  • Description

    The Copper Verdigris Motorbike Weathervane is a colourful, ornate, and easy-to-install addition to your roof. This weathervane is made of beautiful copper verdigris and adds a touch of beauty and uniqueness to any roof. The motorbike turns smoothly in the wind, which shows where the wind is blowing

    This weathervane is made to be put on top of a round ridge tile capping, which is a beautiful way to finish off your roof. The usual colour for the ridge tile fitting is terracotta, but we also have many other colours and finishes to choose from.

    Measurements:

    Height all together: 25.6" (65cm)
    Ridge Base: Round, 12" (30cm) in diameter, 10" (24cm) high

    Why bother with putting up a weathervane with brackets? We know how important it is to keep a roof from leaking, and the thought of drilling holes or putting brackets on the roof can stop workers from doing their jobs. Because of this, setting up the motorbike weathervane is easy and straightforward. The round ridge tile capping, is easy to put on the roof using mortar in the traditional way. This makes for a simple and easy installation.

    In addition to installing with mortar, we also offer a metal strap for a mechanical fix. This strong, bendable strap can be taken out of its coil and cut to the size you want. It has a number of holes that can be used to secure it with screws, nails, or by attaching it to a part of the roof.

    Once the metal strap is securely attached, it can be hidden using standard mortar bed methods. Our motorbike ridge weathervanes can be put on different kinds of roofs, like turrets, towers, flat roofs, round roofs, and circle roofs. Also, they can be used for more than just roofs. They can also be used in the garden to create a decorative display

    This motorbike weathervane is easy to put up and can be put in many different places. It looks great on any roof and tells you where the wind is coming from

  • 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.
