Where to buy rib lath

  • Catnic - Pontypandy Industrial Estate, Caerphilly, CF83 3GL, 029 2033 7900

What is the correct way to fix rib lath to timber battens on an external wall in an exposed seaside area?

What fixings should be used - nails or screws or wire ties?

What fixing centres?

There is quite a lot of discussion in the industry about the best way to fix rib laths. Nevertheless, I have found a very useful brochure on the Catnic website (www.catnic.com) 'Building Components Technical Guide' which gives comprehensive guidance on lath installation.

It may also be worth contacting Franklin (Sussex) Ltd featured on this page as they are located on the coast and may have direct experience with regard to installation in exposed seaside locations. Email enquiries@franklinltd.co.uk

I hope that helps,

Kind regards
