Bonnet, Aries and Rounded Ridge Trim Group

Bonnet hip rolls are inspired by the cottages and estates of rural England. These pieces nestle into the field of the tiles to give a seamless, more organic finish to the hips. The sprocket hip rolls provide a sharper edge to the hip roll, typically used with formal shingle tiles. Rounded interlocking ridge tiles are the companion ridge typically used with bonnet hips.
