Reliable protection for your roof: The right ridge cover
A professional ridge cover is essential for sealing the apex of your roof against harsh weather conditions. It effectively prevents driving rain, snow, and debris from penetrating the roof structure, which could otherwise lead to severe moisture damage. By installing a high-quality ridge roll, you ensure that the sensitive ridge area remains completely watertight.
At the same time, these covers provide crucial ventilation for the roof space. Proper airflow prevents condensation build-up, protecting the underlying timber and insulation materials from rot and mould.
Our range of ridge covers: Materials, sizes, and colours
In our assortment, you will find a comprehensive selection of ridge covers manufactured by DAPRONA, ensuring excellent durability and performance. Depending on your specific requirements, you can choose between premium copper ridge rolls and highly flexible aluminium variants, including the popular Alu Super Vent series.
To perfectly match your existing roof tiles, the aluminium covers are available in classic colours such as Red (RAL 8004), Anthracite (RAL 7021), Brown (RAL 8017), and Black (RAL 9005). Furthermore, the rolls are supplied in a standard length of 5 metres and come in various widths ranging from 150 mm up to 390 mm, available as single rolls or in practical multi-packs.
Choosing the perfect ridge cover for your application
When selecting a ridge cover, the width of the roll is the most critical factor. It must overlap the top row of roof tiles sufficiently on both sides to guarantee a secure and watertight bond. Aluminium variants offer excellent flexibility and are easy to mould to the contours of the tiles, whereas copper provides exceptional longevity and a distinct aesthetic appeal.
Depending on the chosen material, width, and whether you opt for a single roll or a multi-pack, the prices for our ridge covers range from approximately 15.99 GBP to 174.99 GBP (as of 2026). This allows you to find the ideal solution for both small repairs and extensive roofing projects.
Frequently asked questions about ridge covers
Why is a ridge cover necessary for a pitched roof?
A ridge cover seals the gap at the highest point of a pitched roof, protecting the structure from wind-driven rain and snow while allowing trapped air and moisture to escape from the loft space.
How do I determine the correct width for my ridge roll?
The correct width depends on the profile of your roof tiles and the size of the gap at the ridge; the roll must be wide enough to provide a generous overlap on both sides for a secure adhesive bond.
Can I install a DAPRONA ridge cover in cold weather?
For the butyl adhesive strips to bond correctly, installation should ideally take place in dry conditions and at moderate temperatures, usually above 5 degrees Celsius, to ensure maximum adhesion.
What is the difference between standard aluminium and Alu Super Vent?
The Alu Super Vent variants feature a specialised micro-perforation or breathable fabric centre that maximises airflow while maintaining excellent resistance against water ingress.
How long does a copper ridge roll last?
Copper is exceptionally resistant to weathering and corrosion, meaning a copper ridge roll can easily last for several decades, often outliving the roof tiles themselves.
Summary: Long-lasting security with a premium ridge cover
Investing in a high-quality ridge cover ensures that your roof remains well-ventilated and completely protected against the elements. Choose the right material and width to secure the structural integrity of your building for years to come.
