Mid States Asphalt Woodfiber Tapered Edge Insulation Strip, Multiple Sizes
Mid States Asphalt Woodfiber Tapered Edge strips are factory-fabricated from roof insulation board with a slope that runs from zero on one edge up to the listed thickness on the other. The line spans six sizes from 1/2 in. x 6 in. up to 2 in. x 24 in. Each board is the sell unit.
Key Features:
- Factory Fabricated: Cut at the factory from roof insulation board for consistent, accurate tapers.
- Zero-to-Thickness Slope: Each strip slopes from zero on one edge to its listed thickness (1/2 in. to 2 in.) on the opposite edge.
- Smooth Transitions: Designed to create a smooth transition from lower to higher roof elevations.
- Six Size Options: Available in six size/length combinations to match different crickets and transition heights.
- Easy Fabrication: Easy to fabricate on site for installation with most types of roof systems.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
Each board covers its listed linear footage, from 24 LF up to 288 LF depending on size. Choose the strip whose peak thickness matches the insulation elevation you are transitioning to, then order enough linear feet to span the transition length of the job.
Fit and Compatibility:
Fabricated for installation with most types of roof systems per the manufacturer. Pair with matching-thickness flat roof insulation and cover boards; fastening and adhesive requirements depend on the roof system specified.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: How does the taper work?
A: The strip slopes from zero thickness on one edge up to the listed height on the opposite edge, easing the transition between roof elevations.
Q: Can I cut or modify it on site?
A: Yes, the manufacturer notes it is easy to fabricate for installation with most types of roof systems.
Q: Which size do I choose?
A: Match the peak thickness to the insulation elevation you are rising to, and the width to the run length of the transition.
Q: What is it made from?
A: Factory-fabricated roof insulation board (woodfiber).
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Tapered edge strips are the detail-grade answer to abrupt insulation step-offs in low-slope commercial roofs, where they crickets and transitions prevent ponding and membrane stress. Select the strip whose tall edge equals the thickness of the upper insulation layer so the plane flows continuously. Lay them with the zero edge feathered into the lower surface and secure per the roof system spec.
Handle and cut insulation board with gloves and eye protection, and observe roof-edge fall protection requirements during installation.
Choose Mid States Asphalt Woodfiber Tapered Edge strips in the size that matches your roof transition.
