Dry Ridge & Dry Verge

In England & Wales, traditional mortar bedding is still the most widely used fixing method, compared to Scotland where currently 80% of verges are mechanically fixed. However, with the increased incidence of storms over the past few years has clearly highlighted the unreliability of mortar to secure the tiles, the switch to dry verge is gathering greater momentum every year, with all the advantage.

It is not difficult to see why British standards state that no reliance should be placed on the shear strength of mortar used in the filling and bedding. Mortar will eventually crack, in contrast, Redland dry verges are mechanically fixed and each unit individually screwed. With the next unit interlocking giving extra strength and hiding the screws offering maximum protection against strong wind and water penetration giving you long term protection with a neat, attractive appearance and with none of the ongoing costs associated with mortar
