Rib Lath Sheet

Rib lath sheets are used to reinforce plaster and render systems where additional strength and rigidity are required. The longitudinal ribs stiffen the sheet, helping support plaster across wider spans and reducing the risk of cracking in ceilings, partitions, and wall applications.

Commonly used in both internal and external construction work, rib lath sheets provide a strong mechanical key for plaster while improving load distribution. They are particularly effective on ceilings, partitions, and areas where standard expanded metal lath may flex under weight.

Available in galvanised steel and stainless steel, rib lath sheets suit a range of environments. Galvanised rib lath is typically used for internal and sheltered applications, while stainless steel rib lath offers enhanced corrosion resistance for exposed, damp, or moisture-prone areas. Selecting the correct material helps ensure long-term performance and a durable finished surface.

Rib lath sheets are widely specified in plastering, rendering, refurbishment, and fire protection systems. When installed correctly, they improve plaster adhesion, increase structural support, and help achieve consistent, professional finishes.
