TapcoSlate Classic Angled Ridge to Hip Cap

TapcoSlate Classic Angled Ridge to Hip Cap

The TapcoSlate Classic Angled Ridge to Hip Cap is designed to provide a neat, professional finish where the ridge meets the hip on a Tapco Slate roof. Manufactured by Tapco, this hip and ridge joint combines practical performance with a traditional slate appearance, helping create a clean and consistent finish across the roof. Suitable for both steep and shallow roof designs, the cap can be used on roof pitches from 14° to 30°. With its selection of finishes, it is easy to choose an option that complements the colour and style of your Tapco Slate roofing.

Designed for Tapco Slate Roofs

The angled design allows the cap to neatly cover the transition between the ridge and hip, helping create a more finished appearance at this important part of the roof. It is specifically designed for use with Tapco Slate roofing systems, providing a coordinated finish rather than relying on mismatched components. For installation planning, DirectPlastics.com recommends fitting approximately 5.5 ridge units per metre. This provides a useful guide when estimating the number of components required for a roofing project.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:
