Description
Elevate your roof's aesthetic with the captivating steel stag weathervane, a true masterpiece in both form and function. Standing at an impressive height of 35.3 inches (90cm), this weathervane boasts a circular ridge base, 12 inches (30cm) in diameter and 10 inches (24cm) tall. Its exquisitely ornate design infuses a touch of elegance into any rooftop, transforming it into an alluring finial, a piece of art that doesn't merely adorn but intrigues.
Crafted with the utmost precision, the stag figurine isn't just a decorative piece but serves a practical purpose as well. It pivots gracefully in the wind, indicating the direction of the breeze, combining beauty with utility.
The standard terracotta of the ridge tile fitting is classic, but other colours and finishes are available ensuring it complements your personal style seamlessly. Installation is a breeze. The round ridge tile base seamlessly fits to your roof with mortar, eliminating the need for potentially damaging drilling or braces. For added stability, we provide a robust, pliable metal strap that can be tailored to your requirements, featuring multiple holes for secure attachment to your roof using screws, nails, or suitable fasteners. Once the strap is in place, a layer of traditional mortar conceals it, ensuring a neat install.
Versatile by design, this stag weathervane is suitable for a myriad of applications. From turrets and towers to flat, round, or circular roofs, it can even adorn your garden as an exquisite ornament.
Effortless to install and aesthetically pleasing, the steel stag weathervane is your key to enhancing your roof's style and functionality.
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.
