Easy-Fur™ is a rollable furring strip that simplifies and reduces installation time while ensuring a consistent cavity space for drainage and ventilation behind multiple types of cladding. Designed to replace wood furring strips, this product prevents moisture buildup, mold growth, and material decay. By providing uniform separation between cladding and sheathing, which allows air and moisture to circulate freely, Easy-Fur™ reduces the risk of water damage and enhances the wall’s thermal performance. Its durable, nylon construction withstands environmental stresses, maintaining its shape and function over time. Additionally, Easy-Fur™ is compatible with various siding materials, such as Hardie Board, offering flexibility in design and application.
Builders no longer need to rely on outdated materials like wood or metal for furring now that Easy-Fur™ offers a better solution. Unlike traditional wood, which can absorb moisture, warp, rot, and attract insects, Easy-Fur™ is lightweight, durable, and easy to install. It promotes air and moisture movement behind cladding, delivering superior long-term performance with less hassle—making it the smarter, healthier choice for modern construction.

Answer a few questions about your project and a Easy-Fur representative will follow up with you to discuss details.
Yes—proper drainage and ventilation behind siding are essential to prevent moisture buildup, mold, mildew, and material decay. Easy-Fur™ simplifies this process by ensuring a consistent cavity space that allows air circulation and moisture to escape, boosting the wall’s overall thermal performance and extending its lifespan.
Easy-Fur™ is designed to outperform wood in every way. Unlike wood, which can absorb moisture, warp, split, and rot over time, Easy-Fur™ is made from a durable polymer that resists these issues. It’s lightweight, flexible, and fast to install—simply roll it out and trim to size with scissors. Plus, it can be oriented either vertically or horizontally to fit your design needs. No more heavy lifting, warping pieces, or struggling to keep things level.
Easy-Fur™ is engineered to provide long-lasting support and maintain its shape under cladding pressure. For exact PSI ratings and bearing surface details, contact our technical team—we’ll ensure your project’s performance requirements are fully met.
Contractors will appreciate the faster, easier installation and consistent results—no warped wood, messy job sites, or time-consuming counter battening. For homeowners, this means a siding system that lasts longer, dries properly, and reduces the risk of future moisture-related repairs—all for a competitive overall project cost.
