James Hardie Start Strip with Ventilation, 25mm x 3m (SKU: 96124)

The James Hardie Start Strip with Ventilation is designed to provide the correct starting angle for the first cladding siding.



This 3 metre strip suits batten with a thickness of 25mm. This easy-to-cut strip is also made from high quality aluminium.



The minimum recommended size batten that should be used to allow a free-flow ventilation gap between the cladding layer and the substrate is 25mm. This is to attain the required gap of 20mm. Additionally it is critical that an air inlet and air outlet gap of at least 10mm is left at the base and at the roofline, above doors and windows.
