Structalath

Structalath No. 17 1- 1/2″ x 1-1/2″ SF CR III is a welded wire lath, engineered to enhance the performance of stucco cladding. Structalath reduces cracking and increases stucco embedment while being easy to install, enhancing worker satisfaction and productivity. Structalath 316 is a version of our regular Structalath with a reduced furr depth of 3/16″ for use in One Coat systems.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

  • Structalath provides excellent reinforcing value and crack resistance
  • It mobilizes all wires to provide a reinforcing truss
  • Welded joints provide structural integrity and superior stiffness
  • Square openings at 1 1/2″ provide crack-bridging capability
  • Furring pattern allows excellent keying in the stucco

PATENTED COLD-ROLLED TECHNOLOGY

  • Cold-rolled technology delivers flattened longitudinal wires, unique to Structalath products, for greater strength
  • Flat longitudinal wires mean that the roll of wires do not ‘spring back’ when unrolled, for ease of installation and enhanced worker safety
  • The cold rolled process increases tensile and breaking load of the wire
  • The wires in our product are aligned with the stress direction, resulting in the full tensile strength of the wires

EXCELLENT FURRING

  • Furr depth of 1/4″ provides for ideal stucco embedment
  • Each cross wire is securely furred
  • Flat-furr design ensures there will be no damage to the vapour barrier
  • Tensioning of wire during installation will not flatten out the furr

WORKER-FRIENDLY

  • Structalath rolls are easy to handle, reducing lathers’ fatigue and increasing productivity
  • Structalath is designed with safety in mind: Structalath will not spring back on the applicator, reducing the number of cuts for workers
  • The easy-to-handle nature of the product means greater worker satisfaction and productivity
  • Structalath is designed for ease of application to cover 9′ 3″ wall heights (common in residential construction)
  • Structalath minimizes build-up and thickness at horizontal laps. Please download lapping detail drawing for recommended installation.

Our Products

ROLLS OUT FLAT AND STAYS FLAT

Structalath No. 17 1- 1/2″ x 1-1/2″ SF CR II is a welded wire lath engineered to enhance the performance of stucco cladding. Structalath reduces cracking and increases stucco embedment. Flattened line wires are integrated into the product to prevent damage to the vapour barrier and make the rolls easy to handle on the job-site with no spring back.

FOR STEEL AND WOOD FRAMING

Twin Trac features all of Structalath’s benefits with the addition of eight secondary cold-rolled longitudinal wires, adding weight and strength to create a ‘track’ that acts as a continuous washer for easy penetration of self-tapping screws, hand nails and a flat base for automatic staples. Twin Trac can be substituted wherever 2.5 metal lath has been specified.

LESS METAL, MORE STRENGTH

MegaLath is a dense and heavy-duty reinforcing product that weighs 1.95 lbs/yd2. MegaLath includes the Twin Trac feature as well as additional line wires for an extra-strong cement plaster base. It is approved for use on commercial and institutional projects and wherever 3.4 lb/yd2 diamond mesh metal lath has been specified. Mega Lath can also be installed 24″ OC over open framing.

STRAIGHT AND TRUE CORNERS

Structa V Truss Corner is engineered to provide superior reinforcement for stucco corners. The Truss design provides greater strength, ease of installation and increased embedment. With lots of nailing opportunities and the twin trac on edges, it increases rigidity. It is available in Bullnose, One Coat and Three Coat. Our loop design is exclusive to our specialty profiles: short Flange Bullnose Short Flange and Arch.

FOR OVERHEAD APPLICATIONS

V Truss for Walls & Ceilings is a stiff sheet product that is self-furred and is approved for use in place of 3.4 rib lath. VTWC improves the performance of stucco on overhead surfaces and eliminates the frustrations of overhead applications such as falling stucco, stucco build up at laps and poor embedment. Easy to install, this product assures a smooth ‘crack free’ soffit.
