What are Dry Ridge Kits?
A dry ridge system uses screws to fix ridge and hip tiles at the top of a roof. Since it does not use mortar, it stays strong and lasts a long time.
It also lets air flow along the ridge, which helps stop condensation. The design keeps rainwater from getting into the roof as well.
Dry ridge systems are not made for flat roofs.
