Strip

Ensure the beauty and longevity of your cladding.

Improve air circulation and prevent moisture damage with ProTect Furring Strips by Quarrix. Constructed of premium HDPE plastic with built-in air channels and insect barriers, they’re incredibly durable and pest resistant — and they won’t warp or split, making them superior to traditional wood products. 

Compatible with a wide range of siding materials — including fiber cement, wood, stone, lap siding, shakes, board & batten, and open-joint systems — they’re also remarkably versatile and easy to install. They can be used as a starter strip behind the first course of cladding, saving time and money. Ensure the beauty and longevity of your cladding with ProTect Furring Strips. 

Note: Approximately one linear foot of ProTect Furring Strips can be estimated for every one square foot of wall covering.
