FAQs

What is the main advantage of a dry ridge system over a traditional mortar ridge?

A dry ridge system eliminates the need for mortar, which can crack and degrade over time, leading to maintenance issues and potential water ingress. It offers a more durable, weather-resistant, and often faster installation solution.

Is the E-Ridge system suitable for all types of roof tiles?

The Ridge Unions are designed for compatibility with most standard angled and half-round concrete or clay ridge tiles. Always check specific tile dimensions and profiles for optimal fit.

How long is the E-Ridge Universal Dry Ridge System kit?

This specific kit is 6 meters in length. It includes 13 Ridge Unions, along with associated clips and screws, and 10 Ridge Batten Straps.

What materials are used in the E-Ridge system?

The system is constructed from durable materials including polypropylene and aluminum for the ridge roll, nylon for the unions, and stainless steel for fixings and straps.

Does the system provide ventilation?

Yes, the Ventilated Ridge Roll is designed with a mesh fabric that allows for air circulation, helping to ventilate the roof space and reduce condensation.

Can this system be used for hip roofs as well as ridge roofs?

Yes, the universal design and flexible components make it suitable for both ridge and hip applications.

What is the width of the Ventilated Ridge Roll?

The Ventilated Ridge Roll has a width of 300mm.

Troubleshooting

Ridge Roll not adhering properly

Ensure the roof surface beneath the ridge is clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants before applying the butyl adhesive. Re-press firmly.

Ridge tiles are not securely clipped

Verify that the 'ratchet' clips are fully engaged with the underside of the ridge tile. Ensure the ridge tiles are correctly seated on the union up-stand.

Union is not stable on the ridge batten

Confirm that the ridge batten is securely fixed to the roof structure. Use the provided stainless steel screw to attach the central union clip firmly to the batten.

Water ingress at the ridge

Check that the Ventilated Ridge Roll's skirt is fully sealed against the tiles and that the ridge tiles are correctly positioned and clipped. Ensure there are no gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides a durable, mortar-free ridge finish.
Enhances roof ventilation.
Compatible with a wide range of ridge tile profiles.
Mechanically secures ridge tiles for increased wind resistance.
Made from robust, weather-resistant materials.
Designed for straightforward installation.

Cons

Requires specific roof tile profiles for optimal union compatibility.
Requires mechanical fixing to the ridge batten for full security.
Butyl adhesive may require a clean, dry surface for maximum adhesion.
The 6m kit includes 13 unions, potentially limiting for very short ridge runs without cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the ridge or hip line is clear of debris and dry.
Unroll the Ventilated Ridge Roll and position it centrally over the ridge or hip. The aluminum skirt should lie flat against the tiles on either side.
Peel back the protective film from the butyl adhesive strips on the underside of the skirt and press firmly onto the roof tiles to create a seal.
Position the Ridge Unions along the ridge, spaced appropriately to support the ridge tiles. The central union 'up-stand' should align with the ridge line.
Secure the unions by fastening the central clip to the ridge batten using the provided stainless steel screw and a suitable fixing. Ensure the ridge batten is securely fixed to the truss rafters.
Place the ridge tiles onto the unions, ensuring they interlock correctly with the clips.
Use the 'ratchet' clips to secure the ridge tiles to the union. Push the clips firmly until they engage with the underside of the ridge tile.
For enhanced security, particularly in high-wind areas, ensure the central clip of at least one union per section is screwed directly into the ridge batten.

Compatibility:

The Ridge Unions are designed to be compatible with most standard angled and half-round concrete or clay ridge tiles.
Ensure the roof structure has a suitable ridge batten installed for securing the unions.

Care:

The E-Ridge Universal Dry Ridge System requires minimal maintenance.
Periodically inspect the ridge line for any debris accumulation.
The materials are designed to be weather-resistant and do not require special cleaning or treatment.
