Why choose our 0.5mm Aluminum Expanded Metal Lath? The 3/8" diamond opening is specifically designed to create a strong mechanical bond with plaster and stucco, reducing the risk of cracking and delamination. Aluminum’s natural resistance to corrosion ensures long service life, even in humid or coastal environments. The lightweight nature of the material makes handling and installation more efficient, saving labor costs. Additionally, the expanded metal structure provides excellent dimensional stability and fire resistance when used with appropriate plaster systems.
Benefits for your projects:
- Easy installation: Can be cut with tin snips, stapled or nailed to wood or metal studs.
- Enhanced plaster adhesion: Diamond openings create a strong key for wet plaster.
- Rust-free: No risk of rust stains like traditional steel lath.
- Lightweight: Reduces structural load and transportation costs.
- Versatile: Suitable for both new construction and renovation projects.
- Cost-effective: Affordable alternative to fiberglass mesh in some applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: Can this lath be used for exterior stucco?
A: Yes, our aluminum lath is ideal for exterior stucco as it is rust-proof and withstands weather exposure. However, ensure proper installation with a vapor barrier and flashings as per local codes. -
Q: What is the difference between 0.5mm and 0.6mm thickness?
A: 0.5mm offers a balance of flexibility and strength for most plastering applications. 0.6mm is heavier and stiffer, suitable for high-impact areas or thicker plaster layers. We can supply both upon request. -
Q: Do you offer custom sizes?
A: Absolutely. We can cut sheets to your exact width and length, or supply in coils. Please contact us with your requirements. -
Q: Is the lath suitable for ceiling applications?
A: Yes, it is commonly used for suspended ceilings and fire-rated assemblies. Lightweight aluminum reduces load on ceiling joists. -
Q: How do I attach this lath to the substrate?
A: Use galvanized staples, nails, or self-tapping screws. For metal studs, use self-drilling screws. Overlap edges by at least 1 inch (25 mm) and ensure secure fastening. -

A: Sheets are usually packed in bundles with steel strapping, wrapped in waterproof paper, or in wooden crates for export. Custom packaging is available. -
