Designed Specifically for Roof Ridges
These shingles differ from the standard shingles fitted across the main roof slope.
Roofing ridge shingles are designed to cover the apex where two sides of a pitched roof meet.
This helps:
- Protect the roof apex
- Cover the junction between roof slopes
- Create a continuous finished ridge
- Reduce exposed vulnerable areas
- Improve the overall appearance of the roof
- Complement the main roofing shingles
Using a purpose-designed ridge product creates a much cleaner result than attempting to improvise a ridge using unsuitable roofing materials.
Reinforced Fibreglass Construction
The shingles incorporate a reinforced fibreglass base, giving them strength while allowing the material to remain relatively lightweight and manageable.
Fibreglass roofing shingles offer several useful characteristics:
- Good dimensional stability
- Lightweight construction
- Straightforward handling
- Good strength-to-weight ratio
- Suitable flexibility for forming ridge details
- Durable exterior roofing performance
This makes them particularly suitable for garden buildings and lightweight timber roof structures.
Attractive Green Finish
The green mineral finish creates a traditional appearance that works especially well with timber garden buildings and natural surroundings.
Green roofing is popular for:
- Garden sheds
- Summerhouses
- Log cabins
- Garden offices
- Workshops
- Playhouses
- Timber garages
- Pergolas
- Outbuildings
Using matching green ridge shingles helps create a consistent colour from the roof slopes through to the apex.
Ideal with Green Roofing Shingles
These ridge pieces are the natural finishing product for roofs covered with matching green reinforced fibreglass shingles.
A complete shingle roof will typically require appropriate products for:
- Roof underlay
- Main roofing shingles
- Ridge shingles
- Galvanised clout nails
- Suitable roofing adhesive where required
- Eaves and verge detailing
Using components designed to work together helps produce a cleaner and more professional installation.
20 Ridge Pieces Per Pack
Each pack contains 20 individual ridge pieces.
The individual format makes the shingles easy to distribute and position along the roof apex.
Each piece is approximately 100cm long, providing a practical size for handling and installation.
The Felt Products specification lists the pack as providing 5m² coverage.
When calculating the quantity required, always allow for the specified overlap arrangement and the actual length of the roof ridge.
100cm Length Per Piece
Each ridge shingle is approximately 1 metre long.
This provides a useful balance between:
- Efficient ridge coverage
- Easy handling
- Straightforward alignment
- Manageable overlapping
- Convenient cutting where required
Multiple pieces are installed consecutively along the ridge to create a continuous weather-resistant cap.
Three-Part Overlap Ridge Design
The product specification states an actual coverage depth of approximately 60cm per shingle when used as a three-part overlap ridge piece.
Overlapping is important because it allows successive shingles to cover previous fixing and joint areas.
This helps create a layered roof finish designed to encourage rainwater to flow over the shingles rather than beneath them.
Peel-Off Adhesive Underside
Each ridge shingle incorporates a peel-off self-adhesive backing.
During installation, the protective backing is removed to expose the adhesive section.
This helps:
- Hold the ridge shingle in position
- Assist alignment
- Bond overlapping areas
- Create a neater installation
- Reduce unwanted movement during fixing
The peel-off adhesive backing makes installation more convenient, particularly on smaller garden building roofs.
Self-Adhesive Does Not Mean Nail-Free
An important point for customers is that the peel-off backing does not mean these shingles should simply be stuck down without mechanical fixing.
The current fixing specification requires:
Peel-off self-adhesive backing + galvanised extra-large-head clout nails
Using both the adhesive and appropriate nails provides a more secure installation.
This is particularly important at the ridge, which can be exposed to significant wind forces.
Galvanised Extra-Large-Head Clout Nails
The ridge shingles should be mechanically fixed using suitable galvanised ELH — Extra Large Head — clout nails.
The large nail head helps spread the fixing force across the shingle rather than concentrating pressure on a small area.
Benefits include:
- Secure mechanical fixing
- Improved resistance to wind movement
- Reduced risk of the nail pulling through the shingle
- Galvanised corrosion protection
- Suitable fixing for exterior roofing applications
Fixings should be positioned so that subsequent overlapping sections cover them wherever required by the installation method.
Helps Protect the Roof Apex
The ridge is highly exposed because it sits at the highest point of the building.
A properly completed ridge helps protect against:
- Wind-driven rain
- Water penetration
- Exposed roof joints
- Wind getting beneath roofing materials
- Premature deterioration around the apex
Correct ridge detailing is therefore essential for the overall performance of a pitched shingle roof.
Creates a Professional Finished Appearance
Without a suitable ridge covering, a shingle roof can look unfinished even when the main roof slopes have been installed neatly.
Green ridge shingles create a defined and consistent apex that improves the visual appearance of the entire building.
