Siding Flatboard Starter Strip

Trim Purpose

Specs, MSDS, and LEED Information for Flannery Trims & Products

Flannery’s Starter Strip is a siding trim which was designed to enable the installer to hang the first level of TruGrain made with Resysta’s ½” Siding Flatboard to the wall. Since Trugrain siding is similar to a “tongue and groove” system, it needs something for the first layer to hook to when being hung. The Starter Strip is installed at the base of the wall where the first piece of siding will go on. The following layers of siding then hook to each other in a typical tongue and groove process. Flannery’s Siding Flatboard Starter Strip is an extruded aluminum product so it will maintain a rigid and clean edge for the siding to start from.
