It is scientiflcally designed to meet the exacting needs and requirements for obtaining better plastered walls and ceilings. The exclusive nail slot, and enclosed feathered edge spaces at all edges provide room for the expansion of the lath. These permanent expansion spaces protect the plaster from strains arid stresses set up in the framing members, due to shrinkage. The ship-lapped edges exclude infiltra tion of air at the joints, thus preventing unsightly streaks of dust deposits at these points.
