The patent pending SpiderLath strip system offers these advantages:

• Self Furring Standoffs. Allows mortar material to fill in behind the mesh and hold it on top of the mesh, forming a solid sheet of cementitious material. This allows the fiberglass mesh to be placed in the center of the cementitious material where it provides the optimal strength to assure less cracking and failures.
  
  
• Nailing guide. Less waste of fasteners.
  
  
• Gasket sealer. Seals around fastener holes, preventing penetration of water to the substrate, thus eliminating dry
  rot and mold.
  
  
• Shock Absorbing Mesh Impact system. Reduces the blow of the fastener, eliminating damage to the glass fibers.
