Dry fix made easy

The code of practice for installing slates and tiles, BS 5534, is an extensive document that establishes the importance of dry fixing in roof installation.

That is, the use of mechanical fixings in roof coverings in place of traditional mortar. While the standard isn't required by law, following its guidelines will contribute towards building regulation compliance.

As one of the early pioneers in dry fixing, Marley has developed many high-performance purpose-made systems for pitched roofs, including dry fix ridges, hips, verges, valleys, and ventilation products. We also continue to design and innovate new dry fix products, adding to and improving our range.

Installing the Marley Roof System

All the components in the Marley Roof System are designed to work together, giving installers the benefits of streamlined installation, easy product procurement, building regulation compliance and customer satisfaction.

Base layers

As the only machine-graded battens on the market, JB Red Battens offer strength and reliability. There’s also a choice of high-performance underlays, including both vapour-permeable and non-breathable options, while our Roof Defence fire barrier adds an extra layer of protection between adjoining properties, such as terraced houses or blocks of flats.

Roof coverings

The Marley collection of roof coverings includes everything from clay and concrete tiles to timber shingles and shakes, giving you and your customers a huge range of aesthetic options. Tiles are available for low-pitched roofs down to 12.5 degrees and we also offer the Marley SolarTile®, an integrated solar panel that is installed in place of roof tiles.
