Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd is proud to present our 304 Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Lath with a thickness of 0.5mm, 1/2x1/2 inch openings, and a convenient 12x24 inch sheet size. Manufactured in our facility in Hengshui, Hebei, China, this self-furring expanded metal lath is specifically designed for plastering applications, offering excellent adhesion and long-term durability. Whether you are a contractor, builder, or distributor, our product provides a reliable solution for reinforcing stucco, plaster, and cementitious finishes.
The self-furring feature ensures proper mechanical keying between the lath and the plaster, reducing the risk of separation and cracking. Made from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel, this lath is ideal for both interior and exterior use, even in humid or coastal environments. Each sheet is precisely expanded to create uniform diamond-shaped openings, maximizing surface area for plaster bonding while maintaining structural integrity.
Product Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: 304 Stainless Steel – excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for long-term exposure.
- Thickness: 0.5mm (24 gauge) – balanced strength and flexibility for easy handling and installation.
- Opening Size: 1/2 x 1/2 inch (12.7 x 12.7 mm) – provides optimal mesh density for plaster keying.
- Sheet Dimensions: 12 x 24 inches (305 x 610 mm) – compact size for smaller projects or easy transport.
- Self-Furring Design: Raised ribs create a 1/4-inch offset from the substrate, allowing plaster to embed behind the lath for a stronger mechanical bond.
- Expanded Pattern: Diamond-shaped openings with no sharp edges – safe to handle and install.
- Application: Ideal for plastering, stucco, rendering, and cement plaster reinforcement on walls and ceilings.
- Customization: Available in other sizes, thicknesses, and materials upon request.

Advantages & Customer Benefits
Enhanced Plaster Adhesion: The self-furring ribs create a mechanical key that allows plaster to flow behind the lath, forming a solid interlock. This reduces the risk of delamination and cracks over time.
Corrosion Resistance: 304 stainless steel offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion compared to galvanized or carbon steel lath, making it suitable for high-moisture areas, bathrooms, kitchens, and exterior applications.
Lightweight & Easy to Install: At 0.5mm thickness, the lath is stiff enough to hold shape but flexible enough to cut and fit around corners, windows, and other obstacles. Each 12x24 inch sheet can be handled by one person.
Uniform Openings: The expanded metal process ensures consistent diamond-shaped openings across the entire sheet, providing a uniform surface for plaster application and eliminating weak spots.
Cost-Effective: Compared to welded wire mesh, expanded metal lath is more economical for large plastering projects while still offering excellent strength and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between self-furring lath and flat lath?
A: Self-furring lath has raised ribs that create a small gap between the lath and the substrate, allowing plaster to flow behind for a stronger mechanical bond. Flat lath lies flush against the substrate and is typically used with metal studs or furring strips. Self-furring is preferred for direct application to solid surfaces like concrete or masonry.
Q2: Can this lath be used for exterior stucco?
A: Yes, 304 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for exterior stucco applications, even in coastal or high-humidity environments. However, always follow local building codes for proper installation and weatherproofing.
Q3: What tools are needed for cutting expanded metal lath?
A: The lath can be easily cut using tin snips, aviation snips, or a angle grinder with a metal cutting disc. Wear gloves and eye protection during cutting.
Q4: Is this product available in other sizes?
A: Yes, we offer customization. You can request different sheet dimensions, thicknesses (e.g., 0.4mm, 0.6mm), or opening sizes. Contact our sales team for details.
Q5: How many sheets are in a bundle or carton?
A: Standard packaging contains 50 sheets per bundle, but we can adjust according to your order quantity. For small orders, individual sheets are packed in cardboard.
Q6: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, samples are available. Please contact us to arrange shipment (sample cost and freight to be covered by the buyer). We can also provide a small quantity for trial.
Q7: Is the lath rust-proof? Will it stain the plaster?
A: 304 stainless steel is highly rust-resistant, but under extreme conditions (e.g., prolonged exposure to chlorides) surface staining may occur. For most applications, it will not cause discoloration of plaster. For critical environments, consider using 316 stainless steel (available on request).
Q8: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ for standard sizes is 100 sheets. For custom sizes, MOQ may be higher. We welcome both small and large orders; please inquire for specific terms.
