The Manthorpe Building Products Dry Verge Ridge Cap is designed for roofing contractors and DIY enthusiasts seeking a secure, weather-resistant finish at the apex of a gable roof.

No, this specific model is designed exclusively for angled ridge tiles.
No, this is a dry-fix system intended to replace mortar entirely.
The cap is manufactured from high-quality, durable, UV-stable materials suitable for exterior roofing.
Yes, it is fully compliant with BS 5534 for mechanical fixing.
While the finish is color-stable, it is generally not recommended to paint as it may affect the weather-resistant coating.
Check if the ridge batten is too high or low and ensure no debris is trapped underneath the cap.
Verify that the ridge batten is present and positioned correctly beneath the nail holes; use a slightly longer screw if necessary.
Confirm that the dry verge system used is compatible with the angled ridge cap design.
Installation requires ensuring the ridge batten is positioned at the correct height to accommodate the cap. First, ensure the final ridge tile is securely positioned. Place the angled cap over the end of the ridge tile, allowing the integrated hooks to catch the dry verge units below. Use the included screws to secure the cap through the provided blind nail holes directly into the timber battens. No special cleaning is generally required beyond an occasional inspection to ensure that the fixings remain tight and the unit hasn't been dislodged by extreme weather events. Ensure compatibility with your existing dry verge system before installation to ensure the hook-over mechanism aligns properly.
