Teco Rib Lath Sheet – Galvanised – 2500 x 600mm – Box of 10

The Teco Rib Lath Sheet – Galvanised – 2500 × 600mm (Box of 10) provides a rigid plaster key for ceilings, partitions, and wall applications. Longitudinal ribs stiffen the sheet, which improves strength and helps control cracking in plaster finishes. As a result, the plaster performs more reliably across wider spans.

Rib lath supports both internal plastering and sheltered external applications. It also reinforces plaster where movement or cracking may occur. However, galvanised steel should only be used in protected environments. For exposed locations or areas subject to moisture, stainless steel rib lath should be selected instead.

Each sheet measures 2500 × 600mm and includes 8mm deep ribs, which increase rigidity and improve load distribution. Supplied in a box of 10, these sheets suit larger plastering and construction projects. During installation, correct overlap and fixing methods are essential. Therefore, installers should follow recommended fixing practices and always wear gloves, as cut edges are sharp.

Installation Notes

• Position ribs so the rib tips sit against the supporting background
• Run ribs at right angles to supports
• Overlap sheets by 50mm end-to-end and 25mm widthways
• Fix to timber supports at each rib using nails, screws, or staples
• Fix to metal supports using tying wire at each rib
• When joining sheets, overlap edge ribs and tie at 150mm centres
• Always use compatible corrosion-resistant fixings
• Wear gloves during handling as edges are sharp

Please Note
Galvanised rib lath is suitable for internal and sheltered external use only. For exposed environments, persistent damp, or extended drying times, stainless steel rib lath should be used.
