The Rooftec 6m Universal Dry Ridge Fixing System provides a complete mechanically fixed solution for securing and ventilating ridge tiles without the need for traditional mortar. Designed for pitched roofing applications, the system creates a secure, weather-resistant ridge while providing continuous ventilation to help manage moisture and condensation within the roof space.
Supplied with a 320mm wide ventilated ridge roll, the system provides excellent coverage across a wide range of roof pitches. Self-adhesive butyl strips help create a secure, watertight seal against the roof covering, while the ridge unions, stainless steel clamping plates and fixing screws mechanically secure the ridge tiles in position.

Unlike traditional mortar bedding, the Rooftec Dry Ridge System mechanically secures the ridge tiles using purpose-designed unions, clamping plates and stainless steel screws. This removes reliance on mortar, helping reduce the risk of cracking and deterioration while also allowing installation without wet trades.
The ventilated ridge roll provides continuous airflow along the ridge line while remaining vapour permeable. Once positioned over the ridge, the self-adhesive butyl strips form a seal against the roof covering, helping protect against wind-driven rain while allowing the roof to ventilate.
Standards Compliance:
The Rooftec Universal Dry Ridge Fixing System is designed to comply with BS 5534, BS 5250 and BS 8612 requirements for pitched roofing, ventilation and dry-fixed ridge systems.
Always install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and the requirements of the individual roofing system.
