Angled Roof Ridge

How do I know which Defender® Ridge Spike to use?

The roof ridge is the highest horizontal line that intersects two angled roof sections. The tiles that cap these intersections come in a variety of designs. The most common in the UK are the Angled Ridge which is shaped like the point of a triangle and the Half-round Ridge tile which is a curved half-moon shape. The angled ridge tile finishes at a point. The Defender® Angled Roof Ridge Spike has a base which is an inverted ‘V’ which sits over the top of the tile. This base is wide enough to accommodate the various degrees of the different types of angled ridge tile. Defender® Silicone is applied to both sides of the angled base and pressed onto the top of the angled tile. The shape of the base provides not only a good fit but also stability to the ridge spike while the silicone is curing. When it comes to finishing the end of the ridge, simply use a hacksaw to cut the last piece to size.
