Cockerel weathervane fitted on a ridge tile finial fitting with multiple angle options
- Description
Transform your rooftop into a captivating spectacle with the enchanting copper cockerel weathervane. Crafted to blend with a variety of roof pitches, this unique finial boasts a bespoke ridge tile fitting, ensuring a perfect fusion with your roof's architectural aesthetic. The lustrous copper finish imparts an artistic touch, encapsulating the enduring allure of traditional weathervanes.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this weathervane is a functional marvel. The cockerel gracefully dances with the wind, elegantly signaling the direction of the breeze. The standard terracotta ridge tile fitting, though classic, is just the beginning. Immerse yourself in a spectrum of colours and finishes, tailoring your choice to match your personal taste.
Curious about the choice of a ridge tile fitting over a conventional bracket? Our aim is to simplify the installation journey. Traditional brackets and roof modifications can be cumbersome, but the weathervane's assembly is refreshingly uncomplicated. Securely affix the ridge tile fitting with mortar, eliminating the need for drilling or brackets. For those desiring an alternative, a robust metal strap is available, predrilled and ready for attachment using screws, nails, or anchors. Once installed, the discreet metal strap disappears beneath the ridge base, concealed by traditional mortar bedding.
Versatility is the hallmark of the cockerel ridge weathervanes, adapting to various roof types and settings, from gable ends to cottages, sheds, and gardens. Elevate your rooftop's allure with this ornate weathervane, fusing aesthetics with functionality.

- 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.
