IBR Ridging 2.45 m – Galvanized Steel Roof Ridge Cap
The IBR Ridging 2.45 m, supplied by SA Home Builder Store, is a galvanized steel ridge cap designed to seal and finish the apex of roofs clad with IBR-profile roofing sheets. It provides a strong, weather-resistant cover for ridges and hips, protecting the roof from water ingress, wind uplift and dust entry — essential for durable and long-lasting roof installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
Why IBR Ridging is Important.
IBR Ridging 2.45 m – Galvanized Steel Roof Ridge Cap
When using an IBR roof sheet covering (Inverted Box Rib profile, effective cover width 686 mm), the roof’s ridge and hip lines must be sealed using purpose-made ridging to ensure the roof is watertight and structurally secure. According to standard roofing practice, IBR ridging is manufactured to match the IBR profile — providing proper sealing and aesthetic finish at the roof apex.
Key Features.
IBR Ridging 2.45 m – Galvanized Steel Roof Ridge Cap
- Compatibility: Specifically designed for IBR roof sheeting (Inverted Box Rib), matching its profile and ensuring seamless fit.
- Length: 2.45 m — convenient for a variety of roof sizes, hips and ridges where full-length ridge cap sheets may not be required or where a shorter cap is more practical.
- Material: High-quality galvanized steel — provides corrosion resistance and strength to withstand rain, wind and general exposure. Standard practice for galvanized IBR roofing and ridging. {index=4}
- Weatherproofing & Sealing: Properly installed ridging covers roof apex, reducing risk of leaks, dust/wind ingress, and extending roof lifespan.
- Easy to Install: Designed for use with IBR roofing systems, ridging can be fixed using standard roofing screws or Top-Speed/Tax screws into purlins or rafters.
