Where to buy Rendalath?

[skotl]

Hi all

I have a large external garden wall that is pretty knackered and I've been recommended to put rendalath on it and coat it with concrete.

When I google rendalath, I get plenty sites where professionals talk about how good it is but I can't find a UK site that will supply it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Scott

Expamet sell a product called 'riblath' but this is usually associated with insulated render finishes and is a high end product.

Expanded metal lath (EML) is widely sold at builders merchants and may be more suitable.

However, my experience of render and shot masonry is that the render will often fail later on.

Thanks noseall - I'll look for EML instead, then.

Thing is, the wall itself is failing and a builder friend recommended that we'd get a few more years out of it if we lath'd and rendered it.
