Fixed ridge caps

A fixed ridge cap is formed to an agreed angle before delivery. It suits a roof whose geometry has been established accurately. Send the pitch of both slopes and the required dimensions; unequal slopes need particular attention.

Adjustable ridge caps

An adjustable assembly allows its components to suit the roof junction within the fitting's designed range. Confirm the actual product's adjustment limits and joining detail rather than assuming every adjustable cap uses the same hinge or angle range.

Order the complete junction

Include compatible closures, fasteners and sealing materials where the detail requires them. The cap's cover width, fixing and allowance between panel ends must be established for the specific roof.
