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

The Teco Rib Lath Sheet – Stainless Steel – 2500 × 600mm (Box of 10) provides a rigid plaster key for ceilings, partitions, and wall applications. Longitudinal ribs stiffen the sheet and improve strength. As a result, plaster finishes gain better crack control and long-term durability.

Rib lath supports internal plastering and demanding external applications. Because stainless steel resists corrosion, this sheet performs reliably in exposed, damp, or coastal environments. It also reinforces plaster where movement or stress may occur, therefore reducing the risk of cracking in finished surfaces.

Each sheet measures 2500 × 600mm and features 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 remain essential. For this reason, 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
• Overlap edge ribs and tie at 150mm centres
• Always use compatible corrosion-resistant fixings
• Wear gloves during handling as edges are sharp

Please Note
Stainless steel rib lath is recommended for external, exposed, damp, or coastal environments. For dry internal or sheltered areas, galvanised rib lath may be suitable.
