WESTERN LOCK® STANDING SEAM METAL ROOFING

Floating Vented Ridge Cap - Part #WS-420V

Vented ridge cap allows warm and damp air to leave the attic. This will increase your energy efficiency.

Floating ridge cap means that the standing seam panels aren't pinned in place at the ridge. This allows for expansion and contraction. If you have a floating ridge, you will need a fixed connection at the other end of the standing seam panel. 

Most of the jobs that we supply have a fixed ridge and a floating eave. This detail is not used that often.
