FAQs

What is the primary function of the 80mm side coverage?

The 80mm side coverage ensures that the ridge overlaps the roof slope sufficiently to prevent wind-driven rain or snow from entering the roof space.

Will the zinc corrode over time?

No, zinc is highly durable. It develops a natural patina—a grey, chalky layer—that actually serves as a protective barrier against further oxidation.

Can I use this on a very steep roof?

Yes, the product is designed for versatility and is compatible with a wide variety of roof pitches.

Does this ridge provide ventilation?

Yes, the design is configured to promote air circulation, helping to move humid air out of the roof void to prevent moisture build-up.

How long is each piece of ridge?

Each unit is 2.4 meters in length.

Is this product suitable for heritage home renovations?

Yes, due to its classic aesthetic and the natural way zinc ages, it is frequently chosen for both modern and traditional renovation projects.

Troubleshooting

Visible water ingress near the ridge

Check that the ridge tiles are properly overlapped and that the fixings are correctly sealed to prevent moisture from bypassing the ridge coverage.

Uneven appearance of the zinc

This is part of the natural patina process. Ensure the ridge is exposed to consistent weather patterns to encourage even development of the protective finish.

Ridge feels loose after installation

Verify that all mechanical fasteners are tightened to the specified torque and that the ridge is correctly seated against the ridge board or tile surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent weatherproofing for roof peaks
  • Promotes vital air circulation to prevent roof space dampness
  • Develops an aesthetically pleasing and protective patina
  • Compatible with a wide range of roof slopes
  • Suitable for both new builds and renovation work

Cons

  • Appearance changes over time due to natural weathering
  • Requires proper installation to ensure weather-tightness
  • Fixed dimensions may not suit every non-standard ridge profile

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by qualified roofing professionals to ensure the ridge is securely fastened and correctly aligned with the roof pitch. The product is 2.4 meters in length, allowing for efficient coverage on standard residential builds. When installing, ensure that the roof tiles or slates are properly prepared to accept the 80mm side flanks. To maintain the material, it is best left to weather naturally. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive tools that could damage the developing patina, which acts as the material's primary long-term defense against corrosion.
