Product Overview
Our expanded metal lath is created by simultaneously slitting and stretching galvanized steel sheets, producing a diamond-shaped mesh with no waste material. The 18-gauge thickness delivers excellent structural integrity, while the 1/2-inch mesh opening allows for optimal concrete keying and bonding. Unlike traditional welded wire mesh, this expanded metal lath offers superior flexibility and crack resistance, making it perfect for permanent formwork applications in walls, ceilings, and architectural features.
