Metal Lath

Metal lath is a type of construction material that falls under the supply class of Miscellaneous Construction Materials in the supply group of Construction and Building Materials.

Metal lath is a thin, flat sheet made of metal, typically galvanized steel or aluminum. It is used in construction and building projects to provide support and reinforcement to various surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, and floors.

Metal lath is commonly used in applications where plaster or stucco is applied. It is installed by attaching it to the underlying structure, such as wood or metal framing, using nails or screws. The metal lath creates a framework that helps to hold the plaster or stucco in place, preventing cracking and improving the overall strength and durability of the finished surface.

Metal lath is available in different sizes and configurations, including diamond mesh and ribbed patterns. The choice of metal lath depends on the specific requirements of the project and the type of finish that will be applied.

Overall, metal lath is an essential construction material that provides structural support and reinforcement, ensuring the longevity and stability of various building surfaces.
