Dry Verge Systems Lusk
The verge is the edge of your tiled roof where it meets the gable end of your home, running along the outer line of the roofline. Traditionally, this area was sealed using mortar, which provides adequate protection for a few years before it begins to crack, break away and allow water and wind to penetrate. A dry verge system offers a modern alternative, replacing mortar with interlocking, weatherproof caps that deliver superior performance.
How a dry verge system works
Plastic or composite caps are clipped over the end of each individual tile and interlock securely along the gable edge. These caps are mechanically fixed directly to the roof batten, which means they do not rely on mortar to remain in place. The outcome is a sealed, weathertight verge that requires no ongoing maintenance.
Benefits over traditional mortar

- Completely weathertight, preventing wind-driven rain from getting beneath tiles
- Blocks bird and pest entry at the gable end
- Manufacturer guarantees of 10 years or more on most systems
- Clean, contemporary finish available in colours matched to your tiles
