Dry Verge Systems Portmarnock
The verge is the edge where your tiled roof meets the gable end, running along the outer slope line. For decades, roofers sealed this junction with mortar. It does the job for a while, then the inevitable happens: cracks appear, chunks drop off, and suddenly wind and rain have a way in. A dry verge system does away with mortar entirely, using interlocking weatherproof caps that simply perform better.
How a dry verge system works
Plastic or composite caps clip directly over the end of each roof tile and lock together down the length of the gable. Each cap is mechanically fixed to the roof batten, so there’s no reliance on mortar to hold things in place. What you get is a fully sealed, weather-tight verge that requires zero maintenance.
Benefits over traditional mortar
- No more cracked, crumbling mortar dropping into your flowerbeds
- Completely weather-tight, stopping wind-driven rain from getting under tiles
- Blocks birds and pests from entering at the gable end
- Manufacturer guarantees of 10 years or more on most systems
- Clean, contemporary finish available in colours to match your tiles
