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:
- Determine the desired placement along the roof apex.
- Mark and drill appropriate holes through the ridge cap and into the underlying roof structure or panels.
- Secure the ridge caps using suitable fasteners (not included), ensuring a tight fit to create a weather-resistant seal.
- 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.
