Lightweight Easy-Install High Rib Lath Panel for Large Surface Rendering

Our High Rib Lath Panel is designed to simplify rendering work on large wall surfaces while providing dependable strength and stability. Produced by expanding steel sheets into a ribbed mesh profile, the panel maintains excellent stiffness despite its lightweight design, making installation easier and faster for contractors and plastering teams.

The deep rib structure helps distribute surface pressure evenly, supporting thick render coatings and reducing the risk of cracking or detachment. Its open mesh configuration offers strong mechanical keying, allowing plaster, mortar, or render material to bond securely to the substrate. This ensures a smooth, uniform finish across wide areas such as building façades, interior walls, ceilings, and renovation surfaces.

With easy cutting, shaping, and fastening, this high rib panel is ideal for both new construction and refurbishment projects where fast installation and consistent performance are required.

FAQ

1. What is High Rib Lath used for?

High Rib Lath is designed for heavy-duty stucco, concrete, and plaster applications. It’s ideal for walls, ceilings, and formwork where superior reinforcement and mechanical keying are required.

2. Does your High Rib Lath meet U.S. and Canadian building codes?

Yes. Our product complies with ASTM C847 and is ICC-ES certified, ensuring it meets the structural and safety requirements of North American construction standards.

3. What makes High Rib Lath different from regular metal lath?

It features deep ribs and expanded metal openings for added stiffness and superior bonding. The ribbed profile provides strong support for thick plaster or concrete applications, even over wide spans.

4. What is the minimum order and lead time?

The MOQ is 2 pallets (total of 1,000 sheets, 500 sheets per pallet). Lead time is typically 15–20 working days, depending on order size and customization.

5. How is the product packaged for export?

We use sturdy palletized packaging for safe container shipping. Each pallet is tightly strapped and can be customized with waterproof wrap or branding labels as needed.
