Bedding Frames

Bedding frames are steel supports that hold the bedding mix under hip and ridge tiles so the tiles are laid in a straight, even line. This listing covers the three adjustable models in the range, with sizes from 1.8m to 6.1m, so there is a frame to suit most ridge runs. Each frame is made from painted steel with an angle bracket for fast positioning along the roof.

How To Use Them

Set the bedding frame along the ridge in the position where the tiles will sit, and use the angle bracket to hold it in line. Apply the bedding mortar into the frame, then lay the ridge tiles over it, working along the frame so the line stays straight. When the section is done, move the frame along to the next run.

Applications

• Bedding under ridge capping and hip tiles

What You Need To Complete The Job

Pair the bedding frames with the accessories that finish the ridge. Hold them firm with bedding frame brackets, apply trade mortar, and punch weep holes with a weep holer. Browse the Tile Roofing Tools range for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which size frame do I need?

Choose the frame size that covers the longest ridge run you work on. The 1.8m to 3.3m frame suits short ridges, the 3.2m covers a medium run, and the 3.9m to 6.1m frame handles the longest ridge lines.

What are bedding frames used for?

They hold the bedding mortar in place under hip and ridge tiles, so the tiles are laid in a straight, even line. The frame gives the bedding mix a clean edge and keeps the ridge consistent across the roof.

Are they weather resistant?

Yes. The frames are made from steel with a painted coating that resists corrosion from outdoor exposure. That keeps them working through repeated use on site.

Are they sold individually?

Yes. The frames are sold individually, and the number you need depends on the length and complexity of the ridge. Order one frame to trial the size, or enough to cover the full run.

Can I order for delivery or pickup?
