EML Galvanised Sheet and Fixings – 2438 x 685mm – Box of 10

The Teco EML Galvanised Sheet and Fixings – 2438 × 685mm (Box of 10) provides a strong mechanical key for plaster on walls and suspended ceilings. It supports plaster adhesion and helps reinforce surfaces where additional strength and stability are required.

Each box contains 10 sheets, 500 Special – Ultimate Screws – 4 × 40mm and 500 M6 × 30mm BZP penny washers for fixing to timber supports. This gives you the equivalent of 50 screws and 50 washers per sheet.

Expanded metal lathing also supports the encasement of steel columns and beams. Therefore, it can form part of specified fire protection and plaster build-up systems.

In addition, galvanised steel suits dry internal and protected, sheltered applications where moisture exposure remains limited. Each sheet measures 2438 × 685mm and covers approximately 1.67m² before allowing for overlaps.

Correct positioning, overlap and fixing remain essential during installation. Therefore, always follow the manufacturer’s guidance and the project specification.

Installation Notes

First, fix sheets with the long edge spanning between supports. Ensure the mesh strands slope downwards and inwards from the plaster face.

Next, overlap sheets by 50mm lengthways and 25mm widthways.

For timber supports, fix using suitable screws and washers at 100mm centres. The pack includes screws and penny washers for this purpose. However, check the manufacturer’s guidance and project specification to confirm fixing quantities and suitability. Additional fixings may be required depending on the support layout.

Alternatively, fix to metal supports using compatible corrosion-resistant 1.2mm tying wire at 100mm centres. This pack does not include tying wire.

Finally, wear gloves during handling, as cut edges may be sharp.

Galvanised EML suits dry internal and protected, sheltered applications. Check that the supplied fixings are suitable for the installation environment. For exposed locations, persistent moisture, condensation or extended drying times, select stainless steel expanded metal lathing with suitable stainless steel fixings.
