Lath Nails

Lath nails are a type of nail specifically designed for securing lath, which is a type of building material used in construction. Lath is typically made of wood or metal and is used as a base or support for the application of plaster or stucco on walls and ceilings. The purpose of lath nails is to attach the lath to the underlying structure, such as wooden studs or framing, to create a stable surface for the application of plaster or stucco.

Lath nails are usually shorter and thinner than common framing nails, and they may have a diamond-shaped or flat, wide head to securely hold the lath in place. These nails are often driven into the lath and underlying structure at regular intervals to ensure that the lath remains firmly attached, providing a suitable substrate for the plaster or stucco to adhere to during the construction or renovation process.
