Rib Lath

Expanded Galvd 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 advantages of rib lath over metal lath is that the support centers can be increased or widened.

Ribbed Lath is a versatile metal lath stiffened by the longitudinal ribs. It has V ribs and greater tensile strength offering excellent plaster base and reinforcement for all types of walls, ceilings and fireproofing of steel beam, and columns. Ribbed lath is ideal for providing a high degree key of mechanical bonding with plaster or render.

Rib Lath Features Compared with Other Metal Laths:

It provides ample keying for scratch coat.

It is commonly used for plaster machine application.

It gives a uniform coat depth for large area.

Ribbed lath is produced in hot dipped galvanized steel, zinc coated carbon steel or stainless steel.

Application

Rib Lath is stiffened by longitudinal ribs, for use on ceilings and partitions. For internal and external plaster key applications and anti-crack control. In external applications and where there is regular exposure to moisture, heavy condensation, persistent damp or concern that drying out times may be extended stainless steel should be used.

Installation

Fixing of Rib Lath Sheets

• Rib Lath is fixed so that the tip of the rib is placed against the supporting background. The rib of the sheet should run at right angles to any supports. Ensure that the sheets are overlapped by a minimum of 50mm end to end and by 25mm widthways and that the ribs are nestled together.

Timber Support

• Rib Lath is fixed at each rib to timber supports using plasterer’s nails, screws or staples. Ensure that compatible corrosion resistant fixings are used, i.e. do not used galvanised fixings for stainless steel.

Metal Support • Rib lath is fixed at each rib to metal support using 1.63mm galvanised or stainless steel tying wire. When joining Rib Lath sheets overlap the edge ribs and tie the edges with 1.22mm tying wire at 150mm centres.

Solid Background • Rib Lath can be fixed to a solid background using a suitable fixing which holds the ribs firmly against the background. Where sheets are installed vertically, fixings should be positioned through all ribs at 600mm centres to ensure adequate stability. • Always ensure that compatible corrosion resistant fixings are used, i.e. do not used galvanised fixings with stainless steel products or vice versa. • Gloves should be worn as edges will be sharp. • Recommended hole spacing's are on the following page
