Introduction
Sandtoft continuous dry verge system is
extremely quick and easy to fit and is designed
to give a neat finish to the roof tiling at verges. It is
suitable for installation at bargeboards, gable
ladders or directly over even brickwork or
masonry.
The verge units are available in convenient 3 metre
lengths. The material is high quality, external
grade, rigid upvc, which is extremely resistant to
light degradation and atmospheric pollution.
Verge connectors and eaves stop ends are
available to complement the system.
Compatibility
For use with Vauban, Modula & Actua interlocking
clay roof tiles

Components

Installation
1. lay the underlay in the usual way and finish
flush with the outer edge of the wall or
bargeboard. Set out the tile battens at the
appropriate gauge for the tile and finish flush
with the outer edge of the wall or bargeboard.
2. At the eaves, remove a section of the
horizontal flange from the verge unit. This
allows the verge unit to accommodate the
fascia or tilt fillet and underlay support tray -
see drawing A.

Installation continued................
3. Locate the horizontal flange of the verge
unit between the top of the wall and tile
battens and push until it makes contact with
the wall or bargeboard. Secure by fixing
through the battens and horizontal flange into
the wall - see drawing B.
4. At the eaves, position the verge unit flush
with the tails of the eaves courses tiles. The
lower fin of the verge unit may require
trimming to avoid interference with the
gutter. If necessary, make a small notch in the
gutter to accommodate the verge water
channel to ensure water drains effectively into
the gutter from the verge unit.
5. At the ridge apex, cut the verge units to
form a mitre either side of the ridge apex.
6. Start/terminate the ridge with a block end
ridge tile or plastic ridge cap to cover the top
of the verge units.
7. Use a verge connector where necessary to
join two verge units - the verge units simply
push into each side of the connector.
8. If using an eaves stop end, this must be
bonded into position on the end of the verge
unit using Sandtoft Multifix adhesive.
9. Lay the tiles in the usual way, positioning
each verge tile fully into the verge unit. Each
verge tile must be nailed or screwed. In
addition, the top flange of the verge unit will
secure the tile tails - see drawing C.
