PermaLath 1000 is a self-furring glass fiber alternative to metal lath for 1/2-inch to 7/8-inch stucco or stone veneer. It offers several advantages over metal lath: rust-proof; pliability with no sharp edges, easy and safe handling; and can be cut with scissors or utility knives. Its weave pattern allows for vertical or horizontal application and it fastens with traditional methods. It can be applied directly over code compliant building paper or polymeric weather resistive barriers such as Tyvek StuccoWrap. Each roll measures 487 square feet yet weighs a very manageable 31 lbs. and replaces the equivalent of 2.7 bundles of metal lath.
