Ti lath (
paper back metal lath) is diamond mesh lath, regular or self-furred, to which offset
asphalt saturated kraft building paper has been applied. The grade D paper typically used is water resistant, yet highly vapor permeable. Ti lath reduces moisturePaper Back Metal Lath penetration
while allowing for the dissipation of moisture vapor from within the structure. A foundation weep screed at the bottom of all framed walls aids in the evacuation of any moisture that might reach the
surface of the building paper. (Required by most codes) The offset paper, which is recessed from one end and one side and overhangs on the opposite end and side, allows the applicator to easily
install this product correctly as prescribed by ASTM C1063.
