Yes. We recommend Structalath Twin Trac or Structa Mega Lath be utilized; both are approved alternatives to either 2.5 pound per square yard or 3.4 pound per square yard metal lath, respectively. It is recommended that the fastening penetrate into the frame members at nominal 6 inch vertical and 16 inch on center. Structa products should be installed over a weather resistant barrier, followed by a scratch coat, then brown coat or mortar setting bed.
