Dry Ridge & Dry Verge Systems
A dry verge and ridge system is a roofing method that uses mechanical fixings instead of traditional mortar to secure tiles along the roof’s edges and ridge. This system offers several benefits, including improved durability, ease of installation, and minimal maintenance requirements.
