O = Paper is oset 1" on one long edge and end to ensure proper lath-to-lath laps and a 
minimum 2" paper overhang on the opposing long edge and end.
Note: Asphalt paper-backed lath is available in a variety of osets for various applications 
requiring a moisture barrier. Paper conforms to Federal Specification UU-B-790A; type
grade D, style 2 and type 1, grade B, style 1a.
SELFFURRING DIMPLED LATH 
ClarkDietrich self-furring 
dimpled lath is manufactured with 
approximately 1/4" deep dimples 
that raise diamond mesh away from 
solid surfaces to enable thorough 
plaster or stucco penetration 
into and behind the lath for 
superior mechanical bonding. The 
dimples are spaced every 1-1/2" 
over the rectangular sheet, with 
approximately 11,000 keys per 
square yard. Fasteners must be 
applied within the dimple cavity, 
to maintain designed furring 
characteristics.
