TapcoSlate Classic Edwardian Conservatory 90 Degree Hip End Cap
The TapcoSlate Classic Edwardian Conservatory 90 Degree Hip End Cap is designed to provide a neat and professional finish at the bottom of the hip where it meets the eaves on an Edwardian conservatory roof. This dry-fix accessory helps complete the roofline while creating a clean transition between the hip and eaves.
Designed for use with TapcoSlate Classic and TapcoSlate Classic Ridge & Hip Caps, the end cap is manufactured from the same material as the TapcoSlate Classic roofing system. This allows it to blend naturally with the surrounding slate for a consistent and attractive finish.
Designed for Edwardian Conservatory Roofs
The 90-degree design is specifically suited to Edwardian conservatory roof configurations. Its dry-fix design provides a practical way to finish the lower end of the hip without relying on traditional mortar detailing.
The hip end cap has a degree of flexibility during fixing, helping it sit neatly against the roof detail. It is mechanically fixed and features pre-marked nailing guides and spacers to make installation simpler and more accurate.
Lightweight and Easy to Work With
The TapcoSlate Classic Edwardian Conservatory Hip End Cap shares the practical characteristics of the TapcoSlate Classic roofing system. With the roofing system weighing as little as 12kg per square metre, the lightweight construction can make handling and installation more convenient.
Where adjustments are required, the material can be easily cut using a fine-toothed saw or sharp utility blade. This makes it easier to achieve a neat fit around the specific details of the conservatory roof.
Available Finishes
The TapcoSlate Classic Edwardian Conservatory 90 Degree Hip End Cap is available in all seven stocked Traditional TapcoSlate colours:
- Stone Black - 801
- Pewter Grey - 804
- Red Rock - 809
- Olive Green - 814
- Plum - 706

The range of colour options makes it easy to match the hip end cap with the corresponding TapcoSlate Classic roofing finish and maintain a coordinated appearance across the roof.
Durable and Tested Construction
The TapcoSlate Classic Edwardian Conservatory Hip End Cap comes with a 40-year warranty and has been fully tested to BBA, UKTA and ETA standards. It also carries UKCA and CE marking, with testing covering areas including fire rating, wind, driven snow and rain, and water absorption.
Rather than being manufactured from recycled plastics, the end cap is made using recyclable virgin limestone and polypropylene. This provides a purpose-designed material for use with the TapcoSlate Classic roofing system.
