Roof Ridge

The roof ridge is the highest horizontal line where two roof planes meet. It is a critical structural and ventilation point in roofing systems. Ridge caps are installed along this area to seal and protect against water infiltration. Proper ridge construction ensures balanced load distribution and effective attic ventilation, especially important in humid coastal environments.
