High Rib Lath/Galvanized High Rib Lath
Description of High Rib Lath/Galvanized High Rib Lath
Rib- lath is expanded metal-lath stiffened with longitudinal ribs. The furring design of the mesh provides efficient background plaster for construction of partition, suspended ceilings and refurbishment works. The advantage of ribbed- lath over metal-lathing is that support centers can be increased or widened.
Rib lath is ideal for refurbishing damaged or aged masonry walls, when a key for rendering is not certain due to disintegration or softening of the wall face. Lath should be fixed with apexes of ribs against the wall, edge ribs of sheets should be lapped not less than 2.5cm and nesting ribs securely tied together. Stainless steel fixings should be used at sufficient intervals to hold the lath firmly in position.
Application of High Rib Lath
Widely used as a plaster backing on ceilings, walls and stud partitions. Rib Lath is also ideal for refurbishing damaged or aged masonry walls when a key for rendering is not certain due to disintegration or softening of the wall face.
Rib Lath is extensively used in construction of civil building, industrial building, construction under the water like banks, ponds, infrastructure engineering as well as municipal works. Rib Lath works well with other construction materials to save both cost and energy.
