Description
Elevate the sophistication of your residence with the resplendent copper verdigris eagle weathervane, gracing your rooftop in majestic splendor. Resting upon a versatile ridge tile fitting, this ornate adornment accommodates various roof pitches, allowing you to tailor its angle to your aesthetic inclinations. Beyond its aesthetic allure, this copper verdigris weathervane serves not only as a visual feast but also as an engaging conversation catalyst.
Operational excellence defines this weathervane. The regal eagle, with its graceful dance in response to the wind, becomes a trustworthy meteorological indicator. The standard terracotta coloured ridge tile fitting, while retaining a classic charm, can be personalised with an array of colours and finishes to align with your individual taste.
Wondering about the rationale behind the ridge tile fitting instead of a conventional bracket? The answer lies in preserving your roof's waterproof integrity. Negating the challenges posed by traditional brackets, which involve intrusive drilling, the eagle weathervane simplifies the installation process. Affixing the ridge tile fitting to your roof requires only mortar, ensuring a secure attachment without compromising structural integrity. For added ease and installer assurance, an optional mechanical fix fitting, a robust metal strap, is provided. This versatile strap, easily tailored to your needs, discreetly disappears beneath the ridge base during installation, enhancing stability and ensuring a seamless and elegant mounting process.
Versatility characterises these copper eagle ridge weathervanes, suitable for various structures, from gable ends to cottages and gardens. Beyond their rooftop utility, these weathervanes serve as exquisite garden ornaments, infusing your outdoor spaces with captivating details. Experience the harmonious fusion of form and function, enriching your surroundings with unparalleled charm and elegance.

Brackets & Fixings
There are various methods for installing weathervane finials:
Traditional mortar bedding
Weathervane finials can be installed using the same process employed for ridge tiles, using standard mortar bedding. If the weathervane finial is tall, heavy, or requires enhanced stability, a supplementary mechanical fixing method can be utilised in conjunction with the mortar bed installation.
Mechanical fixing strap and mortar bedding
In this installation method, a galvanized metal strap is discreetly attached 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. Equipped with 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 hide it from view by applying traditional mortar bed resulting in a seamless and tidy appearance.
Dry fixing
An alternative method for affixing finials to the roof is the dry fixing approach. 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 contact us to determine if this weathervane finial design can be adapted to be compatible with your chosen system.
