 A dry verge is a roofing system used to cover and protect the edges of roof tiles, typically at the gable end. It provides a neat, weatherproof finish and eliminates the need for mortar.

 Yes, they offer improved durability, easier installation, low maintenance, and better protection against weather conditions compared to traditional mortar verges.

 Yes, but it’s important to ensure the mortar is in good condition and level. In some cases, removing the old mortar may provide a more secure fit.

They dress over the roof tiles, sliding under the overlap and are then screwed into the tile batten or the bargeboard, locking the tiles in place to create a secure, weatherproof edge.

Yes, it can be retrofitted by dressing the units under the existing roof tiles and securing them to the fascia or bargeboard or a support batten, improving both durability and appearance.

Dry verges are compatible with most common roof tiles. It is worth checking the tile overlap depth to ensure the nailing plate is positioned to allow a secure fixing into the bargeboard or batten.

Dry verges are designed to be compatible with tiles installed on battens set with a gauge of 260–355mm.
