Ridge Cover 7 Metre

The ridge cover is a 7 metre length of protection that sits along the ridge line of a tiled roof, under the ridge capping, to stop water, debris and pests getting into the roof space at the apex. It is made in a long 7 metre length, which covers an extended ridge run with fewer joins and gives a cleaner, more weathertight finish. It suits standard ridge lines on tiled roofs and is a common part of new roof and re-roofing jobs.

Key Features

• 7 metre length for long ridge runs with fewer joins
• Protects the ridge from water ingress, wind uplift and debris

Installation

The ridge cover runs along the apex of the roof before the ridge capping is bedded. Lay it so it covers the cut tile edges at the ridge, keeping the material continuous along the run, then bed the ridge capping over the top with pointing mortar. The long 7 metre length means fewer overlaps and joins, which removes the weak points where water can work its way in.

Applications

• New tiled roof construction
• Re-roofing and ridge restoration work
• Protecting the ridge line from water and pest ingress
• Residential and commercial tiled roofs

What You Need To Complete The Job

Bed the ridge capping over the cover with trade mortar and finish it with roof pointing. Use a pointing trowel to work the mortar into the joints. Browse the Pointing range for the ridge finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ridge cover for?

It protects the ridge line of a tiled roof, where the cut tile edges meet at the apex. It stops water ingress, wind uplift and debris, and it limits birds and insects getting into the roof space.

Why is it a 7 metre length?

The long length covers an extended ridge run with fewer joins. Fewer overlaps means fewer weak points and a faster, cleaner install on the roof.

Does it replace the ridge capping?

No. It goes under the ridge capping. The capping is bedded over the top of the cover with pointing mortar, and the cover does the sealing work underneath.

Does it suit all tile roofs?

It suits standard ridge lines used in tile roofing systems. Check the ridge profile and width against the cover before ordering for a specific tile.
