Clay Ridge Tiles | Roof Tile | Clay Ridge Tile

Clay ridge tiles are an essential component in roofing, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Their primary function is to seal the apex of the roof, ensuring that no water can penetrate the roof space, while also providing a neat, finished appearance to the roofline.

Types of Clay Ridge Tiles

• Multi Ridge Tiles: These tiles, like the Anthracite Band of 4, offer a uniform look with multiple ridges in one band, providing a streamlined installation process and a contemporary finish.
• Baby Ridge Tiles: Smaller in size, such as the Baby Ridge Universal Angle in Slate Grey, these tiles are perfect for lower profile areas or for roofs with a more delicate scale. They can be used on a variety of roof angles, making them highly versatile.
• Interlocking Ridge Tiles: The Sandtoft Clay Rivius Interlocking Slate Roof Tile is an innovative product that interlocks, offering enhanced stability and ease of installation. This design is particularly beneficial in regions with high winds or heavy rainfall.
• Half Round Ridge Tiles: A classic design such as the Sandtoft Clay Half Round Ridge 305mm Tiles, available in various colours, offers a traditional look. They are often chosen for their timeless appeal and compatibility with many roof styles.

• Specialty Ridge Tiles: Some ridge tiles come in unique colour blends or finishes, like the Redland Rosemary Clay Baby Ridge Tile in Smooth Medium Mix Brindle, offering customization to match or contrast with the field tiles on the roof.

   

Practical Uses

• Weatherproofing: All clay ridge tiles are designed to keep out the elements, providing the highest point of the roof with necessary protection against rain, snow, and ice.
• Ventilation: Certain designs allow for air passage, which is critical in maintaining a healthy roof structure by preventing condensation.

• Aesthetics: Clay ridge tiles come in various colours and finishes, allowing for a cohesive look with the rest of the roofing or an attractive contrasting feature.

   

Selection Guide

When selecting the appropriate clay ridge tile, consider the following:

• Roof Design: Ensure the tile complements the style and angle of your roof.
• Colour and Finish: Choose a colour that matches or contrasts with your existing roof tiles.
• Durability Needs: Consider the weather conditions your roof will face and select a tile designed to withstand those elements.

• Installation Requirements: Some tiles may require more complex installation; ensure you or your roofer are prepared for this.
