Description
Behold the copper verdigris golfer weathervane, a captivating masterpiece poised to elevate the aesthetic allure of any roof. Crafted from copper and adorned with an exquisite verdigris finish, this ornate weathervane assumes the form of a graceful golfer. Beyond its decorative prowess, it fulfills a practical function by indicating the wind's direction as the golfer elegantly turns with the breeze.
Mounted upon a circular ridge tile capping, this weathervane stands at an impressive 36.5 inches (93 cm) in height, offering a substantial presence. The spherical ridge base, measuring 12 inches (30 cm) in diameter and standing 10 inches (24 cm) tall, ensures a secure and stable installation.
Ensuring simplicity in installation without compromising on structural integrity, this golfer weathervane eliminates the need for drilling holes or intricate bracket connections. The round ridge tile capping integrates with the roof using standard mortar, guaranteeing a seamless and facile process. Alternatively, an adaptable mechanical fix presents itself in the form of a malleable metal strap, easily unwound and tailored to size. Featuring multiple holes, this robust strap securely fastens to the roof using screws, nails, or other fixings.
Ingeniously designed to maintain aesthetic appeal, the smart design conceals the metal strap beneath a standard mortar bed. This versatile installation method allows the golfer ridge weathervane to grace turrets, towers, flat roofs, round roofs, and even circular structures. Beyond its rooftop application, this enchanting piece finds a second home in gardens, where it adds a touch of decorative charm.
The copper verdigris golfer weathervane combines ease of installation with captivating aesthetics, promising not only to enhance your roof's visual allure but also to provide a practical wind direction feature that is both functional and charming.
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.
