Historically galvanised Expanded Metal Lath (EML) was used for supporting external render as well as internal plaster work. More recently the advice seems to have shifted to using stainless for external work.
What are the thoughts on the life expectancy of galvanised EML used under traditional render in non coastal locations?
Anyone bought any stainless recently? If so how much did it cost you, and where from? (some of the prices I have seen online have been plain daft!)
