High quality metal lath and rib lath , expanded metal, concrete
reinforcement products and building
Preface
Macro-Mesh Rib Lath is expanded metal lath stiffened by
longitudinal steel ribs, formed in the same sheet of metal.
The mesh areas of the lath are expanded by cutting and stretching
in the sheet of metal, the ribs being simultaneously roll-formed.
The furring design of the mesh provides an excellent background
plaster for construction of partitions, suspended ceilings and
refurbishment works. The advantage of rib lath over metal lath is
that the support centres can be increased or widened.
Application
Rib Lath is extensively used:
- As a plaster background for ceilings, walls, partitions and
steelwork encasement.
- To refurbish damaged or aged masonry walls.

Rib Lath (Rib Expanded Metal Lath) is a kind of expanded metal from galvanized steel or 304 stainless steel. Rib Lath offers special extension due to
its special opening and the uniform V type reinforced structure in
the surface. Rib Lath is extensively used in construction of civil
building, industrial building, construction under the water like
banks, ponds, infrastructure engineering as well as municipal
works. Rib Lath works well with other construction materials to
save both cost and energy.
