Common Questions About This Dry Fix Clay Ridge Union
What is Dry Ridge system?
Dry Ridge is a mechanically fitted system that fixes ridge tiles to the roof using screws and fixings instead of mortar or sand. It is a more reliable and robust installation method compared to the traditional methods thanks to its durability and weatherproof testing which ensures tiles do not come loose due to wind up-lift and water damage. Installation of a Dry Ridge System is also much faster and can be carried out all year round, even in more extreme weather conditions.
How do you install the Dry Fix Clay Ridge Unions?
The Dry Fix Ridge Union is designed to sit in the spaces in between the ridge tiles to hold them securely in place. Easy to fit, the union slides onto the edge of the ridge tile with enough flexibility to bend and the fit the shape of the tile, round or angled. The next ridge tile then slots into the other side and this simply continues down the full ridge length.
Once this is complete and all ridge tiles are correctly placed, the unions are fixed by driving the countersunk screw, with the washers and clamp, through the hole in the top and going into the horizontal batten beneath it.
Then, the screws should be tightened down securely so that the clamp presses down onto the ridge tile keeping it in place.
