Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Ribbed Structure: The raised ribs create a mechanical key that locks plaster or stucco into the mesh, minimizing slippage and delamination.
- High Tensile Strength: Manufactured from premium galvanized steel or stainless steel, our lath can withstand heavy stucco layers and external stresses.
- Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanized coating provides excellent protection against rust, ideal for long-term exposure to weather elements.
- Flexible Yet Rigid: The expanded metal design allows for easy cutting and shaping on-site while maintaining structural integrity.
- Standard & Custom Sizes: Available in various sheet thicknesses (0.4mm–1.2mm), mesh sizes (1/2" x 1/2", 3/4" x 3/4", 1" x 1"), and rib heights (3mm, 5mm, 8mm). Custom dimensions are also offered.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for external wall plastering, stucco reinforcement, ceiling work, and even as a base for tile or stone veneer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between ribbed expanded metal lath and standard flat expanded metal lath?
A: Ribbed expanded metal lath has raised ribs that create a mechanical key for better plaster adhesion, reducing the risk of delamination. Standard flat lath provides a smoother surface but may require additional bonding agents.
Q2: Can this lath be used indoors as well as outdoors?
A: Yes, it is suitable for both external and internal applications. However, for external use, we recommend galvanized or stainless steel options for maximum corrosion resistance.
Q3: What thickness do you recommend for external stucco reinforcement?
A: For typical stucco applications, a thickness of 0.6mm to 0.8mm (24–22 gauge) is commonly used. For heavier stucco layers or high-stress areas, 1.0mm or thicker is recommended.
Q4: Do you offer custom sizes and rib heights?
A: Absolutely. We can customize sheet dimensions, rib heights, and mesh openings to meet your project specifications. Please provide your requirements for a quote.
Q5: How is the product packaged for export?
A: The lath is bundled in stacks with steel straps, then placed on pallets and wrapped with protective film or waterproof paper. This ensures safe transportation during ocean freight.
Q6: What is the lead time for bulk orders?
A: Typically, production takes 15–25 days after order confirmation, depending on the quantity and customization. We can also offer express shipping for smaller samples.
Q7: Is the lath easy to cut on site?
A: Yes, it can be cut with standard tin snips, angle grinders, or shears. The expanded metal structure is flexible enough to conform to curved surfaces without breaking.
Q8: Can I get a sample before placing a large order?
A: Certainly. We provide free samples (shipping cost may apply) for your evaluation. Contact our sales team to arrange.
