Fitted on rooftops with graceful allure, the steel spitfire weathervane embodies a striking manifestation of aviation inspired artistry. Its resplendent form, a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, elevates rooftops into realms of distinctive grandeur. Serving not merely as an ornate embellishment but as a functional arbiter of the wind’s direction, the spitfire gracefully soars, revealing the subtle secrets of the breeze.

The pinnacle of this weathervane is adorned with a splendid and distinctive finial decoration, integrating with the roofscape. Beyond its aesthetic charm, this weathervane boasts practical prowess. The default terracotta colour of the ridge tile fitting adds a touch of classic elegance, though alternative colours and finishes await those seeking bespoke allure.

Dimensions unfold as poetry in steel: an overall height of 38" (97cm) stands proudly, with a ridge base of 45 degrees, spanning 12" (296mm) in length and 9" (225mm) in width. The prospect of puncturing holes and affixing brackets to the roof, a hesitant dilemma for guardians of imperviousness to rainwater, finds solace in the weathervane's installation simplicity. Settling upon the roof with mortar, this spitfire weathervane unveils a straightforward installation path.

For the discerning installer, an optional mechanical fixing mechanism emerges, a robust metal strap, adaptable and easily tailored to the roof's contours. With discreet finesse, the installer fastens the strap, concealing it beneath the ridge base during the traditional mortar bed application, thus preserving the weathervane's seamless aesthetic. From gable ends to hip ends, houses to cottages, sheds to workshops, and even the serene sanctuaries of gardens, this weathervane finds its place, transcending the ordinary. A symbol of architectural refinement, it stands as the epitome of distinctive ornamentation, an artful testament to the marriage of form and function on the rooftop canvas.
