The 20-gauge Wire Lath For Stucco is expertly crafted for one-coat stucco applications, providing dimensions of 150' long and 37" wide (51.4 sq yds) for comprehensive coverage. It features a self-furred design with furring points every 4 inches, ensuring consistent and reliable installation. The soft-weave process keeps the netting flat and pliable, preventing issues like rust, broken wires, wavy edges, warps, and bubbles. Its increased width ensures complete coverage from the weep screed to the window sill.

The 17-gauge Wire Lath For Stucco is designed for optimal performance in three-coat stucco applications, measuring 150' long and 36" wide (50 sq yds) for extensive coverage and reliable durability. It is equipped with eight rows of 'Channel Furr' across the width, providing a standard 3/8" furr, and features the soft-weave process to ensure the netting remains flat and pliable, preventing common issues like rust, broken wires, wavy edges, warps, and bubbles. 

Meeting industry standards under ICC Report No. ESR-2055, the manufacturing process results in straight, flat-lying netting that reduces labor costs and minimizes claims and returns. This high-quality mesh enhances the appearance of finished walls, offering superior performance and reliability to avoid typical headaches associated with sub-quality netting.
