What is galvanized expanded metal lath?
Galvanized expanded metal lath, a superior multi-purpose expanded steel base widely used for interior and exterior plaster and stucco reinforcement. The flat surface is easily cut and formed for use with flat or contoured surfaces. It is an excellent base for stone, spray on structural fireproofing, ornamental work, and under ceramic tile. Expanded metal lath is formed from sheet steel that has been slit and expanded to form thousands of plaster “keys” per square yard. Its time proven exceptional strength and flexibility make it the preferred metal base requested by contractors and design professionals.
Galvanized expanded metal lath Features
Flat diamond mesh lath is manufactured by slitting and stretching galvanized steel or stainless steel sheets, thereby allowing the plaster keys to be bonded to the lath and offering better crack resistance and higher strength. It is used as a plaster base and reinforcement on almost all types of walls, ceilings, over wood or steel framing, and flat or curved surfaces. The large number of openings provide better stucco bonding properties.
- Corrosion resistance: galvanization makes the metal slats maintain excellent performance in wet and corrosive environments for a long time.
- High strength: Good tensile strength, compressive strength, and impact resistance, able to withstand large external forces.
- Easy processing: Galvanized diamond mesh lath is also easy to cut, bend, and weld, convenient for construction and installation.
- Aesthetic and practical: the surface is flat and beautiful, which can meet different aesthetic demands.
Common Specification of GI expanded metal lath
Its thickness usually ranges from 0.3mm to 20mm. The size can be cut according to the customer’s demand, common sizes include 1/2, 3/4, 1’x2′, 1’x4′, 2’x2′, 2’x4′, 4’x4′, 4’x8′, 5’x10′ and so on, and specific sizes can be customized according to the need.

Features of rib lath
- The width of the expanded rib lath is generally 600mm and 1000mm, which is very easy to operate.
- This expanded mesh is very different from traditional diamond wire mesh. The hole LWM is arranged as per the rules of lengthways.
- The aperture strand’s structure is unique. The mesh panel edge has wide and strong size mesh.
- The RE is a V type rid mesh in the middle, which makes the expanded mesh have a better rigidity.
- The mesh sheet has no connected point, but the overall structure is a farm.
- It has the overall structure of Withstanding press, is shock-proof, resistant to temperature change.
Galvanized expanded metal lath Surface treatment
Galvanization is the main surface treatment of steel mesh, which can improve the corrosion resistance and durability of steel mesh. In addition to galvanization, other surface treatments such as plastic spraying and painting are also available to meet different customers’ needs.
So in addition to Galvanized metal lath, and stainless steel lath, other materials of steel mesh, in fact, there are: aluminum plate, low carbon steel plate, stainless steel plate, brass plate, and nickel plate material, can be made by punching process.
What is galvanized expanded metal lath used for?
- Wall reinforcement: The galvanized metal lath can be used as wall reinforcement material to improve overall strength and stability.
- Plastering base layer: In plastering projects, it can be used as a base layer material to provide a uniform plastering surface and enhance the adhesion and durability of the plastering layer.
- Heat and sound insulation: Galvanised lath can also be used as heat and sound insulation material, which can achieve effective heat and sound insulation effects through its special structure and material.
- Building decoration: In addition, galvanized rib lath can also be used for building exterior walls, interior walls, and ceiling decoration. In steel structure buildings, steel plate mesh is also often used as connectors and support structures to enhance overall stability.
- Protection: It is often used for guardrails, fences, and other protective facilities in transportation, municipal, gardening, and other fields.
- Filtration: Steel plate mesh can also be used for liquid or gas filtration. Its porous structure can effectively remove impurities and particles to ensure the purity of the fluid.
