Dry Verge Systems look great and are built to last.

Roofs naturally deteriorate over time due to exposure to the elements, so it’s unavoidable that every piece of mortar in every roof will eventually need replacing. 

By investing in a dry verge system, homeowners across the North East of England and Yorkshire can benefit from a more robust, modern roofing method designed to weather the elements more effectively and stand the test of time.

What is a dry verge system? 

Dry verge roofing is typically not a traditional inclusion in the roofs of most properties. It’s likely that your home currently has a wet verge system comprised of sand and cement-filled mortar; this will inevitably crack and even fall out over time.

A dry verge roof is built to combat this natural deterioration. Using interlocking dry verge caps, which are individually screwed and fastened to the roof battens, the dry verge system is a much more durable alternative to now-outdated wet verge roofs.

Adaptable enough to accommodate both tiled and slate roofs, the linear smart verge is often used as a dry fix system for low profile and slate roofs. However, when it comes to an entirely new roof, the cloaked verge tiles are an even more modern option, costing no more than a standard dry verge system per square metre.

Your mortar matters. 

Mortar is still regarded as a well-established, efficient material and remains a logical choice regarding the verge of your roof. 

It’s excellent at preventing water from entering your roof and any birds from nesting their way into your home. With all this said, unfortunately, it will still dry, crack and crumble over time.

This effect isn’t just a result of weather, either. Just as mortar will naturally crumble, buildings themselves will naturally move regularly. As mortar isn’t designed to shift with the structure, these tiny movements will gradually wear down the integrity of the material over time, leaving your roof on shaky ground in more ways than one.

However, this is where the dry verge system comes in. It offers increased protection against water, and the system is built to withstand these minute natural movements while losing none of its structural integrity.
