To limit the probability of the inadequate embedment of lath in stucco, which could lead to the deformation or cracking of stucco due to excessive shrinkage.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • precipitation or meltwater ingress, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to the structural failure of exterior walls or elements protected by exterior walls, or
  • stucco detaching and falling from the building.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
