Dry Verge Systems Dundrum
The verge marks where your tiled roof meets the gable end, that sloping edge running along the side of your home. For generations, Irish roofers sealed this junction with mortar, a method that holds up reasonably well initially but begins showing its age after a few years. Cracks appear, chunks drop away, and suddenly you’ve got wind and rain finding their way beneath your tiles. A dry verge system does away with mortar entirely, using interlocking, weatherproof caps that simply outperform the old approach.
How a dry verge system works
These systems use plastic or composite caps that clip snugly over the end of each tile, locking together as they run up the gable. Rather than relying on mortar to hold them in place, they’re mechanically fixed straight to the roof batten underneath. Picture a zip running along your roofline, each cap clicking into the next. What you end up with is a completely sealed, weather-tight verge that asks nothing of you once it’s installed.
