What is a dry ridge system?
A dry ridge system is a roofing solution used to secure the ridge tiles at the top of a pitched roof without the use of mortar. Instead, the system relies on mechanical fixings and interlocking components, such as clips and ridge caps, to hold the tiles in place. This system provides a secure, weather-resistant finish that prevents common issues like mortar cracking, which can occur over time due to weather exposure.
The dry ridge system offers numerous benefits, including improved durability, reduced maintenance, better ventilation, and protection against water ingress. It is commonly used for both new roof installations and roof refurbishments, providing a long-lasting and low-maintenance solution for securing ridge tiles.
