Paper-Backed Lath

Galvanized Expanded Steel Plaster/Stucco Base

A superior mesh multi-purpose expanded steel base with an approved Grade-D breather sheet spot attached. Application of asphalt paper-backed (APB) metal lath is used behind stone, traditional stucco and tile installations as a certified breather sheet and also aids in preventing loss of plaster when applying. It is an excellent base for spray-on structural fireproofing, ornamental work, and under ceramic tile. It provides protection against wet areas during stucco curing. The asphalt paper-backed breather sheet meets Federal Specification UUB790A: Type 1, Grade-D, Style 2 and is printed on the face of the paper for easy identification. APB is available with diamond mesh lath, self-furring dimple lath and self-furring v-groove lath.
