Ventilated Dry Fix Ridge and Hip Systems
Introducing Redi-Ridge, the new ventilated dry fix ridge and hip system which is compatible with all Red Bank standard
ridge tiles, including capped angle, crested and roll top.
Providing even greater choice to roofing merchants and contractors, Redi-Ridge meets BS 8612 requirements for mechanical
fixing, its resistance to wind-driven rain exceeds the requirements set out for this standard.
New Redi-Ridge is part of the Red Bank range of clayware chimneys, roofing and flue systems that caters for all styles of architectural design.
The Ridge Vent Filler provides ventilation at the foot of capped angle ridge tiles which incorporate two holes to allow mechanical fixing to the ridge batten.
The metal Butterfly Clip enables installation of Crested Ridges, providing secure mechanical fixing and positive ventilation.
The hooded ventilation design of Redi-Ridge provides a clear ventilation path.
Redi-Ridge is a universal, ventilated dry fix ridge and hip system, consisting of mechanical fixings and a grey coloured powder coated aluminium roll face.
Suitable for use with all Red Bank standard ridge tile types, the design of Redi-Ridge provides a clear ventilation path, even with slates, whilst preventing water ingress, and overcomes the durability and weathering issues associated with other fabric based roll ridge systems.
Redi-Ridge eliminates the need for intricate ridge union pieces or unsightly mortar joints between ridge tiles which saves time with installation and gives builders the ability to meet Building Regulations Approved Document C 2004 which stipulates requirements for resistance to moisture penetration, and BS5250:2011+A1:2016 which defines the level of air openness required of the roof covering. Install continuously to provide ventilation area equivalent to 5000mm2/m.
The metal Fixing Plate sits within the apertures of the Roll (see detail above), allowing for mechanical fixing to the ridge batten. An extended drill bit may be required for installation.
The metal Fixing Plate provides mechanical fixing to the ridge batten and a ventilation gap for plain angle, half round, roll top and slotted roll top ridge tiles.
Appropriate fixings are used for the hip as per specific ridge installation (when used on main ridge and hip,
Redi-Ridge negates the requirement of a lead saddle).
