2 minUpgrade Your Next Project With FibaLath
When starting a stucco or manufactured stone project, choosing the right lath is critical to both performance and efficiency. While metal lath has been the traditional option for decades, it often introduces challenges—sharp edges that can cause injuries, rigid sheets that are difficult to work with, and corrosion over time. Moisture penetrates stucco and stone facades, metal lath rusts, leading to staining, delamination, and never-ending costly repairs down the line.
ADFORS FibaLath®, is a fiberglass alternative designed to solve these issues. It’s up to four times lighter than metal lath, making it easier to transport, handle, and install—often without the need for team lifting. Delivered in large rolls instead of rigid sheets, FibaLath can be quickly unrolled, cut with simple tools, and easily wrapped around curves, corners, and columns. The result is faster installation, improved safety, and reduced labor strain on the jobsite.
In addition to ease of use, FibaLath is built for long-term performance. Its alkali-resistant coating prevents deterioration in cement-based applications and ensures it will never rust (non-metallic) —helping maintain the integrity and appearance of the finished façade. It provides the same continuous reinforcement as metal lath and can be used across a wide range of applications, including exterior stucco, cement plaster, and manufactured stone or brick systems.
With superior performance, easier installation, and long-term durability, Fibalath reduces labor costs while supporting a stone façade designed to perform for the life of the wall system.
