When it comes to stucco, plaster, and concrete reinforcement, choosing the right lath system is critical for durability and ease of installation. Traditional metal lath may be the industry standard, but it comes with rust, weight, and installation challenges. Enter SpiderLath fiberglass lath, the revolutionary alternative designed for home builders, contractors, and construction professionals who demand efficiency and longevity in their projects.
