Why is a ridge tile important on a concrete tile roof?
Ridge tiles are the tiles that are placed at the very top of a pitched roof where the two sides of the roof meet. They are typically made of the same material as the other tiles on the roof, which in this case is concrete. Ridge tiles serve several important functions:
Protection: The ridge tiles protect the roof from wind, rain, and other weather elements. They help to prevent water from seeping into the gaps between the tiles and causing damage to the roof structure.
Aesthetics: Ridge tiles provide a finished look to the roof, covering the gap between the two sides of the roof and creating a clean, smooth appearance. They also add an architectural element to the roof, enhancing its overall visual appeal.
Ventilation: Some types of ridge tiles are designed to provide ventilation for the roof space. This helps to prevent moisture buildup in the attic, which can cause damage to the roof structure and create a breeding ground for mold and mildew.
Stability: Ridge tiles are secured to the roof with cement or other adhesives, providing additional stability to the roof structure. This helps to prevent tiles from shifting or becoming dislodged during high winds or other severe weather conditions.
Overall, ridge tiles are an essential component of a concrete tile roof, providing both practical and aesthetic benefits. Proper installation and maintenance of ridge tiles can help to ensure the longevity and durability of the roof.
