Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Tapered edge strips eliminate the abrupt insulation edge that can telegraph through the membrane and trap water at the perimeter. Install them flush with the field insulation and run the taper down toward the edge so the membrane transitions smoothly. Match the strip thickness to the adjacent insulation board and keep bundles dry until installation.

Keep fiberboard dry and store it flat; wet or warped strips can compromise membrane drainage and create a trip hazard on the roof.

Order Blue Ridge FiberBoard 1/2 in. x 6 in. tapered edge strips for a clean insulation transition on your next low-slope roof.
