maximum protection

The traditional methods of securing the ridge,

verge, hip, and valley details of a roof with so

called wet trades are now being replaced in

modern roof construction in favour of the securityand flexibility offered by dry fix systems.

Experience has shown that when traditional mortar is used

to secure details such as the ridge and verge it will usually

fail during the life of the building leading to costly remedialwork to areas of a property which are notoriously difficult to

access. These wet trades are also time consuming, labour

intensive and are hindered by adverse weather conditions

such as rain and cold temperatures.

Dry fix systems can offer the installer considerable

advantages over traditional methods, providing high

performance, easy to fix, maintenance free solutions which

can not only speed up the job on site, but also offer long

term financial benefits.

Due to the nature in which the systems are fitted, there is no

need for the use of mortar, making the task of finishing the

verge quick, easy and clean, as well as making it possibleduring frosts and other adverse weather conditions.

Manthorpe produce two dry verge systems that are

compatible with a range of roof coverings. The SmartVerge

system is designed for use with large format interlocking

concrete tiles, including those with a deep profile. TheLinear Dry Verge system is intended for use with slates,

interlocking plain tiles and flat interlocking concrete tiles.

The systems are:

Fast and easy to fit in all weather conditions

Weatherproof and maintenance free

Extremely secure, mechanically fixed

Manufactured from a robust uPVC material

With the Manthorpe fast fit dry verge systems you have an

alternative that saves you time, increases your efficiency

and delivers significant benefits to your customers.

The Manthorpe dry verge systems have been

designed to provide an extremely cost-effective

alternative to a traditional mortar bedded verge

that offers a neat finish and avoids all of the longterm maintenance problems.
