Dry Verge Systems Rathmines
The verge is the edge of your tiled roof where it meets the gable end of your property, running along the outer line of the roofline. For many years, this area was traditionally sealed using mortar, which does its job reasonably well initially but tends to crack and break away after a few years, allowing wind and water to penetrate. A dry verge system does away with mortar altogether, using interlocking, weatherproof caps that deliver superior long term performance.
How a dry verge system works
Plastic or composite caps clip securely over the end of each individual tile and interlock with one another along the entire gable edge. They are mechanically fixed directly to the roof batten, meaning they do not rely on mortar to remain in place. The outcome is a fully sealed, weather resistant verge that requires no ongoing maintenance.
Benefits over traditional mortar
- No more cracking, crumbling mortar or debris falling into your garden
- Completely weather tight, preventing wind driven rain from getting beneath tiles
- Stops birds and pests from gaining entry at the gable end
- Manufacturer guarantees of 10 years or more on most systems
- Clean, contemporary finish available in colours to match your tiles
