FAQs

What material are these ridge caps made from?

They are constructed from galvanised steel, providing excellent durability and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Do these ridge caps come with screws or fixings?

No, the ridge caps are supplied without pre-drilled holes and fasteners. You will need to provide your own suitable screws or fixings for installation.

How many ridge caps are in a pack?

Each pack contains five metal roofing ridge caps.

Can these be used on any roof pitch?

Yes, the flexible form allows them to accommodate a range of roof pitches, helping to create a secure seal.

What is the colour of these ridge caps?

The ridge caps are finished in a modern anthracite colour.

Are these compatible with other brands of roofing sheets?

While they are designed for Harbour Housewares metal roofing sheets, they can be adapted for use with other systems, but compatibility and fit are best guaranteed with the matching product.

How do I cut these ridge caps if needed?

They can be cut using appropriate metal cutting tools. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when cutting metal.

Troubleshooting

Ridge caps do not sit flush

Ensure the roof apex is level and free from obstructions. Check for any bending or damage to the ridge cap itself. Minor adjustments to fastener placement may be needed.

Leaking around the ridge cap

Verify that all fasteners are tight and that a continuous seal has been created. Consider using appropriate roofing sealant along the edges if persistent leaks occur.

Difficulty drilling holes

Use a metal drill bit suitable for galvanised steel. Ensure the ridge cap is securely supported while drilling to prevent slippage.

Rust spots appearing

While rare due to the galvanised finish, small rust spots can sometimes occur at cut edges. Clean the area and apply a rust-inhibiting paint or sealant designed for metal roofing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These ridge caps are designed for straightforward installation but require user preparation. As they are supplied without pre-drilled holes, you will need to:

  1. Determine the desired placement along the roof apex.
  2. Mark and drill appropriate holes through the ridge cap and into the underlying roof structure or panels.
  3. Secure the ridge caps using suitable fasteners (not included), ensuring a tight fit to create a weather-resistant seal.
  4. Cutting may be required to achieve precise lengths or angles for a tailored fit.

Compatibility: These ridge caps are designed to work with standard metal roofing systems. For optimal results and a cohesive professional finish, they are recommended for use with Harbour Housewares Metal Roofing Sheets. One pack of 5 ridge caps is designed to fit one pack of 14 metal roofing sheets.

Care: The galvanised steel with a protective coating is designed for low maintenance. To maintain their appearance and protective qualities:

  • Periodically inspect for any debris buildup and clear as necessary.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the protective finish.
  • In coastal areas or environments with high salt content, a periodic rinse with fresh water may help prolong the finish's lifespan.
