RAKE VERGE
The Rake Verge system provides a neat maintenance-free finish to the verge of a tiled roof and eliminates the need for barge boards.
Easy installation
The Rake Verge system has been designed to facilitate easy installation as it is a versatile product that can be used on variable batten gauges on both sides of the roof.
Compatible with all Coverland & Kulu profiles
The Rake Verge system is compatible with all Coverland & Kulu profiles. Together, they provide a uniform, attractive overall finish to any pitched roof.
Cost-effectiveness
The Rake Verge system is the most cost-effective system available today. Aesthetically pleasing, the Rake Verge system provides a beautiful finish to any pitched roof.
Technical data
Tapered fitting
• Mass of ±5,4kg per unit
• Length 420mm
• Linear coverage = ±320mm per unit dependent on batten gauge
• Profiled Tiles:
38 x 38mm Tiling batten = 38 x 50mm Verge counter batten
• Flat Tiles:
38 x 38mm Tiling batten
= 38 x 76mm Verge
counter batten
• Variable overlap
Rake Verge tiles are fixed using non-corrodable fasteners. Mortar bedding is only used at the ridge joint and the tiles at this junction should be mitred on site for correct location and finish.
Verge counter batten to be fixed as per the following examples: (in all cases ± 30 mm from the edge of the tile to the outer edge of the verge batten must be allowed.)
Example 1
Castillian, Cupola, Double Roman, Taunus and Renown: Top of verge counter batten flush with the top of the tile battens (in all cases ±30mm from the edge of tile to outer edge of the verge batten.)
Example 2
Elite: Top of verge counter batten flush with the top of tile battens (38 x 76mm verge counter batten is to be used.)
Rake Verge Installation Procedure
As with standard tiling practice, begin at the eave of the roof.
Step 1
In order to obtain a straight line along the eave, the first rake verge tile needs a dummy spacing. This is obtained by driving two nails, one underneath the other, into the end batten as close to the edge as possible so that they protrude ±25mm. Where fascia boards are used, cut fascia to allow ±25mm protrusion beyond the batten to support the first rake verge.
Step 2
Place the first rake verge on the first course of tiles and slide upwards, so that the tapered end of the verge tile butts up against the second course of tiles. Mark off the desired overhang on the front of the rake verge tile and cut off. Replace the verge tile and fix in position.
Step 3
Now continue along the verge by placing each rake verge butting up against each course of tiles and overlapping each preceding verge tile until you reach the ridge line. Do the adjacent verge, finishing at the ridge.
Step 4
At the apex of the roof the Rake Verges are mitred to form a neat junction with the ridge line. Both the top rakes are bedded in mortar as in the ridge line.
Note
Flat tiles require additional weather proofing. Consult your local branch for information and for other specialist products.
