MORTAR BEDDING
Bedding of hips
As per bedding of ridges in 10 easy steps)
Bed into position a hip starter. Temporarily bed a ridge at the apex of the hip. Run a levelling line between the hip starter and the top ridge. Proceed to bed ridges from the hip starter to the apex, keeping to the line.
Bedding of mono ridges
The same recommendations as for ridges in 10 easy steps apply.
Bedding of tapered ridge
The same recommendations as for ridges apply with the exception that the overlapping joints are caulked and not solidly bedded.
Dry ridge system
Where possible, a dry ridge system is preferable to bedded ridges. On pitches of 40° and above, the 90° Barge tile is recommended for use as a ridge and hip tile.
