This GRC Capped Angle Ridge is made from cement-based materials reinforced with glass fibres. It contains Portland cement, sand, glass fibres and pigment. Its surface is coated with water-based paint to improve its waterproofing qualities. As a result of this manufacturing process, it provides a robust, durable and uniform product.
For capped angle ridge installation, start by locating the top course of special short slates, ensuring that the required ridge cover is given. If using a socketed ridge, locate and position overlapping sockets away from prevailing weather conditions. Next, edge bed all ridges in the mortar and solid bed all the ridge tile joints. Once done, finish bedding and pointing neatly. The mortar should comprise three parts sharp sand and one part Portland cement. A proprietary bonding agent mixed with cement and applied to the underside of the ridge will enhance the bond between the ridge and the mortar.
Additional mechanical fixings should be used as required in accordance with BS 5534 Part 1. 2003 and the current codes of practice. For a solid bed end of the end ridge tiles, fix hips where required. A suitable hip iron into the base of the hip rafter is recommended. Cut the bottom hip tile to align with the eaves, then finish bedding and pointing neatly.

Question:
450 is the length of a capped roof tile. Is that the working length or the overall length of the tile. By "working length" I mean along the length of the ridge to be tiled, each capped roof tile averages out at 450mm which includes the overlap between each tile. I hope all this makes sense and I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks, Nick, Llangarron, Herefordshire
Answer:
The 450mm length that is specified for the GRC 450mm Capped Angle Ridge 125 Degree - Warm Grey is the overall length of the ridge tile. This measurement includes any overlap between each tile. It's important to note that the actual 'working length' - the length along the ridge to be tiled - may be less than this due to the overlap between each tile. The specifics of the 'working length' may vary depending on the degree of overlap, which can differ based on your specific roof configuration. For precise measurements, I would suggest consulting with a roofing professional or our technical team who may be able to provide more detailed advice based on your unique roofing needs.
Question:
Can this ridge tile be fitted to provide ridge ventilation to a slate roof?
Answer:
The GRC 450mm Capped Angle Ridge 115 Degree - Warm Grey is not designed to provide ventilation. It's a capped angle ridge, rather than a vented ridge unit. To achieve ventilation at the ridge level on a slate roof, you might consider options like a dry ridge system with a vent roll underneath, a mechanically fixed ventilated ridge system kit, or special vented ridge units.
