Applications
For specified interior or exterior plaster and stucco work over sheathing, masonry and other solid surfaces. It can also be used in suitable wood- or steel-frame walls and specified ceramic-tile assemblies.
Furring and Handling
Match the dimpled lath to the plaster-base detail so the quarter-inch stand-off can perform its intended role. Follow the required attachment and embedment arrangement. The metal edges are sharp; wear appropriate protective gloves.
