Maibec Ventilated Starter Strip

he Maibec Ventilated Starter Strip is designed to optimize ventilation and drainage for horizontal siding installations.

Made from galvanized steel with a perforated pattern open at 50%, this starter strip prevents moisture buildup while blocking rodents and insects from getting behind the siding.

It ensures an even, level starter course, eliminating the need for face nails and simplifying installation. Each strip measures 10 feet in length and is suitable for exterior use, enhancing the durability and lifespan of your siding project.

Locks in the first row of siding around the perimeter of a building make it easier to ensure a level installation.
