FAQ

1. What is High Rib Lath used for?

High Rib Lath is designed for heavy-duty stucco, concrete, and plaster applications. It’s ideal for walls, ceilings, and formwork where superior reinforcement and mechanical keying are required.

2. Does your High Rib Lath meet U.S. and Canadian building codes?

Yes. Our product complies with ASTM C847 and is ICC-ES certified, ensuring it meets the structural and safety requirements of North American construction standards.

3. What makes High Rib Lath different from regular metal lath?

It features deep ribs and expanded metal openings for added stiffness and superior bonding. The ribbed profile provides strong support for thick plaster or concrete applications, even over wide spans.