This is especially important for attractive garden structures such as:
- Summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Log cabins
- Gazebos
- Pergolas
- Decorative sheds
Ideal for Shed Roofs
These green ridge shingles are an excellent finishing solution for appropriate pitched shed roofs.
They are particularly useful when fitting matching green shingles to:
- Apex sheds
- Large garden sheds
- Tool sheds
- Storage sheds
- Timber workshops
The ridge pieces create a neat central cap where the two roof slopes meet.
Ideal for Summerhouses
Summerhouses are often designed to be visually attractive as well as functional.
Matching green ridge shingles help provide a professional finish while covering the vulnerable apex junction.
The green mineral finish also complements natural timber exceptionally well.
Excellent for Garden Offices
Garden offices are increasingly built with decorative pitched roofing systems rather than basic roll felt.
Fibreglass shingles provide an attractive tiled effect, while the matching ridge shingles complete the roof at the apex.
They are particularly suitable for:
- Garden offices
- Garden studios
- Hobby rooms
- Home workspaces
- Timber garden rooms
Suitable for Log Cabins
Green shingles work particularly well with natural timber log cabins.
The darker green mineral surface contrasts attractively with wooden walls while blending naturally into garden surroundings.
Using matching ridge shingles avoids introducing a different colour or roofing material at the apex.
Suitable for Pergolas & Garden Structures
These ridge shingles can also be used on suitable pitched roofing systems installed on:
- Pergolas
- Gazebos
- Covered seating areas
- Garden shelters
- Decorative timber structures
Always ensure the roof construction and underlay are suitable for shingle installation.
Use Over a Suitable Roofing Underlay
Roofing shingles form the outer decorative and weather-facing layer of the roof and should be installed over an appropriate roofing underlay system where specified.
A suitable underlay provides additional protection beneath the shingles and helps form the complete roofing system.
The roof deck should be:
- Structurally sound
- Smooth
- Dry
- Clean
- Suitable for receiving shingles
- Properly prepared before installation
Installation Guidance
For the best results:
- Complete the main roof shingle installation first
- Make sure both roof slopes meet neatly at the apex
- Ensure the ridge area is clean and correctly prepared
- Position the first ridge section carefully
- Remove the protective backing to expose the adhesive
- Form the ridge piece correctly across the roof apex
- Secure using galvanised ELH clout nails
- Install subsequent ridge pieces with the specified overlap
- Arrange overlaps so they shed water correctly
- Keep the ridge straight and evenly aligned
- Make sure exposed fixings are minimised or appropriately covered
- Follow the applicable roofing shingle installation guidance
Work with the Weather Direction
Where overlapping ridge pieces are installed, careful consideration should be given to the direction of prevailing weather.
The shingles should be arranged so the exposed edge does not unnecessarily face into the prevailing wind.
This helps reduce the possibility of wind-driven rain being forced beneath overlapping sections.
Do Not Rely Solely on the Adhesive
Although the peel-off backing provides convenient self-adhesion, the mechanical clout-nail fixing remains an important part of the installation.
This is especially important because the ridge is exposed to higher wind pressures than many other parts of the roof.
Using both fixing methods provides:
- Initial adhesive positioning
- Mechanical security
- Better wind resistance
- More dependable long-term installation
Suitable for New Roofs
Green Ridge Fibreglass Shingles are ideal when installing a complete new shingle roof.
Typical applications include:
- New sheds
- New summerhouses
- Garden offices
- Log cabins
- Timber garages
- Workshops
- Pergolas
- Gazebos
Ordering the ridge shingles at the same time as the main roof shingles helps ensure the roof can be completed without delays.
Suitable for Replacement & Refurbishment
They can also be used for suitable repair and refurbishment projects where existing ridge shingles have become:
- Damaged
- Torn
- Loose
- Weathered
- Missing
- Lifted by wind
Before replacing ridge shingles, inspect the underlying roof construction and main shingle installation for damage.
Fibreglass Shingles vs Traditional Roof Tiles
Fibreglass shingles provide a lightweight alternative to traditional tiles or slates on suitable garden structures.
Fibreglass Roofing Shingles
- Lightweight
- Easy to handle
- Decorative
- Suitable for timber garden buildings
- Lower structural load
- Straightforward cutting and fixing
Traditional Tiles or Slates
- Significantly heavier
- Often require more substantial structural support
- More involved installation
- May be unnecessary for lightweight garden structures
This makes reinforced fibreglass shingles particularly attractive for sheds, summerhouses and log cabins.
10-Year Guarantee
These green ridge roofing shingles are supplied with a 10-year guarantee, providing reassurance for customers choosing a decorative fibreglass shingle roofing system.
Correct preparation, installation, fixing and use of suitable underlay remain important for achieving dependable long-term performance.
