Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Tapered edge strip solves the membrane rise at gravel stops, expansion joints and level changes where a hard edge would stress the sheet. Choose the 24 in. board where the transition plane is wide and the 18 in. board for tighter details. Because it is wood fiber, keep it dry before installation and set it in full coverage of adhesive per the membrane manufacturer's detail drawings.
Cut edges and knife work on fiberboard are abrasive and blades are sharp; wear gloves and eye protection when cutting and fitting.
