The best relationship is one where everyone benefits. What Customers Can Gain with Hip and Ridge Caps For example, with GAF hip and ridge caps used as part of a GAF Lifetime Roofing System, customers are eligible for enhanced warranty and wind-protection options, improved curb appeal (thanks to factory color match), and a wider range of finish styles. As an example, GAF Hip and Ridge Cap Shingles come with Dura Grip™ Self-Seal Adhesive that helps seal shingles down tight for a high-quality, wind-resistant installation.īoost roofing reputation: Happy customers mean five-star reviews, word-of-mouth referrals, and fewer callbacks. Factory-applied adhesive reduces wind-related callbacks. Reduce blow-off: Hip and ridge caps are pre-manufactured with properly positioned adhesive to help shingles fight against wind. "Some pre-manufactured hip and ridge caps are even packaged individually in boxes, so that they can be removed from the box and fastened without any tearing or cutting needed," says Jeff Avitabile, a senior product manager for GAF steep slope accessories. Perforations can reduce waste as well as human error and material loss due to cutting. Plus, hip and ridge caps typically have larger exposure than hand-cut 3-tabs, so they not only look more polished, there are also fewer pieces to install. Perforations reduce labor costs by eliminating time-consuming hand cuts that 3-tab shingles require. Save time and labor: Pre-manufactured hip and ridge caps have perforations that roofers can quickly tear and install on the roof. Here are the ways they improve roof installation speed and quality in ways that hand-cut 3-tabs don't. Hip and ridge caps were specially designed for use on a roof's ridges and hips. Hip and Ridge Caps Can Give Roofers Big Benefits
Here's why it's time to make the change from using hand-cut 3-tab shingles to pre-manufactured hip and ridge caps on residential roofs. They're faster to install, save you money in labor costs, and result in a better looking, higher-quality, more wind-resistant product. Hip and ridge cap shingles are the new industry gold standard.
At one time, 3-tab shingles were the market leader, so hand-cutting and installing 3-tabs on ridges and hips was standard practice. Are you hand-cutting 3-tab shingles instead of using perforated hip and ridge cap shingles? You're not alone.
