| Expanded metal laths provide an excellent key for finishing materials such as plasters / renders on masonry, ceilings, suspended ceilings and timber framed buildings. The lathing is manufactured in galvanised and stainless steel, which can be used for internal and external applications. |
In addition to the use on flat surfaces, laths can be also used on projects where curved or domed shapes are required. On the question of fire protection to structural steelwork, lath can provide a quick, simple and cost effective method of forming a key background around the steel to which the fire protection coating can then be applied.
