Benefits for Your Projects
- Enhanced Bonding Strength: The expanded diamond pattern creates a mechanical key that firmly anchors plaster, mortar, or stucco, reducing the risk of delamination over time.
- Corrosion Resistance: G90 galvanization protects against rust and moisture, making it suitable for exterior walls, basements, and high-humidity areas.
- Lightweight yet Strong: At 1.2mm thickness, the lath provides sufficient rigidity without excessive weight, simplifying handling and installation.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to wire mesh or other lath types, expanded metal offers excellent material utilization and a longer service life, reducing overall project costs.
- Easy to Cut & Fit: Sheets can be cut with tin snips or power shears, and can be bent around corners or curves for complex architectural details.
- Fire Resistance: When used with cementitious materials, expanded metal lath contributes to fire-rated assemblies, meeting building code requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between expanded metal lath and wire mesh lath?
A: Expanded metal lath is made from a single sheet of metal that is slit and stretched, creating a continuous diamond pattern without separate welds. This provides greater strength, rigidity, and a more uniform bond key compared to welded wire mesh. -
Q: Can I use this lath for exterior stucco applications?
A: Yes, the G90 galvanized coating offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for exterior stucco, EIFS, and other cement-based coatings. However, we recommend consulting your local building codes for specific requirements. -
Q: How do I cut the lath to fit my wall?
A: The lath can be easily cut using tin snips, aviation shears, or a grinder with a metal cutting disc. For best results, wear appropriate safety gear and score the mesh before cutting. -
Q: What is the weight of one sheet, and how many sheets fit in a container?
A: Each 4x8 ft sheet weighs approximately 12.5 kg (27.5 lbs). A standard 20-foot container can hold roughly 1,500–1,800 sheets depending on packing method. For larger quantities, a 40-foot container can accommodate up to 3,600 sheets. -
Q: Do you offer custom sizes or different mesh openings?
A: Yes, we can customize sheet dimensions, thicknesses, and mesh sizes (e.g., 3/8", 3/4", etc.) per your request. Minimum order quantities may apply. Please contact our sales team for details. -
Q: Is this lath compliant with ASTM standards?
A: Our product is manufactured to meet equivalent performance requirements of ASTM C847 (Standard Specification for Metal Lath). We can provide a test report upon request. Please note that certification may vary by region. -
Q: How long does delivery take to the United States or Europe?
A: Typical lead time is 15–25 days after order confirmation, depending on quantity and shipping method. We ship from major Chinese ports, and transit time to the US West Coast is about 20–30 days by sea, to Europe 30–40 days. -
Q: Can I get a free sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We offer free samples (A4 size or small cut pieces) for evaluation; you only need to cover the shipping cost. Contact us to arrange sample delivery.
