Owens Corning Starter Strip Plus Shingle, 13.25 in x 39.4 in, Asphalt Starter Roll, 1 Square Bundle
This Owens Corning Starter Strip Plus shingle is a machine-cut asphalt starter course that eliminates cutting full shingles at the eave and rake. Each bundle provides one square of material, approximately 105 linear feet of coverage, with 16 shingles (32 perforated pieces). Its continuous sealant bonds the starter to the first course and it works with any shingle with exposure up to 6 inches.
Key Features:
- No cutting needed: Pre-cut starter saves time by eliminating the need to cut shingles to create a starter row.
- Continuous sealant: A continuous sealant strip provides exceptional bonding strength and an effective seal between the starter and the first course.
- Straight edge: Provides a machine-cut straight edge at the eave and along the rake for a clean look.
- One person install: Easy for one person to position on the roof.
- Full square per bundle: One bundle provides one square of material, approximately 105 linear feet of coverage.
- Class A and F ratings: Rated ASTM D3161 Class F for wind resistance and ASTM E108/UL 790 Class A for fire resistance under asphalt shingles.
- Total Protection System: Part of the Owens Corning Total Protection Roofing System (excluding non-Owens Corning products such as flashing, fasteners and wood decking).

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Install the starter with the sealant strip at the eave edge per OC instructions so the first shingle course bonds properly and resists wind uplift at the perimeter. The 105 linear feet per square of starter makes estimating simple: total the eave plus rake length and round up to whole bundles. For complete system performance, pair it with OC underlayment and OC hip and ridge shingles rather than mixing brands.
Install on a safe, dry roof surface using ladder safety and fall protection, and follow the manufacturer's application instructions and local building codes.
