Owl weathervane supplied on a square roof tile capping finial
- Description
Fitted on a square roof tile capping, the steel owl weathervane commands attention with its distinctive and captivating presence. Crafted from robust steel, this avian adornment transcends mere ornamentation, boasting a durability that goes beyond aesthetics. The owl gracefully responds to the whims of the wind, its movements serving as a dynamic and enchanting feature.
The standard terracotta colour of the ridge tile fitting provides a classic touch, though bespoke colour options and finishes are available upon request. The weathervane's square ridge base measures a substantial 12" (30cm) x 12" (30cm) with a height of 11" (28cm), and its towering overall stature stands at an impressive 31.8" (81cm).
Concerns about roof functionality are dispelled, as installing this owl weathervane involves mortar application to affix the square roof tile capping, mirroring the process of ridge tile installation. This meticulous method ensures a steadfast and watertight seal. For added stability, a discreet mechanical fitting, facilitated by an optional metal strap, can secure the weathervane. The adjustable strap, replete with predrilled holes, allows for secure fastening to the roof via screws, nails, or other fasteners. Once the mortar sets for the ridge base, the strap disappears from sight, guaranteeing both security and aesthetic appeal.
Versatile in design, these owl ridge weathervanes adapt to an array of roof shapes and sizes, rendering them ideal for residential and commercial structures alike. Beyond rooftops, their adaptability extends to garden use, transforming outdoor spaces into showcases of intricate design. Elevate your home's allure with this distinctive weathervane, a harmonious blend of functionality and artistic charm.
- 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.
