Marley Universal Dry Verge

Marley universal dery verge system

The Marley universal dry verge system is a robust, mortar-free roofing solution designed for exceptional durability and weather resistance.

Its versatile compatibility with a wide range of interlocking tiles ensures a neat, maintenance-free finish that enhances the functionality and aesthetics of your roof, all while meeting BS 5534 and NHBC guidelines. 

Dry fix roofing accessories and fittings have developed considerably over the last couple of decades as an alternative to mortar bedding.

Dry fix systems are mechanically fixed, which is a more reliable installation method compared with the traditional method of mortar fixing. In addition to being maintenance free, dry fix ridge systems also provide ventilation that are able to contribute to the requirements of BS 5250, the code of practice for the control of condensation.

The edge of a pitched roof where the tiles finish over the gable end is known as the verge and is traditionally sealed with a layer of wet mortar which over time can deteriorate and even fall out completely, even in a relatively short space of time, requiring replacement. A more durable and maintenance free solution is a dry verge system which uses interlocking caps clipped over the edge of the roof tiles, providing a secure fixing and protecting the roof space from weathering and pest damage.

•  The Universal Dry Verge is engineered to protect against severe weather, significantly reducing the risk of damage from wind uplift and water ingress.  This is a mechanically fixed system, meaning no mortar is needed and helping to achieve compliance with BS 5534 and B8612. When used with Marley’s Universal batten end clip, the Universal Dry Verge provides the most secure individual dry verge system on the market.

This system's flexible design is compatible with a wide range of clay and concrete tile profiles, including large standard tiles, medium-format tiles and large-format tiles with a thin leading edge. A universal solution for any tiled roof, the Universal Dry Verge ensures a tight and secure fit, enhancing the roof's structural integrity, weather resistance and aesthetic finish.

With its innovative clip-fixing system, the Universal Dry Verge can be installed quickly and securely without mortar, reducing labour time and eliminating the curing period associated with traditional methods. This feature not only speeds up the installation process but also decreases the potential for future maintenance issues and supports compliance with dry-fix roofing standards.

 Manufactured from high-grade polypropylene, the Universal Dry Verge is extremely durable. Once installed, it requires no ongoing maintenance, providing a cost-effective solution that retains its functionality and appearance over time without additional expenses.
