinforcement. -
Is the product available in coils?
Yes, we can supply in coils for continuous application, as well as standard sheets. Custom coil lengths are available upon request. -
Can you provide a mill certificate or test report?
Yes, we can provide a material test certificate for tensile strength and coating thickness upon request. Please contact our sales team for details. -
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ is typically 100 sheets for standard sizes, but smaller trial orders are accepted for new customers. -
How long does shipping take?
For orders within 20 feet container, production takes about 7–15 days. Shipping time depends on destination. We offer FOB Tianjin or CIF terms.
