Dry Verge System – Uni-Click Fitting Instructions

1. Extend the tiling battens 30mm over the gable wall or bargeboard. Fix each verge unit using a minimum 40 x 3.35mm ring shank nail. Do not use smooth nails. Alternatively, use stainless steel screws. Ensure the batten ends are in good condition with no signs of decay or splitting.

2. Fix the Eaves Closure to the end of the fascia board or brickwork.

3. Fit the first verge section ensuring that it is located onto the eaves closer.

4. Once in position, nail or screw into the batten.

5. Clip the bottom of the verge unit in place first, then lift the top of the verge unit over and clip into place. As illustrated in stages 5,5a and 5b.

8. Screw fix the Ridge End Cap to the ridge batten.

Storage
Ensure Verge units are not subjected to pressure once they have been removed from the carton e.g. by placing a heavy object on top of the units. This may lead to the units becoming distorted, particularly when stored in a hot location e.g. inside of van.

Retro Fit

If dry verge units are to be fitted to existing buildings all of the old undercloak and mortar bedding should be removed prior to fixing. A timber batten can then be installed running from the eave to ridge, this batten should protrude 30mm over the barge board or brick work/render for the units to fix into (as per step 1a).

Timber Frame

If verge units are to be fitted to timber frame buildings prior to the outer weather covering being applied care should be taken for them to be positioned correctly so when the outer skin of the building is installed the verge units fit correctly and are not in the way of the top of the covering and the gap between the verge unit and the outer skin is maintained. This product should not be installed prior to the outer covering being installed if the eaves closer cannot be fixed.
