Introduction

Applewhaite Homes has created an elegant collection of 3- and 4-bedroom detached homes in Eccleshill, Blackburn, a location in the North West of the UK known for its high winds and frequent rainfall.

One of the key challenges faced by both the Applewhaite Homes team and roofing contractor R.L. Lovatt was addressing the issue of the exposed roof verge. Traditional methods often led to water ingress, making them unsuitable for this environment. In addition, the developer sought to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the homes by finding a solution that was both functional and visually appealing.

To meet these needs, the building contractor required a dry verge system that would not only protect the structures but also blend seamlessly with the surrounding environment, all the while withstanding the regions demanding weather conditions.

To solve the various issue and requirements the customer wanted solved it was agreed that the Kytun Performance Plus Slate Dry Verge Type 2 was to be installed. The Kytun Slate Dry Verge systems create a seamless and clean dry verge detail which aesthetically enhances the finish to gable ends and secures the slate on the roof at the verge.

This weathertight system ensures there is no water penetration, with all rainwater directed to the gutter line which provides a high level of protection for the development.  As well as being weatherproof, strong and durable, our slate dry verge system also comes with a 30-year guarantee.
