Ridge Tiles:
Ridge tiles are special tiles designed to cover the apex or ridge of a roof.
They are typically shaped to match the profile of the primary roof tiles.
Ridge tiles can be made from various materials, such as clay, concrete, metal, or composite materials.
Installation:
Ridge tiles are usually installed along the ridge line of the roof, where two slopes meet.
The installation process involves securing the ridge tiles in place using mortar or other suitable adhesives.
Proper alignment and spacing are crucial for a neat and functional ridge.
Ventilation:
Some ridge tiles are designed to incorporate ventilation features to promote airflow in the roof space.
Ventilated ridge tiles help to reduce condensation and improve overall ventilation within the roof structure.
Fixing Methods:
Ridge tiles can be fixed using various methods, including bedding in mortar, mechanical fixings, or adhesive systems.
Mortar bedding is a traditional method, where the ridge tiles are set in a bed of mortar for stability and weatherproofing.
End and Hip Closures:
Depending on the roof design, end closures and hip closures may be used to finish off the ends of the ridge where it meets the eaves or hips.
These closures help prevent the ingress of water, pests, and debris.
