The 5U Eaves Protection Strip is a durable, bitumen-based support strip designed to ensure that roofing underlay does not drape or sag into the gutter. It provides essential structural support at the eaves, maintaining the correct underlay position for reliable roof performance.

By preventing the underlay from dipping, the 5U strip eliminates the risk of water ponding behind the fascia, which can lead to premature deterioration, blockages and moisture ingress. This also helps reduce the likelihood of roof underlay rot where water would otherwise collect within the guttering area.

Suitable for use on pitched roofs, the strip is supplied in 330mm x 16m rolls, offering excellent coverage and ease of installation. It is a cost-effective way to enhance the life expectancy of the roof edge and minimise future maintenance at eaves level.
