Barrel ridge cap is a typical flashing used in roof finishing. It is installed at the top of the roof, where two roof slopes meet.
The ridge cap belongs to the group of roof ridge flashings. It is also very often called a “ridge tile” by roofers. The main role of these flashings is to protect the contact area of two roof slopes with opposite pitches, at the point where the roof ridge is located and the slopes meet. Ridge caps prevent rainwater from getting under the surface of the slopes, and additionally provide ventilation and significantly improve the aesthetic value of the roof. It is primarily a protective element installed on the highest edge of the roof slope, where two opposite slopes meet.
The barrel ridge cap is one of 10 available models in our offer, functionally and aesthetically matched to all types of roof coverings we provide. It is made of the same materials as the roof tiles offered by our company. A wide range of colors and protective coatings is available. The barrel ridge cap comes in two variants – Large and Small. Both have the same shape and pattern, but differ in individual dimensions, which makes it easier to match them to various roof slopes while maintaining a consistent style and appearance. The Small barrel ridge cap is available here:
