What is Closure Strip?
Roofing Glossary · Installation
Definition
A pre-formed foam, rubber, or metal strip used to fill the open corrugations or ribs of metal roofing panels at eaves, ridges, and end walls to prevent wind-driven rain, insects, and debris from entering the space beneath the panels. Closure strips are critical for achieving the rated weather resistance on exposed-fastener metal roofing systems.
