Why Buy Our Riven Chestnut Laths?

For over 10 years now our hand riven laths have been used in lime plastering work up and down the country. From everyday plastering in traditional buildings to the restoration of the grand houses and historic palaces of England, our traditionally made laths are helping to maintain integrity and quality of heritage restoration works.

Why Riven Laths are Ideal for Lime Plaster

The purpose of the riven lath, as opposed to sawn lath, is to provide extra grab for the fibrous lime plaster. The splitting follows the grain down the wood and leaves an uneven reeded surface. This means that the plaster will stick and grip, even on ceilings. The uneven & irregular nature of this tradition building material is the key to its quality and usefulness.

The quality of our laths is unbeatable. The Chestnut coppicers are great crafstmen and great care is taken over every stage of lath production, from the management of the woodland rotation, to selection of the standing timber, the cutting, the storing and not least of all the actual lath splitting which is very highly skilled work in itself. The attention to detail in the production of our hand riven laths is exceptional.

The coppice is a very traditional and highly sustainable form of  woodland management that produces a harvest of Sweet Chestnut round timber that is perfect for the production of incredible durable building materials.
