Starter Strip Shingle
The starter strip shingle is an essential element of roofing systems, providing a secure and reliable base for the installation of the main roof shingles. The specially designed roof shingle starter strip is made of asphalt and features a self-adhesive backing or a sealant applied to one side. The starter strip shingle is installed along the eaves of the roof before the main shingles are placed, creating a waterproof barrier and preventing water infiltration at the roof's vulnerable edges. By securing the first row of shingles, the asphalt starter strip helps to prevent them from being lifted or blown off during strong winds. Additionally, the starter strip shingle ensures proper alignment of the main shingles, creating a neat and uniform appearance across the roof.
Furthermore, the starter strip shingle contributes to the overall longevity and performance of the roof. It provides an extra layer of protection against water penetration, preventing moisture from seeping underneath the shingle and causing damage to the roof structure. The adhesive or sealant on the starter strip shingle helps to create a strong bond with the underlying roof deck, enhancing the roof's resistance to water infiltration and improving its overall weatherproofing capabilities. With the use of weather blocker starter strip shingles, roofing installations can benefit from enhanced wind resistance, improved water management, and a more visually appealing finish.

Importance of Starter Strip Shingles in Roofing Systems
Starter strip shingles play a crucial role in roofing systems, providing several important benefits and ensuring the overall performance and longevity of the roof. Positioned along the eaves of the roof, our roof shingle starter strips function as a strong and stable foundation for the main roof shingles while preventing water infiltration at the edges. This strategic placement ensures that the roof structure is protected from potential water damage, as the starter strip shingles assist in preventing moisture from seeping underneath the shingles.
Our starter strip shingles contribute to the wind resistance of the roof. They are designed to be firmly fastened to the roof deck, thereby minimizing the risk of the first row of shingles being lifted or blown off during strong winds. As a result, the starter strip shingles promote the structural integrity of the roof and prevent the possibility of shingle damage or displacement. Furthermore, by establishing a straight and level starting point for shingle installation, our starter strip shingles ensure that the main roof shingles are accurately aligned and placed, delivering a professional-looking and aesthetically pleasing finished roof.
Enhancing Wind Resistance with Weather Blocker Starter Strip Shingles
Weather blocker starter strip shingles are an effective solution for enhancing the wind resistance of roofing systems. These specially designed asphalt shingle starter strips are installed at the eaves and rakes of the roof, providing an additional layer of protection against strong winds and gusts. By creating a secure and tight seal, eaves starter strips help to prevent wind-driven rain, debris, and other elements from infiltrating the roof and causing damage.
The key feature of weather blocker starter strip shingles is their enhanced adhesive or self-sealing properties. This ensures a strong and durable bond between the shingles and the roof deck, reducing the risk of shingle uplift or detachment during high winds. The secure attachment of the starter strip shingles helps to maintain the overall integrity of the roof, reducing the potential for water leaks and subsequent structural damage.
Furthermore, weather blocker starter strip shingles are designed with precision and attention to detail, ensuring proper alignment and coverage of the roof’s edges. This creates a seamless and aesthetically pleasing finish, enhancing the overall appearance of the roof.
