Manthorpe Dry Ridge Union Bracket

The Ridge Union sits in the gaps between each of the ridge or hip tiles, holding them in place. The union's body slides onto the end of the tile and is flexible so that it bends to the shape of the tile. The next tile slots into the other side of the union and this continues along the full length of the ridge or hip. Once the tiles are all correctly rested in place, the unions are secured by driving the screw assembly; complete with clamp plate and sealing washers, through the hole in the top and into the horizontal batten below.

The screws should be tightened down so that the clamp plate presses down on the tile securing it in position. The unions are available separately or as part of Manthorpe’s Dry Ridge System which can be purchased with all the components required to cover a run of approximately 3 or 6 metres.

Independently Tested to BS 8612

Following the increased use of dry fix systems courtesy of these updates to BS 5534, a brand-new standard BS 8612 was introduced in February of 2018 to better control the design and material construction of dry fix systems. Manthorpe’s range of dry fix products have been independently tested to conform with the requirements of BS 8612, performance data for the tests conducted on these products is available upon request.

By far the simplest, quickest, and most cost-effective way of complying with the new standard is to join the switch to dry fix methods of roofing. Manthorpe's dry fix systems provide a high performance, easy to fix and maintenance free solution which can not only speed up the job on site, but also offer long term financial benefits.

The Bat Ridge Roost provides a habitable roost space for small crevice-dwelling bat species found in the UK.

Designed in association with the Bat Conservation Trust as part of their Roost Partnership scheme the product is a self-contained, externally mounted unit which offers no means of access for the bats to enter the roof space or the property. The Bat Ridge Roost also acts as a ridge end cap and is optimised to work in conjunction with the Manthorpe SmartVerge Polypropylene handed and ambidextrous dry verge systems (alternatively, could also be used with third party dry verge, traditional verge tiles or mortared in verge details).
