Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION OF RIDGE CAP
RIDGE CAP WILL COME IN 10’ LENGTHS. YOU WILL OVERLAP PIECES 6” UNTIL YOU GET TO THE OTHER END
OF THE BUILDING WHERE YOU WILL TRIM THE LAST PIECE TO FIT OR EXTEND OVERLAP. THE RIDGE CAP
SHOULD OVERHANG THE GABLE TRIM 1/2” AT BOTH ENDS OF THE BUILDING.
Place a piece of Ridge Cap on the peak of the building. Center it and make a mark at the lower edges at the end of the
building. Do the same thing at the opposite end of the building and snap a chalk line between the marks. This will make
the Ridge Cap easier to line up and provide a measuring point for locating Outside Foam Closure Strips.
Now, press Outside Closure strips to the roof panels all the way down the building on both sides of the roof. The edge of
the Closure should be 1/4” up from the chalk line.
Install the first piece of Ridge Cap on the peak at the back of the building. Let the Ridge Cap overhang the Gable Trim by
1/2”. Fasten with 3/4” Painted, Stitching Screws through the edge flange and into the top of every major rib. Lap the next
piece of Ridge Cap 6” over the first using two beads of silicone sealant in the lap joint. The last piece should overhang
the Gable Trim at the other end of the building 1/2”. You can trim the last piece of trim to create a 6” overlap or before
you install the all of the screws in the second piece, lap the third full piece over the second allowing 1/2” to extend over
the end of the roof at the gable end.

INSTALL INSIDE CLOSURE STRIPS AT EAVE
On the inside of the building, install Inside Foam Closure Strips
between the eave trim flange and the roof panels. Peal the strips off
the backing paper, pull down the eave trim flange and work the closure
strips between the flange and the roof panels. The ends of the strips
will interlock at a major rib. Start in one corner and work to the other.
