Furring Strips Installation Has Never Been Easier

By Yvette Cruz. 

Quarrix offers an easy guide on proper installation of furring strips. 

Residing a home is not always an easy task. Thankfully Quarrix Building Products makes some of the more challenging tasks like installing furring strips, simple to understand.  

There are many important reasons to use furring strips, one of them being to create a level surface to install siding or other exterior wall materials. More importantly, furring strips allow for gaps between the siding and weather-resistant barrier (WRB) acting like a drain. When there’s moisture in the air, instead of locking onto the paneling, it will drain and dry off without soaking the home.   

Quarrix understands that using furring strips is critical to siding’s performance, so they make sure installers have the information they need to easily install it. In an easy-to-follow video, they review the proper way to wrap the project with the WRB, including not wrapping the bottom of the home. The video reminds installers that the WRB should be, “at least ¾ inches below the bottom edge of the foaming.” 

If the paneling will be placed horizontally or vertically, they have the hindsight to include that information, as well as minor details such as placing furring strips around windows and doors. Quarrix’s installation video makes it easy to follow!

Following this step-by-step procedure will ensure consistency and excellent work every time.
