Wire Lath - Stucco / Plaster Substrate from New England Building Supply is the metal lath that provides the mechanical key for traditional stucco, plaster, and stone veneer. Fastened to the wall substrate, this lath gives cement and mortar a grip to lock onto, forming the reinforced base every cement-based finish needs.
Key features
- Metal lath substrate for stucco, plaster, and adhered stone veneer.
- Mechanical key that locks cement and mortar to the wall.
- Reinforces the scratch coat for a stronger, crack-resistant base.
- Fastens to wood, sheathing, and masonry substrates with standard methods.
- Versatile across stucco, plaster, brick, stone, and masonry applications.
How contractors use it
Crews fasten the wire lath to the substrate over a weather-resistive barrier, lapping sheets as specified. The first scratch coat of stucco or mortar is troweled into the lath so it keys through and embeds, then the assembly receives the brown coat and finish, or the stone veneer is set into the mortar. The lath holds everything together and resists cracking over the life of the wall.
