LathNet is a metal lath and drainage plane system that provides a continuous drainage plane between the lath and weather resistant barrier. The Masonry Advisory Council recommends that in exterior adhered masonry wall systems, a drainage mat be installed to drain any water that has penetrated to the flashing. A galvanized expanded metal lath, or diamond mesh, should be attached atop the drainage mat.
- Faster installation and fewer wall penetrations than installing a drainage plane and lath separately
- Combines proven components in an engineered and tested system
- Factory assembly ensures consistent quality
- Clearly shows 1” minimum lath overlap to comply with ASTM C847
- Promotes full lath encapsulation without clogging the drainage plane
- Drainage mesh provides an effective mortar barrier to prevent bridging
- Continuous drainage plane allows rapid, unrestricted moisture flow to the weep holes
- Allows unrestricted air flow behind the lath to help promote drying
- Assembled in the USA from 100% USA-made materials
