Stucanet®

Stucanet® is a lightweight wire panel made of galvanised steel, combined with moisture-absorbing, perforated cardboard. This innovative construction ensures excellent mortar adhesion and prevents stress cracks. Thanks to its bendable structure, Stucanet® is ideal for creative applications such as curved ceilings, niches, decorative mouldings or three-dimensional shapes.

Benefits at a glance:

  • Quick to process and easy to customise
  • Suitable for flat and curved surfaces
  • Strong adhesion thanks to open structure and absorbent board
  • Available in various designs, also in stainless steel (SS)

 

With more than 40 years of experience in stucco supports, Ripstaal delivers top quality - produced in-house, with technical support for every application.

Stucanet® S

Stucanet® S has 2 parallel round fixing threads, and can be used in both flat and non-planar applications (e.g. arch shapes). This is because it can easily be folded to shape in all directions, unlike Stucanet® 80.

Stucanet® 80

The ideal plaster carrier for flat applications such as ceilings and mittens, the Stucanet® 80 has a solid flat thread for fastening and therefore higher rigidity. Thanks to its higher rigidity, Stucanet® 80 allows working with higher spacing between, for example, wooden rafters or IPE profiles. Both types are 70 cm wide and 240 cm long.

Stucanet® stainless steel

Upon request, Stucanet® is also available in stainless steel.

Expanded metal lath

Expanded metal lath from Ripstaal is a finely woven metal mesh with clay buttons at the intersections of the wires. These ensure optimum anchoring of the plaster and prevent tension in the substrate. The result: a stable, crack-free surface that can withstand temperature changes and slight movements.

Why choose Expanded metal lath?

  • Proven technology, usable on a variety of substrates
  • Flexible and strong: ideal for renovations or restorations
  • Available as roll or folded strip, also in stainless steel version
  • Fast, practical processing without complicated preparation

 

Stone mesh has been used for decades as a reliable plaster carrier on interior walls, exterior facades and ceilings - from historic buildings to modern housing developments.
