  • Description

    Introducing the exquisite copper golfer weathervane, a refined addition to your roof's aesthetic appeal. This ornate weathervane finial is elegantly crafted, perched upon a terracotta ridge tile base, designed to elevate both the visual charm and functional utility of your roof.

    The golfer weathervane serves as a whimsical rooftop accent and a practical weather gauge, responding to the wind direction. Its copper finish adds a touch of sophistication to your rooftop, effortlessly complementing the standard terracotta colour of the ridge tile fitting. For those with a penchant for variety, we offer a diverse range of weathervane designs, colours and finishes to suit your individual taste.

    Standing at an impressive height of 86cm (33.6 inches), with a ridge base measuring 12 inches (296 mm) in length and 9 inches (225 mm) in width, set at a graceful 45 degree angle, this weathervane exudes both stature and charm.

    But what sets the golfer weathervane apart from traditional brackets? Installation is a breeze without the need to puncture your roof or employ cumbersome brackets. The ridge fitting seamlessly affixes to your roof using mortar, ensuring a secure and elegant placement. Additionally, the included metal strap offers a robust mechanical fixation option, easily attaching to your roof by means of screwing or nailing into the meticulously predrilled holes within its design. During the traditional mortar based installation of the ridge base, the metal strap discreetly hides ensuring a neat install

    Versatility is the hallmark of the golfer weathervanes, capable of adorning various architectural styles, including gable ends, hip ends, flat roofs, dormers, and more. Their adaptability extends beyond rooftops, making them perfect for enhancing your garden's decor. With its intricate design and captivating aesthetics, this weathervane effortlessly transforms your rooftop into an enchanting focal point, leaving an indelible mark on anyone who gazes upon it.

  • 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.
