Starter Strip Shingle

Описание: The starter strip is a critical component of a complete roofing system, providing essential protection and proper installation.

Superior Wind Resistance: The continuous sealant strip creates an effective seal with the first course of main shingles, which is vital for securing the roof's edge against wind uplift and shingle blow-off, especially in high-wind areas (often required for enhanced wind warranties).

Watertight Seal: It covers the joints and cutouts of the first row of visible shingles, acting as a secondary water barrier to prevent leaks and water infiltration at the roof's most vulnerable edges.

Clean Edge: It provides a machine-cut straight edge along the eave and rake, ensuring a professional and uniform finished look that's difficult to achieve with hand-cut shingles.

Why We Love to Use It
Contractors prefer using the dedicated Owens Corning Starter Strip for its efficiency and quality advantages over the old method of cutting up 3-tab shingles.

Saves Time and Labor: It's perforated for easy separation and eliminates the need to cut the tabs or headlap off field shingles, significantly speeding up the installation process and reducing job site waste.

Ensures Quality: The sealant is perfectly positioned by the factory, removing the guesswork and potential errors of hand-cutting, which ensures a stronger, more reliable bond and seals the edge correctly for a high-performance roof.

System Compatibility: As a component of the Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System $\texttrademark$, it's designed to work synergistically with other Owens Corning products to maximize the roof's performance and long-term durability.
