Abstract:
1. An attachment strip and lath assembly for attaching a lath to a wall, comprising: a lath; a mounting plate configured for placement completely flush against said wall; a mounting device for securing said mounting plate to said wall; an attachment plate configured to secure said lath directly to said attachment plate, said attachment plate configured to project away from said wall, said attachment plate substantially perpendicular to said mounting plate, said attachment plate having a vertical edge; and, at least one protruding tooth projecting from said vertical edge of said attachment plate, said at least one protruding tooth configured to secure said lath to said attachment strip, wherein said at least one protruding tooth is configured to project away from said wall, wherein said at least one protruding tooth has a first side having a greater surface area than a second side, said first side and said second side substantially perpendicular to each other, said second side forming a vertical edge of said at least one protruding tooth, said first side co-planar with said attachment plate, said second side parallel with said vertical edge of said attachment plate, wherein said at least one protruding tooth is co-planar with said attachment plate; whereby mounting said lath over said at least one protruding tooth prevents said lath from easily detaching from said attachment strip; whereby mounting said lath to said wall via said attachment plate results in less moisture intrusion into said wall compared to alternatively mounting said lath to said wall directly.
