304 Stainless Steel Ribbed Expanded Metal Lath 1.0mm x 1/2" Mesh for Grouting
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been a trusted manufacturer of wire mesh products since 1998. We are proud to present our 304 Stainless Steel Ribbed Expanded Metal Lath, specifically designed for grouting, plastering, and stucco applications. This product combines the corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel with the mechanical strength of a ribbed expanded pattern, ensuring excellent bonding with cementitious materials. With an annual export value of US$5–10 million and shipments to major global markets, we deliver consistent quality that meets international standards.
Our ribbed expanded metal lath features a 1.0 mm base thickness and a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) mesh opening, providing optimal support for grout and plaster while minimizing material waste. The raised ribs enhance the mechanical key between the lath and the applied coating, reducing the risk of cracking or delamination. Whether used for exterior stucco, interior plaster, or tile backing, this lath offers long-term durability in both residential and commercial projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between ribbed and flat expanded metal lath?
A: Ribbed lath has raised strands that create a mechanical key for better bonding with plaster, stucco, or grout. Flat lath is smoother and may require additional scratch coat thickness. Ribbed is preferred for exterior applications.
Q2: Can this lath be used outdoors?
A: Yes, 304 stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance for most outdoor environments. For extremely corrosive coastal or industrial areas, we recommend 316 stainless steel (available upon request).
Q3: What is the standard sheet size?
A: Common sizes include 0.6m x 2.4m and 0.9m x 3.0m. Custom widths and lengths are available for volume orders.
Q4: How do I cut and install this lath?
A: It can be cut with aviator snips or a grinder with a metal cutting wheel. Install using galvanized staples, screws with washers, or metal lath clips. Overlap edges by about 2 inches (50 mm) for continuous reinforcement.
Q5: Is this product suitable for fire-rated assemblies?
A: Non-combustible stainless steel lath can be used in fire-rated plaster and stucco systems. Always confirm with local building codes and assembly specifications.
Q6: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ is typically 100 sheets for standard sizes. Smaller quantities may be available for sample orders. Please inquire.
Q7: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer free samples (shipping cost covered by buyer). Contact us with your address and required size.
Q8: How long is the delivery time?
A: For standard sizes, production takes 10–15 working days after order confirmation. For custom sizes, lead time may be 20–25 days. Shipping time depends on destination.
