OldieNewbie Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Hi all, On an old latted ceiling, what would be the distance between the timber lathes? Is the distance the same as what the thickness would be? So if the timbers are 5mm, are they installed 5mm apart? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just guessing, but perhaps the maximum size of aggregate in the plaster? A 3mm gap won't let 4mm particles through, but a 6mm gap will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
