Transport

Shipped by express carrier (TNT) with a tracking number sent to you by email. Weathervanes and finials are packed in reinforced crates. On delivery, check the parcel in the presence of the driver and note any reservations on the delivery note; let us know within 48 hours in the event of damage and we will take care of the replacement.

Installation

Weathervane

The weathervane mounts on a roof finial (or directly on a rod). The finial is fixed to the roof ridge by its Ø 12 mm mounting rod, screwed into the ridge purlin or the timber frame. Orient the cardinal points with a compass (N pointing north); the weathervane turns freely and shows where the wind is coming from.

Roof finial and pinnacle

The base of the finial is soldered or screwed onto the zinc ridge; on a tiled or slate roof, the roofer forms a weatherproof collar. Tall models (over 1 m) must be guyed or fixed on a long rod.

Decorative ridge cresting

Sold per metre, the cresting sits over the existing ridge and is fixed by soldering (zinc/copper) or with fixing clips. Corners and joints are made on site during installation.

Lambrequin

The lambrequin is fixed to the fascia board, the edge of the awning or the canopy with stainless-steel screws (wood, PVC) or rivets/screws (zinc). The 99 cm sections sit side by side; we make lengths to measure.

Our advice: for any work at height, and to guarantee a watertight roof, have the installation done by a roofer. We can pass on the dimensions and fixing instructions, and we are happy to answer their questions on +33 6 71 26 37 92.
