{"product_id":"dry-verge-kit-mechanical-dry-fix-profiled-tiles","title":"Dry Verge Kit – Mechanical Dry-Fix Verge System for Profiled Roof Tiles, Handed Left \u0026amp; Right","description":"\u003cp\u003eMortar-bedded verges crack, drop tiles and let wind-driven rain track back under the roof covering within a handful of winters — which is exactly why BS 5534 now expects a mechanical fixing at the verge on most re-roofs and new builds. This kit clips each tile course to a UV-stable PVC-U verge unit instead, giving a permanently ventilated, weathertight gable edge that never needs re-pointing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach unit locks over the tile edge and interlocks with the next, so a finished verge line stays straight and secure even in exposed, high-wind locations. Because the system is dry-fixed, it also opens a continuous ventilation path along the roof edge — helping timber and battens dry out rather than trap moisture the way a solid mortar fillet does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProperty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUV-stabilised PVC-U\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack quantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 verge units per pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. coverage per pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~6 linear metres of verge (tile-gauge dependent)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHanding\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeft Hand and Right Hand units (fitted alternately along the verge)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack, Grey, Brown, Terracotta\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible with\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard profiled interlocking concrete and clay roof tiles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScrew-fixed to batten, tile-clip interlock — no mortar or pointing required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure each verge run and order enough packs to cover the total length, then split evenly between Left Hand and Right Hand units as the courses alternate.
