United Asphalt Wood Fiber Cant Strip, 4 in. to 24 in. Lengths x 1-1/2 in. Height
United Asphalt Wood Fiber Cant Strip creates an angled transition from a wall or parapet to the roof surface so roofing membrane does not bend sharply at the corner. The dimensionally stable, 100% recyclable wood fibered strip cuts easily with a knife. Sold per board in 4, 12, 18 and 24 in. lengths, all 1-1/2 in. high.
Key Features:
- Angled Transition: Provides an angled transition from the wall to the roof surface so roofing material does not bend sharply.
- Dimensionally Stable: Wood fiber composition holds its shape through installation and service.
- Recyclable: Environmentally friendly and 100% recyclable.
- May Aid LEED: May contribute to LEED credits on qualifying projects.
- Easy to Cut: Cuts with a knife for fast fitting at walls, curbs and parapets.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
Boards run 4 to 24 in. long with a 1-1/2 in. height; butt pieces end to end along the wall base. Divide the linear footage of the wall or curb by the board length to estimate how many boards to order.
Fit and Compatibility:
Used beneath built-up, modified bitumen and single-ply membrane terminations at walls and parapets, forming the 45-degree cant where the roof meets a vertical surface. A perlite version of the United Asphalt cant strip is also available for projects specifying that material.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What is included in an order?
A: One board of wood fiber cant strip in the selected length (4, 12, 18 or 24 in.), all 1-1/2 in. high.
Q: How many boards do I need?
A: Measure the linear footage of the wall or curb and divide by the board length; for 12 in. boards, one board per linear foot plus waste for cuts.
Q: How is it installed?
A: Fit the strip tightly into the corner where the roof deck meets the wall and set it in roofing mastic or adhesive before the membrane is applied over the cant.
Q: Can it be cut to length?
A: Yes, the manufacturer notes it cuts easily with a knife.
Q: Is it eco-friendly?
A: The manufacturer describes it as dimensionally stable, environmentally friendly, 100% recyclable and potentially contributing to LEED credits.
Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A proper cant is critical wherever a membrane turns up a wall: without it, the membrane takes a sharp 90-degree bend that leads to fatigue and failures. Set these wood fiber strips in a bed of mastic, butt them tightly, and confirm the cant angle matches the membrane system detail. Choose the perlite version when a specification calls for inorganic cant material.
Use gloves and cut-resistant care when trimming cant strips, and follow roof jobsite fall-protection requirements.
Order United Asphalt Wood Fiber Cant Strip in the length you need for a smooth membrane transition.
