Why we use dry-fix systems

Mortar ridges and verges are hit hardest by the weather. Over the years the mortar cracks, washes out and the ridge tiles loosen. A dry-fix system clips each ridge and verge piece down mechanically, so there's no mortar to crumble.

  • Dry-fix ridge and hip systems
  • Dry verge on gable ends
  • Ridge re-bedding where mortar suits the house
  • Ideal for exposed and coastal roofs

Questions

Is dry ridge better than mortar?

Dry-fix systems are mechanically fixed, so they don't crack or wash out the way mortar does. They're widely used on new roofs and re-roofs today.
