Expanded Metal Lath Mesh, Masons Supply Company, Galvanized, 27 in W x 8 ft L

Metal lath provides a lightweight and easily attachable base for many applications such as plaster, mortar scratch coat, stucco, and veneer stone or brick. Works for interior and exterior applications. Made from galvanized expanded steel, the lath generally is applied flat across the stud plane with a vapor barrier behind it and attached with staples, nails, or wafer head lath screws. The openings in the lath enable plaster, stucco, or mortar to key" around the metal to assure a secure bond and a flat, smooth surface plane for the finishing material."
