K-Strips provide the cleanest look available for a cavity closer as well as being the easiest  way to fit the bottom weatherboard. It will save time and money don't settle for less.

It closes the cavity from vermin but still allowing ventilation while also providing support for the bottom weatherboard doing away with the time consuming task of installing a cant strip or wedge's to the weatherboard.

The bottom edge on the K Strip provides a starting point for the bottom weatherboard doing away with the need to use a string line to get the bottom weatherboard straight.

It is the only Cavity closer that can be used to fix the bottom weatherboard to the building. With all these benefits the labour saving is substantial.
