Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Order hip and ridge tile in the same color as your Verea barrel field tile for a uniform finished roof, and confirm the 17 in. piece suits your ridge length before finalizing quantities. Clay's thermal performance makes it a strong choice in warm climates where a cooler roof system is desired. Install per manufacturer fastening and mortar specifications to protect the high transverse breaking strength the tile offers.

Roof tile installation involves working at height on fragile surfaces; use fall protection, roof jacks and appropriate handling techniques for heavy clay tiles.
