Ridge Tiles

Configure Your Ridge Tiles

To order some of my ridge tile strips you will need to configure each strip specification and add the appropriate quantity to your basket. Select the basic strip type (as described above). To add an end or junction, ridge decoration and/or finial, select the type(s) you require and click on the "Change Type" button. Further controls will then appear that will allow you to set the various configurable dimensions. You will also then be able to set the quantity of strips to include in your basket. Each strip will cost £0.95.

To keep the number of configuration option values down, while still covering the wide range of scales, many of the configurable dimensions are specified in scale inches, rather than model mm. A calculator and look-up table to help convert scale inches into model dimensions (or vice versa) is available here (opens in new browser tab/window).

Note: If you want a ridge tile component that is not covered by the standard options below, I will be happy to quote you for a customised component. Please contact me with full details.


If you change the tile type, please click on the "Change Type" button above to display the appropriate configuration controls for the new type. Do this before changing any other values, or those changes may be lost.

The length of strips is limited to 100 mm by the capabilities of my 3D printer.

This is the height (or thickness) of the main roof material. For Triangle and Round tiles this needs to fit under the edge overhang, so should include the height of any ribs or sculpting present in the roof material (e.g. pantiles). For the special hip tiles, this should be the basic material thicknes, excluding such sculpting.

This is the thickness of the tile edges, where visible.

This is the angle of the main roof surfaces from the horizontal. For hipped and pyramid roofs, all surfaces are assumed to be at the same angle.

The finial(s) will be placed at the end(s) of the strip with a Gable end specification, or at the centre of a junction component.
