The dry verge starter cap is an essential component used at the beginning of a dry verge system to provide a secure and weather resistant starting point along the roof edge. It ensures the verge system is correctly anchored at the eaves, helping to create a neat and professional roofline finish.
Manufactured from durable uPVC, the starter cap is designed for long term external use and provides reliable protection against wind, rain and general weather exposure.

Performance & Durability
The dry verge starter cap is designed to improve the long term performance of roof edge systems by providing a secure base for verge components. This helps reduce movement caused by wind uplift and ensures a consistent, weather resistant finish along the roofline.
Manufactured from UV stable uPVC, it will not rot, rust or degrade over time, making it a reliable alternative to traditional mortar bedding which can crack and deteriorate in harsh weather conditions. Dry verge systems are widely used across the UK as a low maintenance roofing solution.
Installation
The starter cap is fitted at the beginning of a dry verge run, typically at the eaves, and acts as the base component for subsequent verge units. It is mechanically fixed in place and aligned to ensure correct positioning of the system above.
Installation is quick and can be carried out without mortar or specialist tools, making it suitable for both new build roofing projects and refurbishment work. It provides a reliable starting point that ensures the rest of the system fits securely and evenly.
