Self-Furring High Rib Lath 3.4lbs Load-Bearing

Engineered for Superior Structural Integrity and Plaster Adhesion

WSFIVIN’s Self-Furring High Rib Lath combines rigid support with intelligent design, featuring 3/8" V-shaped ribs and self-furring dimples for automatic ¼" standoff. This 3.4lbs/sq.yd lath excels in load-bearing applications such as steel column fireproofing and ceilings, supporting up to 500kg/m² vertical loads while ensuring optimal plaster keying.

Key Product Advantages

Self-Furring Design: ¼" embossed dimples eliminate manual spacing, ensuring uniform plaster adhesion across surfaces

Reinforced Rib Geometry: Seven longitudinal ribs with eight flat stiffeners resist deflection under wet plaster

ASTM-C847 Compliance: G60 galvanized coating provides >5,000-hour salt spray resistance

Studless Partition Capability: Cross-oriented rib alignment replaces vertical supports, reducing material costs

Primary Applications

Overhead Ceiling Systems: Supports wet plaster in steel/wood joist constructions

Vertical Formwork: Maintains dimensional stability in concrete casting

Structural Fireproofing: Encases steel beams/columns with non-combustible coatings

Installation Benefits

Single-Layer Efficiency: Combines structural reinforcement and plaster bonding

Wide 24” Framing Intervals: Reduces substructure costs in commercial projects

Code Compliance: Meets IBC seismic requirements for partition 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.
