Danelaw® manufactures and supplies a range of dry fix ridge and hip systems compatible with slates and tiles.
Current Standards for slating and tiling require that ridge and hip tiles are mechanically fixed. It is also important, as outlined by BS 5250 and BS 8612, that condensation in the roof space is minimised and the function of the ridge and hip systems perform to a minimum standard. These requirements are met with all Danelaw dry fix ventilated ridge and hip systems.
Offering excellent alternatives to mortar bedding, the Danelaw hip and ridge systems provide secure fixing against the most adverse weather conditions while ensuring adequate ventilation of the roof.
The newest addition to the range is the innovative alternative to the traditional lead, zinc, or galvanised steel roll top ridge systems, the SwiftRidg®. Suitable for slates and plain tiles, the SwiftRidg® is tested to withstand wind speeds in excess of 110mph and offers simple, quick and reliable installation. The SwiftRidg®+ kit includes a corrugated vent roll, providing discreet ventilation at ridge level when required.
Alongside SwiftRidg®, Danelaw also manufacture the CON6+ Dry Fix Ventilating Ridge & Hip System, which can be used with all common ridge and hip tile types. They also manufacture the CLAY6+ Dry Fix Ridge & Hip System, this is designed to suit common clay and baby ridge tiles both providing the required airflow area for ridge ventilation. The final product in the comprehensive ridge and hip range is the MONO6+ Dry Fix Ventilating Ridge System, a practical solution for mono pitch roofing that has seen a return in favour in recent times.
