Before installation please note; The Sandtoft TLE dry verge system is not intended to
be waterproof. Rainwater running off the roof at the verge will run through the verge
units and drip from the underside of the verge units. To minimise the risk of water
staining to the gable wall it is recommended that the verge units are positioned
approximately 5mm off the wall. The use of a bargeboard with flat tiles will also help
to minimise the risk of water staining on the gable wall.
Installation:
1) Lay the underlay in the usual way,
allowing a 40mm overhang at the
verge. Set out the tile battens at the
appropriate gauge for the tile.
Extend each batten 35mm beyond
the outer edge of the wall or the
bargeboard and fix. This dimension
positions the verge units 5mm off
the wall or bargeboard.
2) Position an eaves course tile at
the verge with the correct overhang
over the eaves and verge. Locate
the eaves closure onto the tile as
shown.
Securely fix the eaves closure to the
wall or bargeboard using 2
appropriate fixings (screws - not
supplied).
Break off the lower locator from the
eaves closure as shown.

3) Locate the first verge unit over
the eaves closure and click into
position. Screw through an
appropriate fixing hole into the
centre of the vertical batten using a
35 x 4mm stainless steel screw
(supplied).
4) Fit the next verge unit by locating
over the verge tile and clicking the
tail over the head of the first verge
unit. Screw through an appropriate
fixing hole into the centre of the
batten. Follow this procedure for
each tile course up to the ridge. Nail
all verge tiles. At the right hand
verge, tiles can also be secured
using tile clips if required.

5) Before inserting the top course
verge units into their final positions
locate the ridge closure comb onto
the lower edges of each verge unit
as shown. This will close the gap
between the verge units and the
wall. If you are using a plastic ridge
end cap the ridge closure comb is
not required.
For some tile profiles and roof
pitches it may be necessary to cut
the top course 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.
