Dry Ridge Roof Systems in Devon
Dry ridge tile fixing is a roofing technique that utilises screws, typically made of durable stainless steel. These screws fasten clamps between the joints of each roof tile, securing the tiles to the roof. The clamps themselves provide a secure grip on the tiles, while waterproof unions located beneath the tiles help to channel rainfall and disperse it back onto the roof, effectively preventing water damage.
Dry Ridge Benefits
Dry ridge roofing systems offers numerous benefits for homeowners and building owners alike. Here are some of the top advantages of using this roofing technique:
- Improved durability: Dry ridge roofing utilises high-quality materials, including stainless steel screws and clamps, that offer superior resistance to weather and water damage. This means that dry ridge roofs are less likely to experience leaks or other issues over time.
