Product Overview & Specifications

Dry Hip Trays (also known as Hip Support Trays) are designed to provide a consistent, level platform along the hip line of a roof, eliminating the need for traditional mortar bedding. This not only speeds up installation but also enhances long-term weather resistance, making them a reliable choice for today’s modern roofing systems.

Installation Guidelines

  1. Prepare the roof: Ensure the roof is lathed, and hip and ridge battens are fixed into the hip rafters using screws.
  2. Roll out the ridge underlay: Fix the dry ridge roll-out system in place using corrosion-resistant nails.
  3. Install the hip trays:
    1. Begin at the eaves and work upward.
    2. Each tray should overlap the one below by a minimum of 150mm to ensure full coverage and water runoff.
    3. Secure each tray into the hip batten using stainless-steel nails.
    4. Trays may be cut to length if needed using a suitable cutting tool. We recommend using appropriate PPE and a fine-tooth saw or plastic cutting tool rather than a utility knife for safety.

Always consult the roof tile manufacturer’s guidance to ensure full system compatibility.
