Tapco DaVinci Select Shake Ridge Tile – Bundle of 10

The Tapco DaVinci Select Shake Ridge Tile is the purpose-designed ridge and hip cap for completing roofs installed with DaVinci Select Shake synthetic cedar-effect roof tiles.

Created to complement the authentic hand-split cedar appearance of the main Select Shake tiles, these ridge caps provide a consistent finish across ridge and hip details while retaining the durability and low-maintenance benefits of the DaVinci composite roofing system.

Manufactured from recyclable virgin polyethylene rather than recycled plastic, DaVinci Select Shake Ridge and Hip Caps are designed for mechanical fixing and provide coverage at approximately 3.3 caps per linear metre.

Each bundle contains 10 ridge tiles, providing approximately 3.03 linear metres of nominal coverage.

Ridge and Hip Tiles for DaVinci Select Shake

DaVinci Select Shake Ridge Tiles are designed as the corresponding finishing component for the Select Shake roofing system.

They can be used to complete appropriate:

• Roof ridges
• Hip details
• Select Shake roofing installations

Using the dedicated ridge and hip components maintains the characteristic cedar shake appearance across the main roof covering and its finishing details.

Authentic Cedar Shake Appearance

DaVinci Select Shake is designed to recreate the craftsmanship and character of natural hand-split cedar shake.

The main roofing tiles are created using moulds taken from authentic wood profiles, producing the irregular texture and appearance associated with genuine cedar roofing.

The corresponding ridge tiles allow this shake-effect appearance to continue across the roof ridge and hip details.

Synthetic Shake Without the Maintenance

Natural cedar provides a distinctive appearance, but timber roofing can be affected by ageing, rot, cracking and pests.

DaVinci Select Shake provides the traditional appearance of cedar shake using an engineered roofing system designed for considerably easier upkeep.

The system is resistant to:

• Fading
• Rotting
• Cracking
• Pests

This makes it a practical option for projects where a traditional cedar appearance is wanted without using natural timber as the roof covering.

3.3 Ridge Caps per Linear Metre

DaVinci Select Shake Ridge Tiles are installed at a coverage rate of approximately:

3.3 caps per linear metre

Each bundle contains:

10 Ridge Tiles

This provides approximately:

3.03 linear metres of nominal ridge or hip coverage per bundle

This figure is calculated from the stated coverage of 3.3 caps per linear metre. Actual quantities should allow for the particular roof layout, cuts, detailing and installation requirements.

How Many DaVinci Select Shake Ridge Tiles Do I Need?

To estimate the number of ridge caps required:

Total Ridge and Hip Length (m) × 3.3 = Number of Ridge Caps Required

For example, a roof with 6 metres of ridge and hip length would require:

6 × 3.3 = 19.8 caps

This should be rounded up to:

20 ridge caps

As the product is supplied in bundles of 10, this would require:

2 bundles

Additional allowance may be appropriate for cuts, waste and the individual roof design.

How Much Does a Bundle of 10 Cover?

At approximately 3.3 caps per linear metre:

10 ÷ 3.3 = approximately 3.03 linear metres

Therefore, one bundle of 10 provides approximately:

3 linear metres of nominal ridge or hip coverage

Actual installed coverage should be determined according to the required installation arrangement.

Mechanically Fixed Ridge and Hip System

DaVinci Select Shake ridge and hip fittings are mechanically fixed.

This provides a purpose-designed method of securing the finishing components as part of the complete Select Shake roofing system.

The relevant DaVinci Select Shake installation guidance should be followed when forming ridge and hip details.

Virgin Polyethylene Construction

DaVinci Select Shake Ridge and Hip Caps are not manufactured from recycled plastic.

They are manufactured from:

Recyclable virgin polyethylene

This should be distinguished from claims that the ridge tiles themselves contain recycled plastic.

Designed to Complement Select Shake Tiles

The ridge tiles are intended to coordinate with the main DaVinci Select Shake roofing tiles, providing a consistent finished appearance across the roof.

The main Select Shake system creates the visual character of different shake widths, helping reproduce the irregular appearance associated with traditional cedar roofing.

Using the corresponding ridge and hip components completes this distinctive roofing style.

The DaVinci Select Shake system is supplied with a:

40-year warranty

Applicable manufacturer warranty conditions and installation requirements should be followed to maintain warranty eligibility.
