    Firring Strips

    Firring strips are tapered lengths of timber that are installed when repairing flat rooves. They are fitted to create a gradient, which allows water to drain from the roof. Timber firring are fixed to the roof rafters and then covered in sheet material, such as tongue & groove OSB (oriented strand board).

    At Bendrey Bros, we cut firring strips to order. Roofs come in all shapes and sizes, we'll cut the right size of firrings for your project. Typical lead time is 1-2 days, possibly sooner if required.

    As standard, firring strips are cut from 45mm wide boards, they taper from a thick end (e.g. 70mm) down to nothing (0mm). We recommend that firring strips are produced with a minimum gradient of 1 degree to allow water to drain freely. Most firring sizes will be supplied in two pieces that join in the middle, short firrings may be supplied in one piece, extra-long firrings may be supplied in more than two pieces.

    .
