Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Structalath III’s structural design lets stucco span framing while reducing the reliance on separate paper-and-wire buildups; always follow Structa Wire’s fastener pattern and lath direction requirements. Lap rolls several inches at seams and keep the lath flat to avoid hollows that show in the stucco. Verify local code acceptance for structural lath in your jurisdiction before substituting for traditional wire lath.

Cut wire lath ends are sharp and rolls are heavy, so wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection and use two people or mechanical handling for rolls.
