LathNet™ | Patented Drainage Plane and Metal Lath System for Adhered Masonry Veneers

LathNet is a metal lath and drainage plane system that provides a continuous drainage plane between the lath and weather resistant barrier.  Now available with a NEW structured strand polymer mesh that significantly increases ventilation behind the veneer.

The Masonry Advisory Council recommends that in exterior adhered masonry wall systems, a drainage mat be installed to drain any water that has penetrated to the flashing. A galvanized expanded metal lath, or diamond mesh, should be attached atop the drainage mat.
