Dry Verge Systems Kilternan
The verge is the edge where your tiled roof meets the gable end of your home, running along the outer slope line. For years, builders sealed this edge with mortar, which does the job nicely at first but tends to crack and crumble after a while, leaving gaps for rain and wind to sneak through. A dry verge system swaps out that mortar for interlocking, weatherproof caps that simply work better and last longer.
How a dry verge system works
Plastic or composite caps clip neatly over the end of each tile and lock 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.
Benefits over traditional mortar
- No more cracked, crumbling mortar dropping into your flower beds
- Completely weather-tight — keeps wind-driven rain from getting 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, tidy finish in colours that match your tiles
