aluzinc Ridge cap
Strong Roof Apex Protection with a Clean, Professional Finish.
The Aluzinc Ridge Cap is an essential roofing accessory designed to seal, protect, and finish the highest point of a roof where two roofing slopes meet. Manufactured from high-quality Aluminium–Zinc (Aluzinc) coated steel, it provides superior protection against rain penetration, wind uplift, and long-term weather damage.
At Modern Roofing & More, our Aluzinc ridge caps are engineered to work seamlessly with premium roofing sheets, delivering both functional performance and aesthetic excellence suitable for Ghana’s climate.
Why the Ridge Cap Is Critical in Roofing
1. Prevents Roof Leakage
The ridge is one of the most vulnerable points on any roof. A properly installed Aluzinc ridge cap:
Blocks rainwater from penetrating the roof apex
Protects the underlying truss and ceiling
Reduces long-term maintenance issues
2. Enhances Roof Strength
By covering and securing the meeting point of roofing sheets, the ridge cap improves resistance to:
Strong winds
Uplift forces during storms
Sheet displacement over time
3. Improves Roof Appearance
A ridge cap gives the roof a clean, finished, and professional look, enhancing the overall value and visual appeal of the building.
Installation Considerations
For best performance, ridge caps should be:
Properly aligned and overlapped
Fixed with appropriate roofing screws and sealants
Installed after accurate sheet placement
Correct installation ensures leak-free performance and extended roof life.
What Is an Aluzinc Ridge Cap?
An Aluzinc ridge cap is a formed metal roofing accessory installed along the roof ridge (apex). It prevents water, dust, insects, and debris from entering the roof structure while reinforcing the roof system against wind and weather stress.
Aluzinc Coating Composition
Our ridge caps use the same AZ-standard Aluminium–Zinc alloy coating as premium Aluzinc roofing sheets:
55% Aluminium – Provides excellent corrosion resistance and heat reflectivity
43.4% Zinc – Offers sacrificial protection at cut edges and overlaps
1.6% Silicon – Enhances coating adhesion and durability
This composition ensures long service life, even in humid, coastal, and high-rainfall areas of Ghana.
Key Benefits of Aluzinc Ridge Caps
- Excellent resistance to rust and corrosion
- Long-term durability with minimal maintenance
- Heat-reflective surface reduces thermal stress
- Compatible with modern and industrial roofing profiles
- Maintains structural integrity of the roof ape.
