  • Description

    Elevate your rooftop aesthetics with the timeless charm of the copper verdigris banner weathervane. Featuring a versatile ridge tile fitting that comes in various angles, this weathervane is a captivating addition to any roof, enhancing both its functionality and visual appeal. As the banner elegantly sways in the wind, it serves as a fully functional weathervane, indicating the direction of the breeze. While traditional ridge tiles are the classic terracotta colour, we offer a range of other colours and styles to suit your preferences.

    Curious about the choice of a ridge tile fitting over a traditional bracket? The answer lies in the paramount need to safeguard your roof from water infiltration. Mounting this banner weathervane requires minimal effort and time while ensuring a secure and permanent attachment. The ridge tile fitting can be seamlessly mortared to your roof, eliminating the need for holes or brackets that might compromise your roof's integrity.

    For added stability and installer peace of mind, we provide a robust metal strap that can serve as a mechanical fix fitting. This adjustable strap boasts predrilled holes, simplifying its attachment to the roof using screws, nails, or your preferred fasteners. Once installed, the metal strap discreetly disappears beneath the ridge base, concealed with the mortar bedding used for the ridge fitting. This extra feature not only enhances stability but also ensures a seamless and elegant installation process.

    The banner ridge weathervanes are versatile, suitable for a wide range of roof styles, including gable ends, regular roofs, cottages, sheds, workshops, and even summer homes. Beyond their rooftop functionality, these weathervanes make captivating garden ornaments, adding an artistic touch to your outdoor space. Installing one of these weathervanes is a surefire way to make your home more interesting and uniquely appealing, combining form and function effortlessly.

  • 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.
