Rib lath punching
Rib lath is manufactured by punching and profiling galvanized steel sheet or stainless steel sheet.
Rib lath, also known as expanded ribbed lath, has V-ribs to offer an increased tensile strength and give a uniform plastering depth over a large coating area. Compared with common metal lath, V ribs provide added support capacity and its unique structure offers better permeability, thereby delivering greater plaster bonding and fixing properties.
It is extensively used in plastering works on walls and suspended ceilings and serves as plaster base for building construction.
Rib lath without paper
Kraft paper-backed rib lath
Rib lath without paper has herringbone mesh patterns and 7 longitudinal solid steel ribs with a depth of 3/8" at an interval of 3-7/8" across the sheet.
Rib lath provides a maximum span of 24" on center. It can be used both vertically and horizontally to provide superior strength and exceptional rigidity. It is widely used in ceiling, wall and column plaster works.
Compared with rib lath without paper, kraft paper-backed rib lath not only provides superior strength and exceptional rigidity, but also limits the loss of plaster when being applied on open framing.
