Rib Lath With High Strength and Great Plaster Bonding Capacity

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.
