I'm wondering why you don't see more of this. http://levineco.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/28-IMG_0615-768x1024.jpg   John_chan (John_chan) Senior Member Username: John_chan Post Number: 151 Registered: 08-2006 Posted on Friday, August 01, 2014 - 07:45 pm:        John answered the question perfectly. It's a matter of choice.   Old_school (Old_school) Senior Member Username: Old_school Post Number: 1077 Registered: 01-2009 Posted on Friday, August 01, 2014 - 05:49 pm:        What do you want? Where is the house at? If it is somewhere where you have a lot of trees and such around the house, the copper ridge will help to keep down the moss on the roof. If you like the moss however, you will not want to use copper on the ridges. You have to decide. good luck.   Mikisue (Mikisue) New member Username: Mikisue Post Number: 1 Registered: 07-2014 Posted on Thursday, July 31, 2014 - 09:04 pm:        We are having our slate roof replaced. It is very steep, an 1870 tudor. I'm trying to decide if we should do copper ridges (it currently has them) or if we should do slate ridges? Which would you choose and why. We will have copper flashings and gutters.
