			<![CDATA[I'm about to start the detailing of the gable ends of my new slate roof and was wondering if I should use traditional concrete verge cloaking boards or the latest plastic offerings. Also has anyone got any links to current best practice around gable end verges?]]>

			<![CDATA[Do not under any circumstances use undercloaks.<br /><br />Better off without them. Cloaks from powder coated Ali would work well.<br /><br />I like it when the bottom of the slat is cut off 75mm at 45 degrees to help throw rainwater towards the body of the roof.<br /><br />If you have barge boards ten definitely cloakers.]]>

			<![CDATA[I wanted the aluminium ones, merchant supplied the plastic ones, roofer coming the next day and nobody had the ali ones on hand locally so we've the plastic ones.  Annoys me still, but looks ok.  I would imagine the ali would look very good though.  Only point I will make is that with our stone skin finish, we needed to point in the lower edge against the stone where the variations in the stone left a a finish that might have allowed insect ingress.
