DELTA®-QUICK STRIP

DELTA®-DRY Ventilated Rainscreen DELTA®-QUICK STRIP is specially designed to be an effective and economical improvement on traditional treated wood furring often used under exterior claddings. The product is easy to apply, provides excellent cavity drainage and ventilation, and does not suspend water or impede its flow.

Properties

DELTA®-QUICK STRIP is manufactured to provide the same necessary stand off as wood furring. It does not rot, warp, absorb or retain moisture, or impede the drainage of water. DELTA®-QUICK STRIP enhances air flow and may be used under many different cladding types.

Material

DELTA®-QUICK STRIP is made from very durable HDPE. Its special dual-chamber 3 dimensional design provides a cost effective improvement on traditional treated wood furring. Unlike wood furring, DELTA®-QUICK STRIP does not retain moisture and actually enhances air flow.

Application

DELTA®-QUICK STRIP is light weight and easy to handle. It cuts easily with a standard utility knife and attaches with standard fasteners and tools. DELTA®-QUICK STRIP comes in rolls 4” x 50’ and 5” x 50’ for rapid and efficient installation.
