Manufactured from prime quality steel sheets that are slit and expanded to form small diamond shaped openings (over 10,000 per square yard). This large number of openings provides more plaster keys than any other type of lathing material. This allows for better stucco bonding in either pumped or troweled applications. Each sheet has square ends and smooth parallel edges for fast, easy handling and installation; and can be readily bent for curved surfaces.

Packaging:
10 pcs. (20 square yards) per bundle -
500 bundles (1000 square yards) per pallet.
All diamond mesh lath is produced from hot dip
galvanized steel per ASTM A653, A924 and C847.
INSTALLATION:
All metal components used in any particular application must be of the same material type. Gloves should be worn to protect hands from sharp metal edges.
Fix with the mesh length running across the supports (at max 350mm centres) with strand sloping downwards and away from the face of the coating.
Timber: Using 7 mm headed plasterers nails 38mm long, or 32 x 2mm staples, fix to each support starting from the centre of sheet. Angle fixings away from the centre to give the lath the necessary tension.
Steel: Bend 1.2mm tying wire into long "U"shapes and tie lath at 100mm centres by pulling tight and twisting. When cutting wire ends, ensure that they are not left near the surface of the plaster. Sheet ends should be overlapped by 50mm on supports and wired together at 150mm centres. Sheet sides should be overlapped by a minimum of 25mm and wired together at 150mm centres.
