Top Ventilation Strip - 3m Length (Compatible with James Hardie)

The Top Ventilation Strip – 3000mm is a high-quality aluminium profile designed to maintain proper airflow behind fibre cement plank cladding installations. Suitable for use with Hardie Plank and similar fibre cement boards, this ventilation strip helps maintain the required ventilation gap between the cladding and substrate, reducing the risk of moisture build-up and supporting long-term system performance.

Available in three thickness options to suit 38mm, and 50mm battens, the profile provides a neat and reliable finishing detail while supporting best-practice cladding installation standards. The durable aluminium construction makes it easy to cut and install on site.
