Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Start every Cedar Discovery wall with this aluminum starter strip set level along the chalk line, since a crooked starter shows in every course above it. The mill finish suits applications where the strip is concealed at the base of the wall. Confirm box quantity and linear footage before ordering so the entire perimeter is covered in one pass.
Cut edges of aluminum trim are sharp, so wear gloves and eye protection when handling and cutting starter strip.
