Owl weathervane fixed on a 45 degree ridge tile finial
- Description
Fitted majestically atop a double arch ridge tile, this steel owl weathervane embodies an exquisite fusion of form and function. Elevating the aesthetic allure of any roof, the ornate steel craftsmanship transforms it into a captivating focal point. Crafted with precision from resilient steel, this owl finial stands as a testament to artistic finesse, promising a metamorphosis of the roof's appearance.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this owl weathervane seamlessly marries beauty and functionality. A fully operational design allows the owl to pivot gracefully in response to the wind's direction, providing a charming indicator of the prevailing breeze. The ridge tile fitting, available in a standard terracotta colour can also be done in other colour finishes.
Impressively towering at 38" (97cm), this weathervane is tailored for a double arch ridge tile fitting, featuring a 45 degree angle tile base measuring 12" (296mm) in length and 9" (225mm) in width.
Choosing this weathervane over bracket mounted alternatives is a decision rooted in practicality. Concerns about compromising a watertight roofing system often deter installers from bracket installations. In contrast, the installation process for this owl weathervane is straightforward and low hassle. The ridge base seamlessly integrates into the roof using mortar, ensuring a secure and stable attachment. For added convenience, an optional mechanical fix fitting in the form of a customisable metal strap is available. This strap, featuring pre drilled holes, can be affixed to the roof using screws or nails and later concealed from view when the ridge base is installed with traditional mortar.
Versatility defines these owl ridge weathervanes, suitable for various roof types, gable ends, hip ends, houses, cottages, sheds, workshops, and even summer houses. Beyond roofing, this weathervane finds a second home as an ornamental feature in garden landscapes, infusing rooftops and outdoor spaces with intricate detailing and captivating charm. It stands as an ideal choice for those seeking to elevate their surroundings with a touch of enduring allure.
- 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.
