Sailboat verdigris weathervane on a ridge tile finial fitting with multiple angle options
- Description
Enhance the allure of your rooftop with the copper verdigris sailboat weathervane, a meticulously crafted pinnacle poised on a ridge tile fitting that bestows a distinctive and elegant final flourish to your roofscape. This operational weathervane features a gracefully pivoting sailboat figure, not only adding a touch of whimsy but also adeptly indicating the wind's direction. Beyond the customary terracotta colour of the ridge tile, a spectrum of alternative colours and styles is at your disposal to harmonise with the aesthetic palette of your roof.
Choosing the sailboat weathervane with ridge tile integration offers a superior alternative to conventional bracket mounted options. The conventional brackets pose potential risks to roof waterproofing integrity due to necessitated drilling and attachment points on or within the roof structure. In contrast, the sailboat weathervane ensures a low hassle installation process. The ridge tile fitting securely attaches to the roof using mortar, forming a robust and watertight seal. A flexible mechanical fix, embodied in an adjustable metal strap with multiple mounting holes, provides a secure fastening with screws, nails, or other fasteners, disappearing from view as the ridge settles during installation.
These sailboat ridge weathervanes exhibit adaptability, suitable for installation on diverse roof types, encompassing gable ends, houses, buildings, cottages, sheds, workshops, and summer houses. Furthermore, they serve as enchanting ornamental additions to gardens, imparting captivating features and intricate design elements to your outdoor sanctuary. Elect the sailboat weathervane to enrich your rooftop aesthetics, articulating a stylish statement.

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.
