Ventilation flashing, installed under the Ridge. Recommended for standing-seam roof panels and single-module metal roof tiles. Available in polyester coatings and two standard lengths—0.5 mb and 2.0 mb
Ventilation flashings play an extremely important role in ensuring long-lasting and trouble-free roof performance. They are responsible for proper ventilation of the roof deck—that is, the free flow of air beneath the roofing material— allowing the roofing material to naturally expel moisture that accumulates on its inner surface and, as a result of condensation, turns into water and dampness. In the long term, this moisture causes irreversible damage to both the roof framing and the roofing material itself.
The under-ridge strip is a special flashing designed for the assembly of PD-510standing-seam roof panels and single-module metal roof tiles. With these roofing materials, the ridge cap (also known as the “ridge tile”) is assembled on what is called an intermediate ridge flash—specifically, the under-ridge strip. This strip is also commonly referred to as the “ridge tile strip,” derived from the traditional name for this component.
We offer the under-ridge strip in two lengths— 500 mm, which is ideal for STAND-UP SEAM ROOF PANELS, and 2000 mm —recommended for assembly of sloped ridges with PD510 interlocking panels, as well as for assembly of KARO panels and single-module panel roof tiles.
We offer three types of under-ridge strips. They all serve the same purpose but are designed for different types of roofing materials. Their purpose is to: 1. They ensure proper ventilation thanks to ventilation openings with an appropriate surface area—the effective surface area of the exhaust ventilation slot should be one-fourth that of the intake slot, measured per side of the roof slope – in accordance with DIN 4108:03, min. 50 cm² per running meter. This solution ensures an adequate pressure differential that forces increased air movement beneath the roof coverings. 2. They ensure a tight seal—acting as a barrier against loose snow and light rain that might blow in under the Ridge flashings (the so-called ridge tile). 3. They serve as a support element for assembling the Ridge flashings—the strip should be attached to the roof coverings using staple-type screws on both sides of the roof slope in a straight line. Use the same screws (staple-type), in a color matching the roof coverings, to install the ridge flashings. It is also recommended to use ridge tape with mesh to ensure the highest level of waterproofing, especially in the case of sloped ridges (so-called “grad” ridges).
Blachy Pruszyński Company offers three types of under-ridge strips: Standard, TP26 SUPER, and flat metal roof tiles. The first is used for PD510 standing seam panels, KARO panels, and single-module flat metal roof tiles. The second is designed for TP26 SUPER trapezoidal sheets—its design allows for assembly without the need to cut the strip at the trapezoidal ridges, and its width matches that of the sheet. The third option is an under-ridge strip for flat metal roof tiles—VERONA, FLAT, FLAT PLUS, and REGLE
