The Manthorpe Roll-Out Dry Hip system is a quick, clean way of fixing hip tiles, thereby doing away with messy, labour intensive mortar techniques. The easy fit mechanical fixings prevent tiles from lifting in high winds and stop driven rain from getting in beneath the roofing. First, a length of Vent Roll is fixed along the hip and smoothed out over the existing roofing tile profile. The Hip Tray is then fitted above and secured with screws or nails to provide a straight and level platform for laying tiles along the length of the hip. With the eaves tile in place at the base of the hip the Manthorpe Union piece can be fitted. A hip tile is then slotted into the union piece one course above and locked into place with the mechanical fixing. This process is repeated to the top of the hip, where a tile is mitred and fixed in the traditional manner. One box supplies enough components for a 6m hip length Compatible with most makes of concrete and clay hip tiles Can be fitted to the hip of most roof pitches (pitches must be within tile manufacturers recommendations for the tile type being used) The system is compatible with most slate, concrete flat and profiled tiles Provides a 5,000mm/m ventilation into the roof space Quick and easy to fix with no special tool requirements Can be used with Manthorpes Roll-Out Dry Ridge System No need for mortar, the system can be installed in all weathers and is UV stabilised.
