Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Z-bar belongs anywhere a horizontal joint must shed water, most commonly over the top of lap siding or at roof-to-wall transitions. Always let the lower leg lap over the material below and the upper leg tuck behind the weather-resistive barrier above. The 2 in. x 1 in. x 1/2 in. formation is a common fit for standard siding reveals.
Galvanized flashing edges are sharp; wear gloves and eye protection when cutting and handling.
Order the ACM 26-gauge galvanized Z-bar for reliable water shedding at your horizontal siding and trim joints.
