Broadwalk Paving Ltd - Dry Verge & Dry Ridge Systems - Repairs & Upgrades

Dry Verge

Dry ridge and verge systems have been designed over the past few years
Products from companies such as Marley, Klober, Manthorpe and several other companies. These units have been designed to make roofs mortar free and in turn maintenance free.
PVC dry verge is specially designed to block any gaps that could permit birds.
It makes an attractive finish to the roof line.

Dry Ridge

Dry Ridge systems come in a variety of designs but offer a similar level of performance.
They are designed to secure the ridge tiles which are located at the apex of a roof. When using dry ridge systems the mortar joints between ridge tiles are replaced by plastic inserts, known as unions, that create the visual appearance of a mortar joint but have a hidden weather proofing system that carries away the water.

Avoid mortar

Whilst mortar certainly does the job, there are a number of disadvantages it is worth being aware of. First, mortar has a limited lifespan and requires regular maintenance because it will deteriorate in time through natural weathering. 
We still undertake repairs to the roof verges and embed ridge tiles, however, it is more cost effective to upgrade to the new dry verge & dry ridge systems.
