A welded wire mesh for use in securing stucco, plaster or other exterior finishing material to a building wall or other structure wherein the mesh comprises a matrix of longitudinally and transversely extending wires. The wires define intersections where the transversely extending wires are welded to the transversely extending wires and a plurality of deformations are formed in at least a portion of the wires between the intersections. The deformations cooperate with the stucco, plaster or other exterior finishing material to define a mechanical locking keys therebetween. The mesh can be disposed adjacent a flexible backing for providing a water vapor barrier, fire retardant or other desired property to the lath.
A welded wire mesh for use in securing an exterior finishing material to a building wall or other structure as the material dries about and bonds to the wire mesh, said mesh comprising a matrix of longitudinally and transversely extending wires, said wires defining intersections, said longitudinally extending wires being welded to said transversely extending wires at said intersections, and a plurality of spaced surface deformations formed in at least a portion of said longitudinally and/or transversely extending wires between said intersections, said surface deformations defining variations in the cross-sectional configuration of said wires between said intersections and cooperating with the exterior finishing material to define a plurality of mechanical locking keys therebetween.
A welded wire lath structure for use in securing an exterior finishing materials to a building wall or other structure as the material dries about and bonds to the wire mesh, said lath structure comprising a backing and a matrix of longitudinally and transversely extending wires secured to said backing, said wires comprising a matrix of longitudinally and transversely extending wires, said wires defining intersections, said longitudinally extending wires being welded to said transversely extending wires at said intersections, and a plurality of spaced surface deformations formed in at least a portion of said longitudinally and/or transversely extending wires between said intersections, said surface deformations defining variations in the cross-sectional configuration of said wires between said intersections and cooperating with the exterior finishing material to define a plurality of mechanical locking keys therebetween.
