Ridge Cresting by Solar Innovations®
Decorative Accessory Feature Project
Ridge cresting by Solar Innovations® is designed to adorn the highest point of a roof. The gilded age in America brought the popularity of ridge cresting to states. The mansions of the "robber barons" were fitted with every decorative element imaginable. Ridge lines of these homes were fitted with ridge cresting which assisted in displaying the grandeur of the homes. The industrial revolution helped reduce the price of ridge cresting and the ornamentation began appearing on middle class homes and glass rooms.
Solar Innovations® ridge cresting is all constructed out of cast aluminum. The cresting can be created to virtually any desired length. If your project requires only two feet or 240' feet, Solar Innovations® can supply the required amount. Various designs are availble, all created with historic looks. Old English greenhouses and historic homes were studied for the creation of the best ridge crest design.
All Solar Innovations ridge cresting can be painted in one of our five standard colors and any custom color which your job may require; mill (unfinished) aluminum is also available. If you are looking for a design other than what is offered, Solar Innovations® can work with you to create a custom design specifically for your project.
