what is a dry verge?
A dry verge is a roofing system used to cover the edges of a pitched roof where tiles or slates meet the gable wall of a house.
The dry verge system is designed to provide a neat and secure finish to the roofline, preventing water from penetrating the roof space and also keeping out insects and small animals.
It consists of interlocking components that are installed over the roof tiles or slates and secured to the roof battens with screws or clips.
The dry verge system is a popular alternative to traditional mortar bedding, which can crack and deteriorate over time, allowing water to seep into the roof space.
dry verge for slate
The dry verge system for slate typically includes a base unit that is attached to the roof batten and a cap unit that is fitted over the edge of the slate tiles. The base and cap units are designed to interlock, providing a secure and weathertight seal. The system also includes a batten end clip that is used to fix the system to the batten.
dry verge for concrete/clay
The dry verge system for concrete tiles consists of a series of interlocking components that are designed to cover the exposed edges of the tiles. The components include a starter unit, a closure unit, and an interlocking verge unit. These units are fixed to the roof battens with screws or clips, and they are designed to provide a secure and weathertight seal.
