Dry Ridge
Create a secure, long-lasting roof finish with our high-quality dry ridge systems from JJ Building Materials. Designed as a modern alternative to traditional mortar bedding, a dry ridge system provides strong mechanical fixing, excellent ventilation and long-term weather protection for roofs of all types.
Dry Ridge Systems for Secure, Maintenance-Free Roofing
A dry ridge system uses durable fixings and breathable components to mechanically secure ridge tiles in place. Unlike mortar, it won’t crack, dislodge or require regular maintenance. This makes a dry ridge installation ideal for homes in exposed or high-wind areas, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
Weatherproof, Ventilated and Easy to Install
Our dry ridge solutions improve roof ventilation, helping prevent condensation and moisture build-up in the roof space. Each kit includes all essential fixings for a straightforward installation, suitable for both new builds and re-roofing projects. The system is compatible with most ridge tiles and works seamlessly with modern breathable roof membranes.
Durable Materials for Long-Term Performance
Manufactured from UV-stable and weather-resistant materials, every dry ridge system is built to withstand harsh UK conditions. Strong mechanical fixings ensure the ridge line remains secure year after year, reducing the need for repairs and extending the overall lifespan of the roof.
