Dry Verge Systems Stepaside
The verge is the edge of your tiled roof where it meets the gable end, that bit running up the outside line of the roofline. For years, we sealed it with mortar, and while that does the job for a while, it inevitably starts to crack and crumble away, leaving gaps for water and wind to sneak through. A dry verge system does away with mortar altogether, using interlocking, weatherproof caps that simply work better and last longer.
How a dry verge system works
Plastic or composite caps clip neatly over the end of each tile and lock together all the way up the gable. They’re mechanically fixed straight to the roof batten, so there’s no relying on mortar to hold them in place. What you get is a properly sealed, weather-tight verge that looks after itself without any fuss.
Benefits over traditional mortar
- No more cracked, crumbling mortar dropping into your flower beds
- Completely weather-tight, keeping wind-driven rain from getting under the tiles
- Stops birds and pests from getting in at the gable end
- Manufacturer guarantees of 10 years or more on most systems
- Clean, smart finish available in colours to match your tiles
