Flexible pointing for ridge caps
Ridge caps sit on a bed of mortar and are sealed with pointing. Traditional sand and cement pointing cracks as the roof moves, which lets water in and loosens the caps. Flexible pointing compounds stay elastic, bond to the bedding and tiles, and resist UV, which is why they are now standard on Melbourne roof repairs and restorations.
Products in this range
- IRC Point Protect Flexi: a flexible waterproofing pointing membrane for ridges and flashings, available in a range of colours and sizes.
- RGL Supa Point: premium flexible pointing made with acrylic technology for adhesion, UV resistance and fast curing.
Repointing basics
- Rake out loose or cracked old pointing with a wire brush.
- Rebed loose ridge caps where needed, using bedding frames, sand and oxide.
- Apply flexible pointing with a gauging trowel and tool it to a neat finish.
- Clean residue off the tiles with a damp sponge before it cures.
Choose a colour close to your tiles, or the restoration colour if you are painting the roof afterwards with roof paint. Pick up from our Doveton and Mulgrave yards.
