When building exterior walls with stone, stucco, brick cedar or fiber cement siding, it is important to use an effective rain screen system that provides drainage and ventilation. Without this protection, moisture finds its way into the wall systems via cracked mortar joints, gaps or cracks in the surface of the material. Natural absorption of the edges of wood or fiber cement board should also be considered. Once moisture penetrates the outer wall surface it becomes trapped in the wall system. Without any way of escaping, the trapped moisture creates a perfect environment for toxic mold growth and possible structural failure.
Plastic Components' Ultra-Lath® plastic lath is ideal for all vertical cladding with drainage.
The Ultra-Lath drainage mat increases air circulation and provides superior moisture management in the wall, Plus, its high compressive strength prevents crimping at fastening points, eliminating blockages.
It comes in convenient plastic strips (Strip-Lath®) for use as furring strips, and/or sheets and rolls for full coverage.
Safe and easy to use, and unaffected by salt, moisture and chemicals, heavy-duty Ultra-Lath plastic lath is self-furred and compatible with all cement-based products.

ULTRA-LATH®
ULTRA-LATH, the heavy-duty, non-rusting alternative to galvanized metal lath is safe and easy to use, and impervious to both harsh chemicals found in cement base products and moisture. Sand won't effect its performance and it won't rust. Self-furred for positive keying of stucco, it lowers installed costs, cuts with a utility knife, and is easy to transport to the jobsite. Applicators love handling it, no cuts, no scrapes, no torn clothing! ULTRA-LATH is made with polyethylene (like your milk cartons), so it's safe to handle. See SBCCI report #94182. Meets ASTM 330.84 and ASTM 330.84b.
Basic Use:
As an alternative to metal lath. USE ONLY FOR A VERTICAL STUCCO APPLICATION. Ideal for countertop installations and a superior alternative for use as an underlayment for tile and marble floors. Designed for applications on type 6 exterior walls, which are not required to be fire resistance rated. DO NOT USE for soffits or horizontal applications.
