Lath Furring Strips

A furring strip for an outside corner of a wall for attaching a lath and an insulation layer to a wall, comprising:

• a first mounting plate having an interior side that is substantially planar, said interior side for placement substantially flush against the wall and a first exterior side for placement of said insulation layer;
• a second mounting plate having an interior side that is substantially planar, said interior side for placement substantially flush against the wall and a second exterior side for placement of said insulation layer, said second mounting plate is substantially perpendicular to said first mounting plate;
• a first mounting leg extending angularly from said first mounting plate, said first mounting leg having a first attachment hole for attaching lath;
• a second mounting leg extending angularly from said second mounting plate, said second mounting leg having a second attachment hole for attaching lath;
• said first mounting leg is secured to said second mounting leg;
• said insulation layer positioned against first and said second exterior sides of said first and said second mounting plates;
• and,
• whereby said lath furring strip provides superior insulation and moisture protection when said insulation layer is placed between said mounting plates and said lath.

A furring strip for attaching a lath and an insulation layer to a wall, comprising:

• a mounting plate having an interior side that is substantially planar, said interior side having a recessed groove for placement of a flexible elastic barrier, and said mounting plate having an exterior side;
• a mounting leg secured to, and extending substantially perpendicular from said mounting plate;
• said insulation positioned against said exterior side of said mounting plate, said mounting leg passing through said insulation;
• said mounting leg having at least one attachment hole for securing said lath to said furring strip;
• whereby the positioning of said insulation layer between said lath and said mounting plate is that only the furring strip, and not the insulation layer, is penetrated to secure said furring strip to the wall protects against water intrusion and thermal bridging.
