Sandtoft calls for roofing industry to remember the importance of dry fix systems

Share

Sandtoft, the roofing brand of construction supplier Wienerberger, is calling for the roofing industry to remember the importance of dry fix systems as an alternative to traditional mortar, especially in the current wet weather conditions.

Unlike similar products on the market, the ‘Multiversal Ridge and Hip System’, the innovative dry fix solution of Sandtoft uses a rigid ridge union.

This ridge-to-ridge seal makes it much easier and faster to install than the more common flexible alternative.

The ventilated system is based on the sectional shape of all commonly used UK ridge profiles, so it can fit most concrete and clay ridge tiles and hips.

The system is ideal for merchants as it is supplied in a single box containing the ridge unions, ridge/hip roll, batten fixing brackets and fixing plates with screws.

Hip trays and top and tail clips are sold separately

Richard Bishop, Category Marketing Manager at Sandtoft said:

“As highlighted by the NHBC, the cost of returning to a job to repair failing mortar bedding is much higher than the cost of installing the ridges and hips in the first place, so dry fix systems are the obvious way forward.Not only are dry fix systems more reliable when installed, they can also be installed during wet weather, meaning that roofing can continue despite the downpours we’ve been experiencing so far this year.The Multiversal ridge and hip system is just one of our range of universal systems, which are not only more reliable than the mortar alternative but are often more cost effective to install.”
