What Is a Dry Ridge System?

A dry ridge system uses screws to secure ridge and hip tiles along the top of a roof. Because the tiles are fixed without mortar, the system is strong and durable.
These systems also provide a continuous airflow along the ridge. This helps prevent condensation. The system is also designed to stop rainwater from getting into the roof.
Dry ridge systems are not suitable for flat roofs.
