What Are Dry Ridge and
​Dry Verge Systems?

Dry ridge systems use mechanical fixings and durable, weather-resistant materials to secure ridge tiles, while dry verge systems protect the vulnerable edges of your roof. Unlike traditional mortar, these systems use plastic or metal components that allow for movement and strong, secure fixing. They are commonly fitted on both new-build and refurbishment projects, providing a contemporary finish and longer lifespan.
