Multi-pitch improved ridge-seal for tiled roofs

A ridge seal molding having a length and width, comprising:

• a back section for nailing to a ridge beam, providing thereby a continuous contact along the length to the ridge beam;
• and
• a front section formed at an angle to the back section and having a shape in the direction of the length to substantially continuously contact adjacent tiles along a front edge;
• characterized in that two or more nail positions are marked in the back section for use with roofs of a specific pitch range.

A ridge seal molding having a length and width, comprising:

• a back section for nailing to a ridge beam, providing thereby a continuous contact along the length to the ridge beam;
• and
• a front section formed at an angle to the back section and having a shape in the direction of the length to substantially continuously contact adjacent tiles along a front edge;
• characterized in that the ridge seal molding is a material formulated for resistance to ultraviolet deterioration.

• and
• a front section formed at an angle to the back section and having a shape in the direction of the length to substantially continuously contact adjacent tiles along a front edge;
• characterized in that a receptacle groove is formed along the front edge and opening downward toward the tile, such that a sealing material may be placed in the groove prior to installing the ridge seal molding to a roof ridge, and in installation the sealant material will seal to both the tiles and to the ridge seal molding.

• and
• a front section formed at an angle to the back section and having a shape in the direction of the length to substantially continuously contact adjacent tiles along a front edge;
• characterized in that the shape of the front section in the direction of the length is a repeating shape of high and low regions to match the shape over adjacent tiles, and wherein panels substantially orthogonal to the direction of the width are formed between adjacent high regions, simulating a concrete surface.
