ABSTRACT:
A roof ridge system includes an arrangement for weather-proofing the joints between ridge tiles and roof tiles and for providing ventilation to the roof space defined by such a system. The arrangement comprises between the ridge tiles and roof tiles, a perforated ventilator strip overlying and secured to a filler element profiled to conform with the profile of the roof tiles, the ventilator strip and profiled filler element defining therebetween air flow channels between the underside of the ridge tiles and outside atmosphere. The roof ridge system also includes, for supporting the ridge batten of the roof, a ridge batten with or without a support block adapted for mounting in the ridge bracket whereby the ridge tree batten can be supported at any one of three heights on the ridge. The roof ridge system also includes a ridge joint seal or gasket for sealing the joints of adjacent ridge tiles to prevent ingress of water and/or vermin. Finally, the roof ridge system includes a ventilation flow unit adapted to overlie the ridge tree batten and its securing brackets or brackets and support blocks.
