Jerry,

I called and emailed the Tile Roof Institute and asked about the rake tiles used as ridge and hip tiles and apparently there is a universal tile that can be used on the rakes and the ridges.

Here is his reply. just thought I would pass the info along for everyone. Thank you very much for everyone who replied.


Matt,

What you are seeing is what we call in the industry as a Universal Ridge and rake. These products can be used for both applications. Since they have the nail holes for applications to either, they will be visible in the hip or ridge applications.

This is allowed by codes and will not affect the performance of the trim tiles.

Sincerely

Rick Olson

Technical Director
