METAL LATH & ACCESSORIES
METAL LATH AND ACCESSORIES
Durable beauty starts beneath the surface.
Whether using conventional or veneer plaster,
having the right trims, control joints and corner
reinforcements is an integral part of the wall
system’s appearance and long-term performance.
ClarkDietrich’s history in the manufacturing of metal
lath and accessories gives us unique knowledge of
this trade and the product quality it requires.
Metal lath and accessories create a strong mechanical
bond with plaster, stucco and veneer, providing
superior strength and reinforcement. Expanded
mesh and rigid pronounced edges provide excellent
keying and exacting grounds for superior bonding
and finishing to minimize cracks and shadowing.
Products can be readily shaped to enable ornamental
contours not possible with other materials.
Applications include interior and exterior walls,
ceilings, sots, fascia and ceramic tile underlayment
for both commercial and residential construction.

and ventilation are necessary for good performance.
