Stainless steel rib lath is widely used as plaster backing on ceilings, walls and stud partitions. Rib Lath is also ideal for refurbishing damaged or aged masonry walls when a key for rendering is not certain due to disintegration or softening of the wall face. Manufactured in galvanized steel to BS EN 10143:1993 with quality Zinc coating G60. Complies with BS 1369 Part 1:1987 specification for expanded metal and ribbed lathing.
Stainless steel rib lath is expanded metal-lath stiffened with longitudinal ribs.
The furring design of the mesh provides efficient background plaster for construction of partition,
suspended ceilings and refurbishment works. The advantage of ribbed-lath over metal-lathing is that support centers can be increased or widened.
