Metal Lath Products & Accessories

AMICO is the largest manufacturer of Metal Lath in the world producing many variations for specific uses.

Manufactured from prime quality steel sheets that are slit and expanded to form small diamond shaped openings (over 10,000 per square yard). This large number of openings provides more plaster keys than any other type of lathing material. This allows for better stucco bonding in either pumped or troweled applications. Each sheet has square ends and smooth parallel edges for fast, easy handling and installation; and can be readily bent for curved surfaces.

Diamond Mesh Lath Nominal sheet size 27” x 97” Packaging: 10 pcs. (20 square yards) per bundle - 50 bundles (1000 square yards) per pallet. All diamond mesh lath is produced from hot dip galvanized steel per ASTM A653, A924 and C847.

SELF-FURRED DIAMOND MESH LATH is used extensively in exterior stucco work over sheathing and as a plaster base over masonry walls. Self-furring dimples or embossed “V” ribs (“V” groove) hold the lath approximately ¼ inch away from solid surfaces to aid in the keying of stucco to the lath.

AMICO self-furred lath does not require additional self-furring mechanisms to function as required by ASTM C1063.

Self-Furred Lath is packed 25 bundles per pallet - 500 square yards per pallet

1/8” RIB LATH (FLAT RIB)
This lath has eighteen ribs approximately 1/8 inch high, spaced 1½ inches on center to provide additional rigidity for horizontal stucco applications. There are approximately 8,500 openings or keys per square yard to aid in keying. 2.75 lb. and 3.4lb. may be used for horizontal spans up to 16” o.c. and 19” o.c. respectively when installation follows ASTM C1063. This product is also used extensively as a base for ceramic tile.

SMOOTHEDGE STRIPLATH

Diamond Mesh Lath formed in strips 4" and 6" wide with smooth edges. This product is used at the corners of all openings such as doors and windows for reinforcement. Openings often cause weakened areas that are prone to cracks. This product may be used to reinforce other stress points in the lath assembly. Available in galvanized steel only.

SMOOTHEDGE CORNALATH

This is an angle lath with smooth edges formed like regular Diamond Mesh Lath. Cornalath is used in corners where walls meet walls or ceilings. This reinforcing of interior corners helps prevent cracks. Angles are approximately 1050 to offer resistance when pushed into the corner. Available in galvanized steel only.

Corners and openings at doors and windows require extra reinforcement

AMICO Smoothedge Striplath are 4 inch and 6 inch pre-cut strips of our Diamond Mesh Lath. These closed smooth edged strips areintended to be installed around door and window frames for added reinforcement and aid in the prevention of cracking.

Wall to wall and wall to ceiling inside corners need the additional reinforcement supplied by AMICO Smoothedge Cornalath that helps reduce cracks. Angles are pre-formed to be 105º so as to offer resistance when installed.
