High Bond Expanded Metal Hy Rib Lath for Concrete Slab and Foundation Work

Our Hy Rib Lath is a high-bond expanded metal reinforcement sheet designed specifically for concrete slabs, foundations, and structural base applications. Formed by expanding high-strength steel into a ribbed mesh profile, the sheet delivers outstanding stiffness and maintains excellent shape integrity under the pressure of wet concrete.

The continuous ribs increase load-bearing capacity, while the open mesh structure allows concrete to flow through and lock firmly to the surface, creating a strong mechanical bond. This design ensures improved adhesion, reduced voids, and enhanced stability for slab reinforcement, foundation construction, and precast forming.

Engineered for fast and reliable installation, the Hy Rib Lath performs well in high-rise projects, tunnels, bridges, and other concrete structures where superior bonding and long-term durability are essential.

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.
