STRIP LATH
ClarkDietrich strip lath is a flat
expanded metal strip used as plaster
reinforcement over joints of non-
metallic lathing bases and where
dissimilar bases join. It’s commonly
attached diagonally at the corners
of doors, windows or areas prone
to cracks. It may also be used to
span pipe chases or reinforce other
stress points such as the corners of
openings in the stucco membrane
within the lath system.

Cornerite™ METAL LATH ANGLE
Cornerite™ metal lath angle is
used to reinforce all inside or inner
plaster corners to reduce corner
cracking. Formed from finished
edge strip lath, it’s bent lengthwise
to a 100° angle to ensure a snug fit
into 90° corners. It’s commonly
used when walls meet walls or
ceilings, over inner angles of
masonry construction, and in the
floating-angle method of applying
gypsum lath to wood framing.
