Heavy-Duty Steel High Rib Lath with Deep V-Ribs for Structural Reinforcement

Our High Rib Lath is an engineered steel sheet designed specifically for construction areas requiring high rigidity and reliable support. By expanding the steel plate and forming continuous deep V-shaped ribs, the sheet gains outstanding stiffness and load-bearing capability while maintaining a lightweight structure that is easy to cut and fasten onsite.

The open diamond mesh design allows concrete or mortar to pass through smoothly, forming a strong mechanical key with the substrate. This ensures excellent adhesion and improves the overall stability of reinforced walls, formwork bases, and structural repair layers. The ribbed configuration also helps disperse pressure, reducing deformation during pouring or spraying operations.

Suitable for both new construction and renovation work, this heavy-duty rib lath performs well in tunnels, foundations, high-rise projects, and areas requiring enhanced reinforcement. Its consistent quality and dimensional accuracy make it a dependable choice for contractors and engineering teams.

Features & Advantages

• Deep V-Rib Structure
  Ribs pressed into the sheet significantly increase stiffness, helping the lath maintain shape under high loads.

• Strong Bonding Surface
  Expanded diamond openings create multiple anchor points for mortar or concrete.

• High Durability
  Available in galvanized and plain steel options to suit various construction environments.

• Ease of Handling
  Lightweight and simple to trim, tie, or install on steel frameworks, wood frames, or other support bases.

• Cost-Effective Reinforcement
  Helps reduce reliance on traditional formwork while maintaining structural reliability.

FAQ

1. What is High Rib Lath used for?

High Rib Lath is designed for heavy-duty stucco, concrete, and plaster applications. It’s ideal for walls, ceilings, and formwork where superior reinforcement and mechanical keying are required.

2. Does your High Rib Lath meet U.S. and Canadian building codes?

Yes. Our product complies with ASTM C847 and is ICC-ES certified, ensuring it meets the structural and safety requirements of North American construction standards.

3. What makes High Rib Lath different from regular metal lath?

It features deep ribs and expanded metal openings for added stiffness and superior bonding. The ribbed profile provides strong support for thick plaster or concrete applications, even over wide spans.

4. What is the minimum order and lead time?

The MOQ is 2 pallets (total of 1,000 sheets, 500 sheets per pallet). Lead time is typically 15–20 working days, depending on order size and customization.

5. How is the product packaged for export?

We use sturdy palletized packaging for safe container shipping. Each pallet is tightly strapped and can be customized with waterproof wrap or branding labels as needed.
