Testimonials
We do a lot of stucco applications on chimneys and ICF walls and veneer stone applications that all require galvanized wire mesh to attach the stucco or thin set to the substrate. This stuff is very unpleasant to work with and can lead to moisture migration into the wall. SpiderLath is a fiberglass lathe with rubber gaskets that you nail through to attach it to the wall so you will not have leaks through the fastener penetration and it comes in a 4’ x 75’ light weight roll that is very easy to work with and corrosion proof. It solves a difficult problem in a very elegant way.

My name is Paul from Western Michigan University concrete canoe team. You sent us a sample of your product SpiderLath and we love it! It is a far better product then any other mesh we've tested. We would really like to use it as reinforcement in our concrete canoe. We will also send you more pictures we actually build the canoe. Thanks again for your help and we love your product.

(customer of Kuhlman Corp., Toledo, Ohio) applying SpiderLath for the first time. Following are some of the comments from Dan and his assistant as they worked with SpiderLath.
“Cuts like butter. No sharp edges. Nails up nice and quick”
“Far less cutting and less pieces to deal with.”
“Easier to trowel over than metal lath.”
“Simple to trim around windows and make cuts for electrical wiring.”
“Takes mortar better along the edge.”
“Metal lath tends to vibrate on the edges and makes it difficult for mortar to hang on it.”
“We don’t have to figure which way is up or down on the lath.”
"I really like your product it's been working very well, thanks a lot for you help. Our workers like working with the much lighter, easier to use material as well. They're not getting any cuts on their hands from the metal and it's much, much easier to cut. So i just thought i'd say thanks, and that i'm happy the wait is over. I was getting really tired of the metal."
John, Quarry Stone Ltd.
"I save OVER 50% on my installation labor costs when I use SpiderLath! The ease of installation is unbelieveable and a lot safer than the old metal lath. I will only recommend and use SpiderLath!"
Jay Harvester, NW Mfg Stone.
