Plaster beads & expanded metal

Expanded metal & lath

الشبك المعدني الممدد وشبك القصارة

Rib lath, coil lath and corner mesh that key the render across dissimilar substrates and over service chases.

Expanded metal & lath

Render cracks where it crosses two different materials — block and concrete, or a filled service chase — because each moves differently. A strip of expanded metal fixed across the junction spreads that movement and gives the render a mechanical key across the full width.

Plaster beads, expanded metal lath, steel lintels, blockwork accessories and blockwork reinforcement are all covered by the same KAVITY-03 catalogue.
