  • Description

    Elevate your rooftop aesthetics with the timeless elegance of the copper verdigris angel weathervane. Designed with a unique ridge tile fitting that comes in a different variation angles, this weathervane allows you to select the perfect angle to harmonize with your roof's pitch. Beyond its functionality as a weather indicator, this copper verdigris weathervane is a stunning addition to enhance your roof's curb appeal, exuding grace and charm.

    The angel weathervane's beauty is not just skin deep, it also performs admirably, gracefully pivoting to showcase the wind's direction. While the standard ridge tile fittings boast a classic terracotta hue that complements the copper verdigris finish, we are pleased to offer other colours and finishes, ensuring a great integration with your roof's aesthetics.

    Traditional brackets often require roof modifications that may compromise integrity or invlolve hassle, but the angel weathervane simplifies this installation process. Securing the ridge tile fitting to your roof is effortless with mortar, offering a good and strong fit. We also provide a sturdy, adjustable metal strap for mechanical fixing. This versatile strap can be tailored to your needs, fastened with screws, nails, or even the roof structure itself. Once concealed beneath the ridge base, the metal strap remains hidden as the traditional mortar bed provides stability and peace of mind for installers.

    The angel ridge weathervanes are suitable for a wide range of roof types, including gable ends, houses, buildings, cottages, sheds, workshops, and summer houses. They can also double as decorative garden features, enhancing your outdoor space's overall allure. Invite this exquisite weathervane to adorn your rooftop, where it will infuse a touch of sophistication and serve as a captivating focal point, truly embodying the perfect blend of form and function.

  • How to fit and install

    There are several ways to install roof finials, as outlined below:

    Traditional mortar bedding:

    Roof finials can be installed following the same method used for ridge tiles, utilising standard mortar bedding. In cases where the finial is tall or heavy, or if enhanced stability is desired, an additional mechanical fix method can be employed alongside the mortar bed installation.

    Mechanical fixing strap and mortar bedding:

    For this type of install, a galvanized metal strap is included, discreetly fastened to the underside of the finial ridge base during manufacturing. This durable and flexible metal strap can be adjusted in length by cutting it down to size. Featuring a series of holes, the strap can be screwed, nailed, or embedded in mortar to anchor it to a section of the roof structure. After securing the metal strap, installers can conceal it from sight by applying traditional mortar bed. The mortar used to join the finial with adjacent ridge tiles effectively conceals the strap, resulting in a seamless and neat appearance.

    Dry fixing:

    Another approach to affixing finials to the roof involves the dry fixing method. This technique involves using a specific manufacturer's dry fixing system, typically incorporating brackets or alternative mechanical fasteners to attach ridge tiles and finials to the roof without the use of mortar. If you are considering a dry fix ridge system, please get in touch with us to determine if this finial design can be adapted to be compatible with your chosen system.
