FAQs
Can I use this ridge with non-Storm branded roofing sheets?
The ASB PVC Ridge is specifically engineered for Storm clear PVC and super-weight corrugated sheets. Using it with other brands may result in an improper fit and failed weather sealing.
How do I clean the PVC ridge without scratching it?
Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mixture of warm water and a mild dish detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Does the ridge yellow over time?
While the material is designed for durability, it is recommended to keep it clean of environmental buildup to maintain its clarity.
Is this product flexible?
Yes, the PVC material offers a degree of flexibility to accommodate the angle of most standard roof ridges, but it should not be bent beyond its intended structural limits.
What is the length of this ridge piece?
This specific unit has a width of 762mm.
Troubleshooting
Ridge cap not sitting flush against the roofing sheets
Verify that the underlying corrugated sheets are correctly aligned and that the roof pitch matches the design specifications.
Water leaking through the ridge intersection
Check that the fasteners are properly sealed with the correct washers and that the overlap between the ridge and the sheets is sufficient.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Seamless weather protection for roof apex
- Maintains high light transmission
- Specifically matched to Storm corrugated systems
- Durable PVC construction resists degradation
Cons
- Requires precise installation to ensure a water-tight seal
- Clear material may show debris more easily than opaque versions
- Limited to specific Storm roofing sheet profiles
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, position the ridge cap centrally over the apex where two sides of the roofing sheets meet. Ensure that the ridge overlaps the top edges of the sheets sufficiently to allow for thermal expansion. Use compatible fasteners designed for PVC roofing, taking care not to overtighten, which can cause cracking.
Compatibility: This product is strictly designed for use with the Storm clear PVC and super-weight corrugated sheet ranges.
Care: Maintain the integrity of the ridge by periodically checking for loose fasteners. Clean the ridge with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or harsh chemicals, as these may scratch or cloud the clear PVC material over time.
