High Ribbed Formwork 0.35mm Galvanised Metal Rib Lath for Construction
High Ribbed formwork is manufactured from hot-dipped galvanized steel sheets. Because its meshes and U patterns, it has better anti-stress capability and forming flexibility than normal metal lath. This product has excellent engineering quality, construction security and widely used in building construction to form retaining walls, columns, stop ends, construction joints and used to support slab flooring.
High Bond Strength: The deep ribs allow the concrete or plaster to adhere more effectively, increasing the overall structural integrity. Flexibility
Rib Mesh can be easily shaped and adapted to complex forms, making it ideal for irregular or curved surfaces. Lightweight: Despite its strength,
Rib Mesh is relatively lightweight, reducing the load on structural elements and simplifying handling on-site. Efficient Installation:
The design reduces the need for extensive support structures during installation, cutting down on labor and material costs.
Rib lath is popularly known as Expanded Rib Lath, due to its process of expanding of metal sheet. Galvanized steel ribbed lathe
offers ideal building material for plastering base, structural form work and fireproofing construction.
Ribbed Lath made of galvanized steel has anti-corrosion properties and allows for smooth application of coatings such as plaster.
Ribbed Lath offers an adaptable, low cost and efficient solutions for a wide range of construction requirements.
