The shell consists of two double layers of 40 x 20 mm softwood laths at 400 mm centres pin-jointed together with more than 1000 bolts. |
The laths occur in bundles or packets with low angle boundaries between the laths. |
Most ceilings are held in position by the adherence of the plaster to wooden laths, which are nailed to joists above. |

A grid of supple oak laths was laid flat, then gradually lowered over 15 weeks to its undulating form. |
