Metal Rib Forming Lath

Quick Overview

• In all joint applications, metal ribbed sheets can give considerable performance and economic benefits when compared with traditional solutions.
• Achieves signigicant reductions on the concrete pressures normally associated with conventional formwork.
• Can be placed before rebar which are then installed by piercing through the mesh area.
• Minimizes preparation of the joint surface, so reinforcement placing can continue without a break.
• Allows a high rate of rise of concrete.
• Enables the pour to be visually monitored.
• Reduces the risks of voids and honeycombing.
• Can save time. It is left in place so formwork stripping is eliminated. Only the supports are removed.
• Often can be supported by existing or extra reinforcement. The whole structure can be left in the concrete which eliminates the placing and removal of temporary supports.
• No need to clean, reface and oil formwork.
