Banner weathervane mounted on a square roof tile capping finial
- Description
Adorning rooftops with an exquisite touch, behold the allure of this verdigris finished copper banner weathervane, a captivating rooftop embellishment mounted on a square ridge tile. This functional and ornamental masterpiece stands at an impressive 32 inches (83cm) in height, anchored by a 12 inches by 12 inches (30cm by 30cm) square ridge base, itself towering at 11 inches (28cm).
The square ridge tile, in its standard terracotta colour, promises a seamless installation, providing both a secure and visually pleasing foundation. While the weathervane's rotating banner whimsically indicates the wind's direction, the square ridge base finds its stability through mortar fastening, eliminating the need for intrusive brackets or holes that may compromise the roof's structural integrity.
Designed for versatility, this banner weathervane graces square, double hip, pyramid, tower, and flat roofs alike. Its ingenuity lies not only in its aesthetic contribution but also in the ease of setup, shunning concerns of leaks or weakened structures. The included metal strap, ingeniously concealed beneath the mortar, offers a multitude of fixing options, screws, nails, or integration with existing roof elements, ensuring stability without sacrificing architectural integrity.
More than a mere garden embellishment, these banner ridge weathervanes elevate roofs into canvases of artistic expression. Their adaptability and ease of installation make them a charming addition to diverse roof styles, turning functional wind indicators into captivating design features that beckon eyes skyward.
- Brackets & Fixings
This weathervane finial can insalled in the following ways:
Mortar bedding:
The traditional installation method is to bed the finial onto the roof using mortar, in the same way as ridge tiles are fitted. For larger or heavier finials, additional mechanical fixing can be used for extra stability.
Mechanical strap fixing with mortar:
Many finials are supplied with a concealed galvanised metal fixing strap secured beneath the ridge base. The adjustable strap can be cut to length and fixed to the roof structure using screws, nails or mortar. Once installed, the strap is hidden beneath the mortar bedding, leaving a clean and seamless finish.
Dry fixing systems:
Some roofs use dry fix systems that secure ridge tiles and finials without mortar. These systems typically use brackets or mechanical fixings. If you are using a dry ridge system, please contact us to confirm whether your chosen finial can be adapted for compatibility.
