G60 Galvanized Steel 3/8" High Rib Lath for Structural Concrete Formwork

Product Description

1. Industry-Leading Structural Performance
Engineered for demanding concrete formwork, this 3/8" rib lath features V-shaped ridges that enhance mechanical adhesion and load distribution. ASTM C847 Type I certified, it supports vertical/overhead applications including shotcrete walls (UL fire-rated assemblies) and seismic retrofit projects.

2. Smart Design Saves Time & Costs
Self-furring dimples create a ½" air gap to accelerate curing and prevent moisture damage, reducing labor by 25%. Pre-punched alignment holes enable rapid installation – 30% faster than traditional drilling methods – while diamond ribs ensure 4.2 psi plaster adhesion strength.

3. Built for Harsh Environments
With triple-layer G60 galvanization, it withstands salt spray, alkaline concrete (pH 12), and extreme humidity. Ideal for coastal construction, wastewater facilities, and exterior stucco systems.

4. Versatile Applications

• Tilt-up concrete walls
• Structural fireproofing (2-hour UL-rated)
• Cast-in-place foundations
• Hybrid assemblies with insulation

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.
