Single Ridge Ridge Cap vs Shadow Ridge

Hello,
What is the difference between Single Ridge Ridge Cap vs Shadow Ridge. Is it the shape, or density?

Thanks

Shadow ridge is a brand name. Their ridge cap has got a shadow line that matches the same shadow that is on the rest of their shingles.

ah ok thanks. So they are not necessarily better quality, it's just the aesthetics?

Thanks

Correct. Most hip and ridge will not have the colored shadow line, they will look like this.

Shingles have a year rating that is typically based on weight, and they are all pretty much the same. If the year rating is better they are usually heavier.
