Cockerel verdigris weathervane supplied on a ridge tile finial fitting with multiple angle options
- Description
Enhance the allure of your rooftop with the captivating copper verdigris cockerel weathervane. This distinctive rooftop adornment boasts a carefully crafted ridge tile fitting, thoughtfully designed to harmonise with a range of roof pitches, integrating into your roof's aesthetic. The copper verdigris finish imparts an artistic flair to your rooftop, capturing the timeless essence of classic weathervanes. Beyond its visual appeal, this functional weathervane gracefully turns with the wind, elegantly indicating the prevailing breeze.
Opting for a ridge tile fitting, as opposed to a conventional bracket, is a deliberate choice. This design streamlines installation, offering protection against potential water infiltration without the challenges associated with traditional brackets and roof modifications. The straightforward assembly involves securing the ridge tile fitting with mortar, eliminating the need for intrusive holes or brackets. For additional assurance, an optional mechanical fix in the form of a robust metal strap is available. Featuring predrilled holes, this strap securely fastens to the roof using screws, nails, or anchors of your preference. Once installed, the discreet metal strap vanishes beneath the ridge base, concealed by traditional mortar bedding, ensuring stability and instilling confidence in homeowners.
Versatility defines the cockerel ridge weathervanes, suitable for an array of roof types, including gable ends, houses, buildings, cottages, sheds, workshops, and summer houses. Beyond rooftops, these weathervanes double as exquisite garden decorations. Elevate both your roof's aesthetics and the ambiance of your surroundings with the ornate design of this weathervane, blending form and function.

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.
