Kraft Paper-Backed Rib Lath
Share to：
Rib Lath With Paper is a rigid expanded metal lath combined with an integrated building paper backing, designed to simplify stucco and plaster applications. The cold‑rolled ribs increase stiffness and spanning capability, while the attached paper acts as a convenient weather‑resistive and separation layer behind the plaster. This all‑in‑one product reduces installation steps, improves keying and bond of the scratch and brown coats, and helps control moisture intrusion in exterior wall systems. Ideal for residential and commercial facades, ceilings, and soffits, Rib Lath With Paper delivers consistent performance, faster setup, and durable, crack‑resistant finishes.

Product Application
Rib lath with paper is used as a combined moisture barrier and high‑strength plaster base in exterior wall and soffit systems. The ribbed lath carries stucco or render across wider spans, while the attached paper helps manage incidental moisture and separates the plaster from the sheathing or framing. It is commonly installed over wood or steel studs, sheathing boards, and renovation façades where both drainage protection and structural rigidity are required in one component.
Product Advantages
- Integrated paper backing adds an extra weather‑resistive layer
- Ribbed profile increases stiffness and span capacity
- Provides a strong mechanical key for stucco and plaster systems
- Reduces on‑site steps versus separate paper and lath installation
- Helps limit moisture intrusion into sheathing and framing
- Suitable for walls, soffits, and demanding exterior assemblies
- Available in multiple gauges, rib heights, and paper types
