Hy-Rib® is a deep ribbed mesh with tangs for use as a carrier for plaster, render and fire protection materials.

Hy-Rib® can be used economically for backgrounds where longspans between supports or additional strength for sprayed finishes are required. It can be pre-curved for circular applications. Hy-Rib® is available in different gauges and materials identified by a distinctive coloured stripe (see table). Hy-Rib® can also be used as permanent formwork for concrete - Visit www.expamet.co.uk for more information.
