Plaster or Stucco on Wooden Lath

Timber framed buildings, historic or new construction, have a tendency for greater movement than solid masonry construction, particularly new green timber construction. To achieve the maximum degree of tolerance for movement in a plaster on wooden lath, a low strength mortar of exceptional modulus of elasticity should be used. This elasticity depends mainly on the free lime content in the binder – an essential element. The St. Astier range offers a product highly suitable for wooden lath work.
