Riven or split oak laths are stronger than sawn or softwood but all provide the ideal background for Lime plasters as they can be well wetted which assists the slow drying of the Plaster giving a stronger key.
Riven oak laths are split down the grain and are therefore stronger than sawn laths.
Please note that these product properties are not a replacement for the manufacturer's literature and it is always recommended that Calch Ty-Mawr Lime is consulted before specifying.
