Ridge tiles

Roof ridge tiles cover and protect the peak of a pitched roof, creating a weatherproof seal that prevents water and wind damage. They come in various styles, including angular and decorative designs, to suit different roof pitches and aesthetic requirements. Half round ridge tiles made from clay are one of the most common traditional styles used in the UK, found on heritage buildings and period properties. Many restoration projects still rely on clay ridge tiles to match existing roofscapes, while modern builds often use concrete alternatives for their uniformity and strength.

Brands like Marley supply both clay and concrete options, ensuring compatibility with a range of roofing materials. When selecting ridge tiles, consider the roofing material and local weather conditions to ensure a durable and secure installation. Proper bedding and pointing, whether using traditional mortar or dry-fix systems, also play a key role in long-term performance.
