A perforated metal sheet used for reinforcing concrete.
Sheets of metal that are slit and drawn out to form openings. Used as a plaster base for walls and ceilings and as reinforcing over other forms of plaster base.
Metal lath is slit and expanded or stamp-punched from plain or galvanized steel coils or sheets. It is of two types: diamond mesh lath, which may be flat or self-furred with impressed indentations, and rob lath. Metal lath is coated with a rust-inhibiting paint after fabrication or fabricated from galvanized sheet steel (preferred).
A thin sheet of metal nailed to rafters, joists, or studding as a groundwork for masonry application.
A mesh made from sheet metal onto which plaster is applied.
Also called expanded metal. It is used on one side of a vertical wall and the underneath surface of a ceiling. It can be used on both sides of a vertical wall but is more difficult to force plaster through. Thin gauge, painted metal lath is best for ferrocement work. Galvanized expanded metal is less convenient but holds wet plaster just as well as thin gauge lath. This material is very sharp where it has been cut. Pneumatic hog ring gun cannot attach heavy gauge, galvanized expanded metal.
Sheets of metal that are slit to form openings within the lath; used as a plaster base for walls and ceilings and as reinforcing over other forms of plaster base
Screen-like structural supports for plaster or mortar, made of thin metal sheet, stretch and stamped with a pattern.
