TapcoSlate Classic Victorian Conservatory 135 Degree Hip End Cap
The TapcoSlate Classic Victorian Conservatory 135 Degree Hip End Cap is designed to provide a neat, professional finish to the bottom of a hip where it meets the eaves on a Victorian conservatory roof. This dry-fix accessory creates a clean transition at the end of the hip while complementing the appearance of TapcoSlate Classic roofing.
Manufactured from the same material as TapcoSlate Classic, the hip end cap provides a coordinated finish that blends naturally with the surrounding roof slate. It is available in all seven stocked TapcoSlate Classic colours, making it easy to match the end cap to your chosen roofing finish.
Designed for Victorian Conservatory Roofs
The 135-degree design is specifically intended for Victorian conservatory roof applications, providing a purpose-made finishing detail where the hip meets the eaves. It is suitable for use with TapcoSlate Classic and TapcoSlate Classic Ridge & Hip Caps.
The end cap has some flexibility during fixing, making installation more straightforward while allowing it to follow the roof detail neatly. It is mechanically fixed and features pre-marked nailing guides and spacers to help with positioning during installation.
Lightweight and Easy to Install
TapcoSlate Classic Victorian Conservatory Hip End Caps share the practical properties of the TapcoSlate Classic roofing system. The material is lightweight, with the roofing system weighing as little as 12kg per square metre, helping make handling and installation easier.
If adjustments are required on site, the material can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp utility blade. This provides useful flexibility when working around the details of a conservatory roof.
