GAF hip and ridge cap shingles in Charcoal are the finishing course that closes out an asphalt shingle roof. Where field shingles are cut at a hip or along a ridge, the exposed edges and the deck joint underneath need a separate cap shingle installed over them; that is what this bundle supplies.

Ridge cap pieces are heavier and pre-scored so they bend over the peak without cracking the mat, which is why standard three-tab shingles cut down on site are a poor substitute, particularly in cold weather. Each piece carries a factory-applied self-seal adhesive that bonds down once the roof warms, and the granule surfacing is color blended to run with GAF's charcoal field shingles.

Sold by the bundle and rated in linear feet of finished ridge, so quantities are figured by measuring total hip and ridge run rather than by roof squares.

Key Features

• Pre-cut, pre-scored cap pieces bend over hips and ridges without cracking the shingle mat, eliminating field cutting of strip shingles
• Factory-applied self-sealing adhesive strip bonds each piece down after installation to resist wind uplift at the roof's highest-stress line
• Fiberglass-reinforced asphalt construction with ceramic mineral granule surfacing, the same build as the field shingles it caps
• Charcoal color blend intended to match GAF charcoal-family architectural and three-tab shingles
• Covers the exposed cut edges of field shingles and the deck joint at the peak, completing the water-shedding path over the ridge
• Nailed through the underlying course and concealed by the following cap, so no fasteners are left exposed when laid to the marked exposure
• Packaged by the bundle and quantified in linear feet of ridge, so takeoff follows measured hip and ridge run

Applications
