Dry Verge Systems Lucan
The verge is the edge of your tiled roof where it meets the gable end of your home, running up along that sloping outside line. For years, builders sealed this edge with mortar, which does the job nicely at first but eventually starts to crack and crumble away, leaving gaps for rain and wind to sneak through. A dry verge system does away with mortar altogether, using interlocking, weatherproof caps that last much longer and perform far better.
How a dry verge system works
These clever plastic or composite caps simply clip over the end of each tile and lock neatly together all the way up the gable. They’re mechanically fixed straight to the roof batten, so there’s no relying on mortar to hold them in place. What you get is a properly sealed, weather-tight verge that looks after itself with no ongoing maintenance needed.
Benefits over traditional mortar
- No more crumbling mortar breaking off and landing in your flowerbeds
- Completely weather-tight — wind-driven rain can’t work its way under the tiles
- Stops birds and pests from getting in at the gable end
- Manufacturer guarantees of 10 years or more on most systems
- Smart, modern appearance in colours that match your tiles perfectly
