A dry verge is a modern roofing solution which forms a weathertight seal on the edge of a roof, acting as a physical barrier preventing wind, rain, birds and pests from gaining access to the roof. It uses interlocking caps which are mechanically fixed over the edge of the tiles on the gable end of a pitched roof and can be installed on both new and existing roofs.
It is designed to replace ‘wet’ mortar finish verges which have traditionally been used for this purpose. The ‘stepped’ look created by the dry verge provides a tidy, secure finish that is aesthetically similar to a wet verge.
A dry verge system is reliable, easy to install and requires minimal maintenance. This is a high-performance solution which performs in line with the British Standard BS 8612 ‘Dry-fixed Ridge, Hip and Verge Systems for Slating and Tiling’ regulations covering the design and installation of dry fix systems.
