Sturdi-Spacer installs in continuous rows, 2-feet on-center up the roof, just like wood batten strips. The difference, though, is the airflow – Sturdi-Spacer allows over 3 square inches of Net Free Vent Area to create a breathable batten system between the two roofs, allowing trapped moisture to drain away and fresh air to pass through. Create a minimum 1/8” air gap at the bottom of the roof behind the drip edge, and Sturdi-Spacer will provide an extra boost of intake ventilation from the eave to the ridge, enhancing the performance of ridge/exhaust ventilation at the top of the newly-installed metal roof.
Sturdi-Spacer (product code: SP-1) is made from 5/16” (8mm) thick single-ply Polypropylene plastic and comes in strips that are 2-inches wide by 4-feet long. They are power-nailable and power-screwable, and will not compress like other commercial spacer products on the market. Metal panels or hidden clip systems can be applied directly to the Sturdi-Spacer for easy installation.
