Key Advantages for Your Grouting Projects
- Superior Bonding: The open diamond pattern allows mortar to flow through and lock around the lath, creating a mechanical key that prevents delamination.
- Lightweight yet Strong: At 0.7mm, the lath is easy to cut and handle on site, yet provides sufficient reinforcement for plaster up to 1.5 inches thick.
- No Rust Stains: 304 stainless steel ensures that the lath will not rust or bleed through the finished surface, even in high-humidity or coastal environments.
- Customizable Options: We can supply sheets with self-furring dimples, or cut to non-standard sizes (e.g. 3x8ft, 4x10ft) for large-scale projects – please inquire.
- Consistent Geometry: Our expanded metal is produced on precision machinery, ensuring uniform strand width and opening size for predictable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A1: The base metal thickness tolerance is ±0.05 mm. The overall thickness after expansion is approximately 1.2 mm, which is typical for 0.7mm base lath.
Q2: Can I get a custom sheet size other than 4x8 ft?A2: Yes, we offer custom sizes such as 3x8 ft, 4x10 ft, or cut-to-length sheets. Minimum order quantities may apply for non-standard sizes. Please contact us with your requirements.
Q3: Is this product suitable for exterior stucco applications?A3: Absolutely. The 304 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for exterior stucco, cement plaster, and curtain wall systems.
Q4: Do you provide samples before bulk order?A4: Yes, we can send small samples (e.g. 1x1 ft) for evaluation. Sample costs and shipping are negotiable; typically we offer free samples for serious inquiries.
Q5: How is the lath packaged for export?A5: Sheets are bundled in stacks of 10–20 pieces, secured with steel strapping, and wrapped in waterproof kraft paper. Palletizing is available for easy forklift handling.
Q6: What is the lead time for a 20ft container?A6: Typical production lead time is 15–20 working days after order confirmation. For urgent orders, we can expedite to 10–12 days subject to factory schedule.
Q7: Does the Mill Test Report cover all sheets in the shipment?A7: The Mill Test Report is issued per heat/lot number. We ensure that all sheets in the same shipment come from the same production batch, so the report is representative of the entire order.
Q8: Can I use this lath for tile backing or flooring underlayment?A8: While primarily designed for vertical wall grouting and plaster, this lath can be used for horizontal applications like thin-set mortar beds or tile underlayment when properly supported. For heavy-duty floor reinforcement, we recommend a thicker gauge (e.g. 1.0mm) – please consult our technical team.
