Helps Protect Against Nature's Elements

Starter Strip Plus Shingle helps save time by eliminating the need to cut shingles to create a starter row. Starter Strip Plus Shingle is packaged two pieces per shingle, and perforated down the center for easy separation.

  • Provides a machine-cut straight edge at the eave and along the rake for a clean look
  • Easy for one person to position on the roof
  • For use with any shingle that has an exposure up to 6 inches
  • Continuous sealant provides exceptional bonding strength, ensuring an effective seal between the starter and the first course of shingles
  • Convenient as one bundle provides one square of material (105 linear feet of actual coverage)
