Description
Enhance your rooftop allure with the versatile hunting gun weathervane, meticulously crafted to blend into your roofline through an ingenious ridge tile fitting system. Unlike traditional brackets that necessitate drilling, potentially compromising your roof's waterproofing, the weathervane installation is a seamless experience. The adaptable ridge tile fitting provides an array of angle options catering to diverse roof pitches, enabling you to customise the perfect alignment for your specific roofing requirements.

Why choose the ridge tile fitting method over conventional brackets? The answer lies in the simplicity and resilience of the design. Our ridge tile fitting accommodates the weathervane, securely attaching to your roof with standard mortar application.

Whether gracing the gable end of your home, adorning the roofline of a cottage, or enhancing an outdoor garden setting, this weathervane stands as a striking decorative element that not only adds character but also serves as a functional wind indicator.

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.
