STORY OF THE SPIDERLATH STRIP SYSTEM

  • Foam Furring Strips- Holds SpiderLath off the wall, allowing mortar to fully encapsulate the mesh. This creates a fiberglass-reinforced scratch coat, providing optimal strength and flexibility. SpiderLath gives you a better wall and less cracking.
  • Nailing Guide- Eliminates random fastening by following our code-approved installation guidelines.
  • Gasket Sealer- Seals around fastener hole, preventing water penetration to the substrate.
  • Shock Absorber- Reduces the blow of the fastener, eliminating damage to the glass fibers
