What is the "verge"?
The verge is the edge or border of a roof that extends beyond the outer wall of a building. It is often where the roof meets the end wall, providing a finished and protected edge to the roof structure. The verge helps prevent water from entering the building by directing rain away from the walls and foundation. It also adds to the roof's aesthetic by giving it a clean, defined line. Typically, the verge is covered with materials like tiles or metal to ensure durability and protection from the elements.
