How does the fastening of the Structa Wire products differ from other types of lath?
Structa Wire products are approved to allow fastening almost anywhere on the product; unlike other lathing products, ours are not limited to the furring point. Structalath, Structalath Twin Trac, and Structa Mega Lath can all be fastened in one of three ways: • at the furring points. • at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical wires. • anywhere along the horizontal line wires. It is important that fasteners are centered at framing members. Twin Trac and Structa Mega Lath provide double fastening wires at 3/16th of an inch apart which are evenly spaced across the products to make identifying where fasteners should be positioned easy for the installer. Screws or nails should be positioned between the wires and staples should be parallel to and centered within the framing members.
