Laths make an ideal substrate for lime-based renders and plaster. They help to keep the timber frame rigid and also provide a strong backing for the render or plaster to key to. This is vital as lime does not set as hard as cement renders.
Note: Before using laths always soak them in clean water for as long as possible.

We provide the following range of lath options:
| Product Type | Characteristics |
| Hand riven oak | Very strong; no short grain; good key characteristics. Will outlast any other type of lath. |
| Hand riven chestnut (sweet) | Strong; no short grain; very good key characteristics; straighter than oak, thus less wasteful. Will last almost as long as oak. |
| Sawn oak | The longest lasting and strongest of sawn laths, but not as strong or as long lasting as riven oak – a good compromise. |
| Sawn larch (durable softwood) | Untreated naturally durable softwood with a very low knot content. Good value for money. |
| Hazel round & 1/2 round wattles | Coppiced hazel for traditional wattle and daub. |
| Stainless steel fixing nails | Annular ring shank nails that are not corroded by oak or chestnut tannins. |
