Expanded Steel Construction Diamond Metal Lath For Ceiling Reinforcement Systems
Purpose-engineered as a gravity-loaded hybrid, this expanded steel framework interlocks 26-gauge diamond lath into a unified substrate that combats plaster sag in vaults, grand foyers, and seismic diaphragm ceilings. Its staggered strand orientation distributes dynamic loads across 360° while cross-welded nodal points lock tensile integrity to +100 psf, preventing substrate delamination under HVAC-induced vibrations in institutional plenum spaces. Fire-rated per ASTM E119 for concealed combustible spaces, the phosphate-primed assembly eliminates furring channels in thin-set
applications across timber or steel decking—with vapor-diffusing apertures mitigating condensation risks in humid pool enclosures and coastal resorts.
Suspended ceiling contractors and seismic retrofit specialists deploy this system for monumentally scaled renovations where simultaneous weight reduction and shear reinforcement are critical. Robotic-flanged perimeter tabs auto-align with structural beams, clipping installations 40% faster than traditional lath-and-channel methods in airport terminals. For skip-trowel textures or Venetian plaster finishes over gypsum, access proprietary acoustic modeling dashboards or specify ICC-ES-certified S-type clips that maintain 0.05” deflection limits across 30-foot spans—all validated by 25-year crystallization warranties per ASTM C847 accelerated corrosion testing in salt-spray environments.

FAQ
1. What is expanded metal lath used for?
It is mainly used as a base for stucco or plaster on walls, ceilings, and soffits. The mesh provides excellent keying for cementitious materials.
2. Does your product meet U.S. and Canadian standards?
Yes. Our expanded metal lath complies with ASTM C847 and CSA standards, and is ICC-ES(5419) certified, ensuring approval for a wide range of North American construction projects.
3. Do you offer different types and weights?
Yes. We offer various rib profiles, mesh patterns, and weights such as 1.75 lbs, 2.5 lbs, and 3.4 lbs per sheet to suit different application needs.
4. What is your MOQ and lead time?
Our minimum order is 2 pallets (total 1,000 sheets, 500 sheets per pallet). Typical lead time is 15–20 working days, depending on order volume and requirements.
5. How is the product packaged for export?
We use standard palletized packaging for safe and efficient container loading and unloading. Custom labels and weather-resistant wrapping are also available upon request.
