Deep Rib Reinforced 3 8 Inch Hi Rib Metal Lath With Paper 27x97 Inch Sheet

Product Specification

Deep Rib Reinforced 3 8 Inch Hi Rib Metal Lath With Paper 27x97 Inch Sheet

WSFIVIN revolutionizes plaster and stucco workflows with our 27"x97" factory-cut sheets—pre-engineered to eliminate field trimming and accelerate installation by 50%. Featuring deeply ribbed 3/8-inch galvanized steel fused to moisture-resistant kraft paper, this hybrid system delivers triple-action performance: superior plaster keying, built-in vapor diffusion (ASTM E96 compliant), and load-bearing reinforcement—all in one ready-to-install panel. Ideal for high-volume projects, these dimensionally stable sheets prevent sag on vertical surfaces while accommodating structural shifts in seismic zones, ensuring crack-free finishes from initial cure through decades of service.

Intelligent Engineering for Real-World Durability
Three defining innovations:

• Reinforced Hi-Rib Profile: 20-Gauge steel ribs are press-formed deeper than conventional lath (3/8”) to maximize plaster adhesion depth (+35%) while resisting bending during handling.
• Synergistic Paper Bonding: Factory-laminated barrier repels bulk water yet breathes vapor, shielding wood/steel framing from corrosion and mold without separate membranes.
• Edge-Locked Design: Cross-wire reinforcement at sheet peripheries prevents unraveling and maintains grid alignment during stapling.

 North America’s Go-To Application Efficiency
Precision-optimized for continent-specific builds:

High-Rise Interiors: 97-inch height covers floor-to-ceiling applications in commercial corridors (Chicago) and hotels (Vegas), reducing seams by 80% versus rolls.

Coastal Exteriors: Galvanized steel + paper layer meet Florida’s hurricane-code drainage plane mandates for stucco-clad condos and resorts.

Fire-Rated Assemblies: Integrates seamlessly with Type X gypsum in ASTM E119-rated shaft walls (Toronto high-rises).

Renovation Speed: Drop-in compatibility with 24-inch stud spacing slashes retrofit time for Phoenix apartment upgrades.

Architectural Features: Pre-bent corner beads snap into ribs for ornate crown molding in luxury lobbies.

Contractors & Distributors: Eliminate Waste, Maximize ROI

WSFIVIN equips drywall specialists, stucco crews, and building supply chains with code-compliant, labor-optimized solutions exceeding ASTM C1063/C847. Transform productivity through:

• Zero-Cut Installation: Factory-sized sheets fit standard 8-foot walls—no roll unwinding, measuring, or scraps.
• Staple-Ready Precision: Flush paper backing adheres instantly to sheathing with standard ½” staples.
• Stackable Logistics: Uniform sheets palletize 400% denser than rolls, cutting freight costs for Midwest distributors.
• Custom Accessories: Order matching control joints or reveal beads for turnkey systems.

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.
