TapcoSlate Classic Slate Dry Verge Apex Unit

The TapcoSlate Classic Slate Dry Verge Apex Unit is designed to provide a neat and secure finishing detail at the apex of a roof using the TapcoSlate Classic dry verge system. This dry-fix accessory helps create a clean transition at the gable end while protecting the verge against wind uplift and rain.

Secure and Weatherproof Apex Detail

The TapcoSlate Classic Apex Unit helps create a continuous, weathertight finish at the roof apex. Its design provides additional protection to the slates at the verge by helping secure them in place, while also helping prevent water from penetrating the roof edge. As a dry-fix system, it offers a straightforward installation without the need for traditional mortar-based detailing. The result is a clean and crisp appearance at the apex, helping give the completed roof a professional finish.

Durable Aluminium Construction

Made from high-grade pre-primed polyester-coated aluminium, the apex unit is designed to withstand the demands of an exposed roof environment. The strong construction provides lasting protection while requiring no ongoing maintenance once installed. The units are available in four different apex angles, allowing the system to accommodate a variety of roof configurations. Each angle can also be adjusted slightly by approximately +/- 2-3 degrees to help achieve a suitable fit.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:

We recommend ordering an additional 10% of roof tiles to allow for any breakages that may occur during delivery or handling. Roof tiles are naturally fragile, and having a few extra on site helps prevent delays and ensures your roofing project can be completed without interruption.
