The Dry Hip System provides a neat and attractive finish to the hip line without the use of mortar. The hip tiles are secured to the appropriate size hip batten, using stainless steel wood screws which give exceptional resistance to wind uplift. The system may be fixed in all weathers and is maintenance-free.
