There never seems to be a shortage of interesting situations in the stucco and EIFS world. With my passion for these industries and my ever-open eyes and ears-to-the-ground alertness, I find myself engaged in some very intriguing conversations usually related to a “situation.” My friend Tim Rogan was the author of a recent online conversation concerning paperbacked metal lath. He is a larger-than-life Texas contractor, complete with requisite drawl, an astute stucco and EIFS professional, fellow ASTM warrior, contributor to this very magazine and just all-around good guy. The paperbacked lath topic he blogged about was interesting enough that I felt the need to write about it so thank you Tim, keep ’em coming.
Let me make some distinctions before I venture on: when I speak of paperback lath, it is that which is to be applied over a framed and/or sheathed wall assembly. I am not referring to any application over cement or CMU or solid structure wall assembly. Nor am I offering an opinion or endorsement of any version.
