DRY RIDGE INSTALLATION IN BELFAST
Ridge tiles run along the highest point of a pitched roof and are particularly exposed to the weather. Traditional mortar bedding can deteriorate over time, resulting in cracked or loose mortar around the ridge. A dry ridge system mechanically secures the ridge tiles without relying solely on traditional mortar.
Mortared Ridge Replacement
Where existing ridge mortar has cracked, loosened or deteriorated, we can assess the ridge and determine whether upgrading to a dry ridge system is appropriate.
Dry Ridge Installation
Dry ridge systems use purpose-designed components to mechanically secure ridge tiles along the roof, providing a secure and consistent dry-fix installation.
Existing Roof Upgrades
Suitable existing pitched roofs can be upgraded from traditional mortar-bedded ridges to a dry ridge system, particularly where ageing mortar is requiring repeated attention.
DRY RIDGE FAQs
Answers to common questions about dry ridge systems, deteriorated ridge mortar and upgrading traditional ridge tiles throughout Belfast and Greater Belfast.
What is a dry ridge system?
A dry ridge system mechanically secures the ridge tiles along the highest point of a pitched roof. It provides an alternative to relying solely on traditional mortar bedding and pointing.
What is the ridge of a roof?
The ridge is the horizontal line at the highest point of a pitched roof where two roof slopes meet. Ridge tiles cover and finish this junction.
Why does mortar around ridge tiles deteriorate?
Ridge mortar is exposed to rain, wind and changing weather conditions. Over time, this exposure can cause mortar to crack, loosen or deteriorate.
Can old mortared ridge tiles be converted to dry ridge?
Yes, where the existing roof is suitable. The ridge and surrounding roofing should first be inspected to determine what preparation and installation work is required.
Does a dry ridge system use mortar?
Dry ridge systems are designed to mechanically secure the ridge tiles rather than relying solely on traditional exposed mortar to hold them in position.
Can dry ridge be installed on an existing roof?
Yes. Dry ridge can be installed on suitable existing pitched roofs. The condition of the ridge tiles and surrounding roof should be assessed before installation.
What is the difference between dry ridge and dry verge?
Dry ridge is used along the highest horizontal point of a pitched roof, while dry verge is installed along the exposed sloping edges of the roof. MPM provides both systems.
