This variety of wire has the paper attached with it and is used for open stud application mostly. a strand wire runs the length of the paper is inter-weaved,connecting the paper and wire together.It's top and bottom edge are designed to suit on the top of one another and they overlap the paper and wire simultaneously
Stucco wire,also called the wire lath,is installed before applying the inspiration coat of stucco to a surface.Lath is that componant of the system that secure mortar to the structure by means of mechanical bond.The primary of stucco lath are to provide perimeter alignment to the stucco membrane,and an interlock between the structure and therefore the stucco mortar.Stucco lath should be ready to receive and support fresh stucco mortar,and supply aliment for the primary mortar application.Ideally,lath and stucco mortar combine to make an integral unit.This unity depends on the type and the effectivenessof the bond between the two system.
A mechanical bond is obtained by a procedure involving characteristics of the mortar because it changes to a harder material.Upon application the stucco mortar completely covers and clings to the lath,as it hydrates the mortar slowly the lath hardens,eventually leading to the formationof permanent keys. The interior support provided by the embedded lath serves to extend the strength of the resulting stucco membrane.
