application and plastering works to reduce cracking when subjected to various thermal movement

and vibration stresses. Applied in areas of dissimilar material between junction separating concrete

and cement or brick layers.

Rib Lath Features Compared with Other Metal Laths:

• It is easy to cut and form to ornamental plaster work.
• It provides ample keying for scratch coat.
• It is commonly used for plaster machine application.
• It gives a uniform coat depth for large area.

Made of expanded metal, rib lath is ideal material used as a background for plaster, render, stucco application in construction of suspended ceilings partition. Rib Lath, with a herringbone mesh pattern and stiffened seven deep longitudinal solid steel ribs, provides superior strength and exceptional rigidity. This is made possible as the mesh areas are expanded by cutting and stretching in the sheet metal with the ribs being simultaneously roll-formed. The herringbone mesh pattern makes it suitable for use for wet wall plaster, as formwork for thin concrete slabs and stucco application in construction for ceilings.

Stayrib Mesh is primarily used in construction joint applications abut it is also used to form wall, beam & column surfaces and slabs soffits, where the formed surface will not be seen. When it is used as vertical formwork, the resulting formwork pressure is significantly less than that developed with traditional forming materials, reducing the overall support requirement.
