Ludowici Interlocking Tile Installation Manual: LudoSlate & LudoShake 50 www.ludowici.com Hip Tiles There are a number of methods to finish the hips of Interlocking tile roof depending on the design aesthetics desired. These methods are flushed mitered, V-Hip tile or one of Ludowici’s other trim groups. Tiles to be installed at hips are field mitered. V-Hip and Other Cap Type Hip Rolls Hips are started with a special V-Hip Starter tile which should cover the field tile approximately 3" on both sides. The regular V-Hip tile is then installed by creating an approximate 2" head lap on the V-Hip starter tile. This 2" head lap is continued up the hip and roofing cement is applied at each hip tile’s overlap. The last fastener on the upslope end of the hip is typically covered with a V-Hip and Ridge Terminal. Some roof termination may require a combination of typical flashing details or a special tile piece. Consult the local Ludowici sales representative for the project’s special roof requirements.
