Traditional mortar bedding is still the most widely used fixing method in England and Wales, compared to Scotland where currently 80% of all verges are mechanically fixed. However, the increased incidence of storms over the last few years has clearly highlighted the unreliability of mortar to secure the tiles. The switch to dry verge is gathering momentum every year. With all the advantages it is not difficult to see why.
British standards state that no reliance should be placed on the shear strength of mortar used in the filling and bedding. Mortar will eventually crack. In contrast, Redland Dry Verges are mechanically fixed and each unit individually screwed, with the next unit interlocking. This gives extra strength and hides the screws offering the maximum protection against strong wind and water penetration. This in turn gives you long term protection with a neat, attractive appearance, and with none of the ongoing costs associated with mortar.
