What I noticed
IronRidge XR100 is heavier-duty than K2 and better suited to exposed coastal or highland sites. The XR100 rail profile is exceptionally stiff, reducing flex in high-wind conditions. More common in North American installs but increasingly available through UK distributors.
Installation notes
Compatible with most standard hook/foot systems. Pair with L-foot roof attachments appropriate for your tile type (flat, interlocking, slate). Order tile-specific hooks separately.
