Tactile Stone Coated Ridge Cap, 0.4mm Steel, Cafe

Tactile Ridge Cap Cafe

The Tactile Stone Coated Ridge Cap serves as the primary weatherproofing component for the apex and hips of a roofing system. Manufactured from high-grade Aluzinc steel, this accessory ensures a secure seal against water ingress while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of stone-coated tile installations. It is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including high UV exposure and heavy rainfall common in tropical climates.

Built for the Job

This capping is essential for finishing the highest points of a roof structure where two slopes meet. It provides the necessary overlap to prevent wind-driven rain from entering the roof space. Contractors utilize this specific profile for both main ridges and hip lines on residential and commercial buildings. The lightweight nature of the steel base reduces the overall structural load compared to traditional clay or concrete alternatives, allowing for more efficient truss designs.

• Sealing the horizontal apex of gabled or hipped roof designs.

• Finishing the inclined hips of complex multi-plane roof structures.

• Providing a color-matched transition between different roof faces.

Product Highlights

Aluzinc Steel Core

The base metal consists of cold-rolled steel coated with an aluminum-zinc alloy to prevent rust and edge corrosion.

Stone Granule Finish

• Natural stone chips embedded in a UV-resistant acrylic resin.
• Dampens noise from rain impact and resists color fading over time.

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• 1 x Tactile Ridge Capping Unit (Cafe)

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Ensure a minimum overlap of 100mm between consecutive units to maintain a watertight seal along the ridge line.

• Fasten the component using color-matched serrated nails or self-tapping screws driven through the side laps into the roof battens.

• When cutting the steel to length at hips, use tin snips or a specialized cutter rather than a high-speed grinder to avoid damaging the protective coating.

• Store the units in a dry, covered area before installation to prevent moisture accumulation between stacked pieces which can lead to surface staining.

• Apply a touch-up kit to any exposed fasteners or minor surface abrasions sustained during the fixing process to ensure long-term durability.
