A plain tile dry verge system is a method of securing the edges of roof tiles without the need for mortar. It involves using a specially designed system of interlocking caps or brackets that fit over the verge (roof edge), providing a secure and weatherproof finish while enhancing the roof’s appearance. While dry verge systems are compatible with many roof types, it is essential to choose a system specifically designed for plain tiles.
Dry verge systems are popular because they easy to install, protect against wind uplift, prevent leaks and eliminate the need for mortar, which can deteriorate over time. This system also provides a clean, consistent look that reduces maintenance requirements. They are designed to be highly durable, often lasting decades with minimal maintenance. Unlike traditional mortar verges, dry verge systems are resistant to weathering and do not crack or crumble, making them a long-lasting option.
Plain tile dry verge systems offer a modern, clean edge to the roof, which may look different from traditional mortar verges. However, many systems are designed to blend with the roof, maintaining a natural appearance.
