Fareham Roofing are experts in fitting Dry Verge Systems and can guarantee your roof and home will be vastly improved with reduced maintenance costs as a result of getting us to fit a Dry Verge System for your roof. The number of storms battering the UK is on the increase and there is a growing realisation of the poor results from using mortar (wet mix) to secure areas of the roof such as the verge.
The Dry Verge Tile System has been designed to be a cost effective alternative that avoids all of the long term maintenance problems of mortar bedding.
The overhang or verge of a roof is commonly protected by a wet verge made of mortar. However, exposure to the weather deteriorates the mortar, which causes it to crack and crumble leading to water leakage and roof damage.
The mortar doesn't keep pests, small animals and birds from invading the roof space which may cause damage.
The old wet verge requires regular maintenance with repairs, which can be costly.
A more durable and hassle free alternative is the use of dry verge caps made of tough plastic. These fit over the edge of your tiles, and offer long lasting protection to your roof.
They are more popular and give a finished look to the roof.
Dry verge keeps small animals and birds out, which protects the roof.
Dry verge allows for natural movement of the building and for ventilation to prevent condensation.
Its weatherproof and waterproof.
Dry verge comes in a choice of colours.
Dry Ridge has been designed to give the appearance of a traditional bedded ridge, but with all the benefits that a modern dry ridge system provides, such as secure mechanical fixing and appropriate ventilation.
The Dry Ridge system incorporates ventilation strips to support the ridges and provides high level ventilation.
Ridge unions provide an efficient seal between each ridge and give the appearance of a 10mm mortar joint. To complete the system and to enhance aesthetics, profile fillers are supplied for profiled tile types. The fillers click into the ventilation strips and both are marked to ensure correct orientation.
