Types of stucco netting

There are many types of stucco netting, selecting the right one for your project depends on various factors. Galvanized wire stucco netting is a very popular choice since wire coated in zinc prevents the formation of rust and is suitable for both interior and exterior applications.

Other types of stucco netting are fiberglass stucco netting or plastic stucco netting. All wall constructions have different requirements.

What does furring mean in stucco netting for wall construction?

Stucco netting is available in two main types: self-furred and non-furred. Furring is a type of stucco netting that consists of a metal mesh or lath with ridges on one side. These ridges provide spacing between the netting and the existing wall, allowing for proper ventilation and drainage behind the stucco or plaster.

The self-furring stucco netting allows for adequate bonding of the materials.

When using non-furred stucco netting, additional furring strips are typically required to create the necessary gap between the netting and the substrate. These furring strips can be made of wood, metal, or other suitable materials.

Whatever version of stucco netting you choose for your project, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for correct installation.

Mid-Continent Steel and Wire has furred and non-furred stucco netting with red markings every 6 inches on 17 gauge or 20 gauge mesh in compliance with construction regulations. Our Stucco Netting comes with a paper wrap that identifies and protects each roll from dust, and its the ideal reinforcement for Portland gypsum plaster, stucco one coat & 3 coat systems, masonry veneer, cultured stone, casi-stone, and ceramic tile.

Stucco netting is widely used in the wall constructions.

Stucco netting, a classical and basic material in wall construction as the supporting and reinforcing mesh. It is a kind of steel wire mesh with hexagonal meshes. The stucco netting is mainly made of galvanized steel wire and then reverse twisted into hexagonal meshes. The reverse twist structure make the stucco netting a solid, uniform and flat structure for high strength and durability. Reinforced wires can be added onto the stucco netting for higher load capacity and maintain flatness.

Compared with other type stucco netting, such as welded wire mesh or expanded metal mesh, the woven structure will not cracking and loosing when it is cut into pieces.

Stucco netting is widely used in various wall surface for plastering, cementing, stuccoing and other wall constructions.
