6m Integrated Dry Fix Ridge Kit – Black
Complete Mortar-Free Mechanical Ridge Fixing & Ventilation System
The 6m Integrated Dry Fix Ridge Kit provides a convenient all-in-one mechanical fixing solution for installing ridge tiles without the need for traditional mortar. Designed for both new-build and retrofit roofing projects, the kit provides a secure, weather-resistant and ventilated ridge installation with everything required supplied in one pack.
Suitable for most slate, concrete and clay roof tiles, the system can be used with both round and angled ridge tiles up to 18mm thick. It is suitable for most pitched roofs between 15° and 55°, providing a versatile solution for a wide range of domestic and commercial roofing projects.
The system uses a water-resistant yet air-permeable ridge roll membrane, incorporating strong, malleable and corrosion-resistant aluminium flashing with a self-adhesive backing. This allows the roll to follow the contours of the roof tiles, helping provide effective weather protection while maintaining essential roof ventilation.
Providing 5000mm²/m of ridge ventilation, equivalent to a 5mm continuous opening, the system helps support roof-space airflow and condensation control. The 55mm wide ridge unions provide additional water-bar protection, while integrated clips securely accommodate ridge tiles up to 18mm thick.
Key Features
Unlike traditional mortar bedding, the dry-fix system isn't affected in the same way by building settlement or mortar deterioration. The mechanical installation provides a long-lasting, reliable and virtually maintenance-free ridge, while allowing installation in a wider range of wet and cold weather conditions.
The kit incorporates UV-protected, colour-fast polypropylene ridge unions, galvanised steel ridge batten straps, stainless steel screws and clamping plates, providing durable components for long-term roof performance. The system also helps prevent larger insects, birds and vermin from entering the roofline while maintaining a consistently smart finished appearance.

Available in Black, the 6m Integrated Dry Fix Ridge Kit provides roofers and installers with a fast, clean and practical alternative to traditional mortar-fixed ridge installations, combining secure mechanical fixing, weather protection and effective roof ventilation in one complete system.
