Ridge and hip tiles run across the peak of the roof, providing the perfect clean finish to a roof. So, it’s essential that they are installed securely.
Dry ridge systems are very popular, as they offer an effective and efficient alternative to traditional sand and cement mortar fixing. The answer to the question ‘is a dry ridge system any good?’ is an emphatic ‘yes’! With Dry Verge and Roofline Direct offering a range of dry ridge options: 10m kits, 6m kits, universal dry ridge kits and mono ridge systems as well as the accessories and extension/conversion kits needed, we have everything you could want for a successful dry ridge system installation.
How does the Dry Ridge System Work?
Dry ridge systems utilise screws and clamps to fix each ridge tile in place, with waterproof unions beneath the screws to divert water. One of the most popular dry ridge systems is the roll-out, which provides ventilation and waterproof protection, such as the Manthorpe Roll Out Dry Ridge Kit
In contrast to the mortar-based ridge system, the dry system offers numerous advantages. It is quickly and simply installed, requires minimal maintenance, is sturdier in bad weather and stronger winds, waterproof, and allows for roof flexibility. Plus, ventilation is enabled as the roll-out system prevents moisture build-up and potential structural damage.
