Improvements in a roof ridge cover formed to give the appearance of multiple shingles. The roof ridge cover is fabricates with bend radius to ensure that the base material is not stretched beyond the yield point of the material where it can rupture or split. The edges wrap around existing roof tiles to cover any damaged tiles and provide sufficient clearance of adjacent or abutting ridge covers. The cover is stone coated to provide similar appearance to the roof surface. The stone coatings provide surface protection, wear resistance and provide a gripping surface for installers or others that may walk on the roof surface. Optional venting material may be used under the cover to allow air to vent from the attic thereby allowing the attic to breath, but the vent must also be sufficiently dense enough to prevent insects and bugs from passing through the vent material.
An improved roof ridge cover. The roof ridge cover is formed to give the visual appearance of multiple shingles. The edges of the roof ridge cover wrap around existing roof shingles. The cover is stone coated to provide similar appearance to the adjacent roof shingle surfaces. Optional venting material may be used under the cover to allow air to vent from the attic thereby allowing the attic to breathe, although the vent material is sufficiently dense to prevent insects and bugs from passing through the vent material.
Improvements a roof tile with an integrated riser is disclosed. The roof tile with integrated riser has the shape and color to provide a similar appearance to the original tiles. The integrated riser provides a support and complete sealing to prevent intrusion from water through the riser. The riser can be formed by insert casting the riser into the roof tile, or can be bonded into a pocket in the roof tile. The composition of the roof tiles can be adjusted to reduce how brittleness of the tile. The roof tile is secured to the roof sheeting and studs. Filler material in the tile composition can also provide additional sealing capability to nails or screws that are used to secure the roof tile. The roof tile is a simpler installation that does not require removal of a large number of tiles from the existing roof.
