RAW Galvanised Steel Lath 2500 x 600mm

The RAW Lath is designed for reinforcement in plastering applications, providing superior strength and adhesion. Its expanded galvanised steel design ensures a solid grip for plaster, making it ideal for walls, ceilings, and partitions in internal construction. RAW Rib Lath may be fixed to a solid background using proprietary fixings suitable for holding the sheets firmly in place. The edge Ribs should be nested with the apex of the Rib in contact with the background and fixed to the background at 150mm centres. Sheet ends should overlap by at least 100mm. A row of fixings should be applied at 600mm horizontal spacing, starting 350mm in from the sheet ends and 200mm in from each of the top and bottom sides (for horizontally positioned sheets). The use of sand or water contaminated with soluble salts in plastering mixes should be avoided, as should soluble chlorides as they are likely to increase the risk of metal corrosion. In external applications and in conditions where heavy condensation, persistent damp or regular exposure to moisture are likely, stainless steel should be specified.
