Product Information

Full details

The Manthorpe Dry Verge Unit is an essential component for roofing contractors and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a secure, weather-tight finish on the edge of a pitched roof. This unit is specifically engineered to provide a robust alternative to traditional mortar bedding, offering superior resistance against wind uplift and water ingress. While it provides a streamlined and maintenance-free finish, users must note that this product is handed; therefore, you must purchase the specific left-hand version for the left verge of your roof to ensure proper fitment.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this product reversible for the right side of the roof?

No, this is specifically a Left-Hand unit. You must purchase the corresponding Right-Hand version for the other side of the roof.

Does this require mortar?

No, the Manthorpe Dry Verge system is a dry-fix product and requires no mortar at all.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a hammer, a saw for cutting tiles if necessary, and appropriate corrosion-resistant clout nails.

How many units do I need?

The number of units required depends on the length of your roof slope. You should measure the length of the verge and divide by the effective cover length of one unit.

Can I use this on existing roofs?

Yes, it can be retrofitted to existing roofs provided there is adequate access to the tile battens at the verge.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not align with the tile edge

Verify that your tile batten spacing is consistent and that you are not using a right-hand unit by mistake.

Unit feels loose after installation

Ensure that the unit is firmly nailed into the batten and that the clip has fully engaged with the previous unit's tail fin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for traditional mortar bedding
  • Provides high resistance to wind uplift
  • Simple, intuitive clipping installation process
  • Maintenance-free design suitable for long-term use
  • Weather-tight seal protects the roof sub-structure

Cons

  • Specific left-hand version is not reversible
  • Requires specific tile batten overhang for correct installation
  • Must be installed sequentially starting from the eaves
  • Not compatible with all roofing tile profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your tile battens extend at least 30mm beyond the gable brickwork. Place the unit over the edge of the tile and align the internal clips with the tail fin of the unit below. Secure the unit through the pre-drilled holes in the tail using corrosion-resistant clout nails.

Compatibility: This unit is the Left-Hand (LH) version (MPN: GDV-LH-GR). It is only suitable for the left side of the roof gable when viewed from the outside.

Care: Inspect the verge annually for any signs of loose fixings or physical damage caused by falling debris. The material is designed to be maintenance-free, so periodic cleaning with water is sufficient to keep the finish looking new.
