V Truss for Walls & Ceilings or Structa Rib Lath was designed to improve the performance of stucco on overhead surfaces. V Truss for Walls & Ceilings is a self furring welded wire lath for use as an alternative to 3.4 lb rib metal lath. This product is also approved for use on vertical surfaces and as a reinforcing component for rainscreen wall systems.
Improved Stucco Performance
Applying stucco overhead in the past has meant contending with falling stucco, poor embedment and cracking. Structa Wire has eliminated these frustrations with the design of a unique sheet product. V Truss for Walls & Ceilings, also known as Structa Rib Lath, features key elements that work together to provide easy installation, decreased fall-out and a smooth 'crack free' soffit. The product was refined through a series of field trials where a contractor claimed that this product would "revolutionize" the stucco industry.

Strong, Safe and Easy to Use
V Truss for Walls & Ceilings combines a series of 3/8 - inch ' V ' shaped trusses, and heavy perforated draft paper that is sandwiched between the primary sheet and a back layer of stiffening wires. The sheets are light weight yet strong and easy to cut. Attachment points are identified on the printed kraft paper for ease of installation.
