Here’s why SpiderLath is the superior choice for professional tradespeople & artisans alike:

The SpiderLath Advantage:

Lightweight & Compact – Easy to Transport and Store

The SpiderLath fiberglass roll can easily be transported to & from any job in most vehicles vs. multiple sheets of metal lath in a truck or van. SpiderLath is easy to handle weighing 7 lbs. per 100-square-foot roll or 21 lbs. for a 300-square-foot roll. The SpiderLath roll is approximately 4x lighter than metal lath sheets. One person can carry the roll, even on scaffolding, without the need for a second person. SpiderLath makes any job easy for one person vs. two.

Saves Time & Money – Up to 50% Faster than metal lath

SpiderLath significantly saves installation time & money compared to standard sheets of metal lath. SpiderLath has patented ¼” furring strips that offset the lath from the wall to meet building code requirements. The convenient roll design means less time on the job site and less labor costs—whether you’re working on a residential or commercial project.

Easy to Cut & Install – Effortlessly cut & install on any job SpiderLath is easy to cut vs. metal lath for installs & for cut out’s around various items on the wall during installation. SpiderLath has patented ¼” furring strips that offset the lath from the wall & make fastening easy. SpiderLath can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally depending on the project on any jobsite. This lightweight & compact fiberglass roll design in various sizes translates to faster & easier installations.

No Rust – Corrosion Resistant & Prevents Moisture Penetration

Traditional metal lath is prone to rust and corrosion, especially in coastal areas and other moisture rich environments (water parks, pools, etc.). SpiderLath is made of AR coated fiberglass, making it completely rust-proof and corrosion-resistant, in all environments. SpiderLath has patented ¼” furring strips that helps serve as a gasket like seal around the fastener. This reduces the impact of the fastener & protects the fiberglass mesh from damage. SpiderLath’s innovation ensures a stronger bond & a long-lasting low maintenance solution that won’t degrade over time – reducing cracks & damage & minimizes call backs.

Durable – Built to Last

SpiderLath boasts fiberglass-reinforced superior tensile and flexural strength which, when applying your scratch coat, enhances the structural integrity of any masonry project. The patented design reduces the risk of cracks and creates a durable layer, even under the weight of heavy materials like three-coat stucco or natural thin stone veneer.

Code Approved – For Efficient & Safer Job Sites

SpiderLath has patented ¼” furring strips that offset the lath from the substrate to meet building code requirements, make fastening easy, & the patented furring strips serve as gasket like seal with fasteners. Sometimes when you work with the sharp edges of metal lath it can often leads to cuts & scratches. SpiderLath is a user-friendly alternative to the cumbersome task of working with metal lath. SpiderLath can be easily cut with scissors or a utility knife, eliminating the risk of injury & loss time on the jobsite. SpiderLath allows an easy, safe, & smooth installation process that improves overall job site safety.
