A hip end in roofing refers to the inclined external angle formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes. It is typically found at the ends of gable roofs or where two sections of a roof meet at an angle. The hip end plays a crucial role in directing water away from the roof and preventing leaks. To ensure proper water drainage and structural stability, hip ends are often covered with specialized hip caps or hip tiles that are designed to fit over the angled ridge. These caps or tiles are installed with careful attention to sealing and fastening to maintain the roof’s integrity and weather resistance. Additionally, hip ends contribute to the overall aesthetic appeal of the roof, adding architectural interest and defining its silhouette.
