Structalath Twin Trac is an innovative reinforcing lath that simplifies the attachment of lath to wood and steel studs. It is excellent for commercial construction; Twin Trac has all the great features of regular Structalath with the addition of eight secondary cold-rolled longitudinal wires that add strength to form a 'track' for convenient attachement. Twin Trac can be substituted wherever 2.5 metal lath has been specified.
Innovative Design
Twin Trac is the only welded wire lath specifically designed to meet the challenges faced by the commercial lathing contractor
Designed to provide for easy attachment for both steel and wood stud construction
Longitudinal wires create a series of eight - 3/16" spacing bands which act as a continuous washer. This allows the easy penetration of self tapping screws, hand nails and a flat base for automatic staples
Flat wires provide a pressure seal at the fastener point that serves to inhibit water leakage
Provides a minimum of 28 rugged furring points per square foot that ensure superior embedment and crack resistance
Economical
Twin Trac in rolls (compared to sheet) provides the most economical and cost effective metal base for three coat stucco for commercial and residential construction projects
Saves material at side and end laps compared to metal lath sheets. The reduction of overlaps means less weak point therefore less shrinkage cracks.
Reduced call backs
Convenient
Worker friendly Twin Trac unwinds from the roll into the flat without curvature memory
Convenient and simple installation
Designed to minimize build-up at horizontal laps. Note: Lapping details available in PDF on right sidebar.
Easy to manage on scaffold, reducing worker fatigue
