GALVANISED EML EXPANDED METAL LATH SHEET 2500mm x 600mm

GALVANISED EML EXPANDED METAL LATH SHEET

SPECIFICATION

All galvanised materials are manufactured from steel to DX51.BSEN 10142 (g 275).

FIXING OF EML SHEETS

EML is fixed so that the tip of the rib is placed against the supporting background. The EML of the sheet should run at right angles to any supports. Ensure that sheets are overlapped by a minimum of 50mm end to end and by 25mm width ways and that the ribs are nestled together.

TIMBER SUPPORT

EML is fixed at each rib to timber supports using plasterers' nails or staples. Ensure that compatible corrosion resistant fixings are used, ie. do not use galvanised fixings for stainless steel.

METAL SUPPORT

EML is fixed at each rib to metal support using 1.63mm galvanised or stainless steel tying wire. When joining rib-lath sheets overlap the edge ribs and tie the edges with 1.22mm tying wire at 150mm centers.

SOLID BACKGROUND

EML can be fixed to a solid background using a suitable fixing which holds the ribs firmly against the background. Where sheets are installed vertically, fixings should be positioned through all ribs at 600mm centers to ensure adequate stability.
