The verge tile is an edge tile with pressed, vertical side lobes to cover the gable edges at right angles to roof surfaces. Clay verges provide a clean, weathertight roof closure. Since the verges have the same gauge as normal clay roof tiles, they are particularly easy to install.

 

A roof verge is the part of the roof where the tiles end, where the roof meets the gable. Traditionally, a roof verge is fixed with mortar to create a waterproof and weatherproof finish.
