Description
This winged roof gargoyle will add a stunning feature and focal point to the roof. The finial has interesting and intricate architectural detail with the wings, body and facial features nicely defined. The gargoyle comes on a versatile half round style ridge tile
Gargoyles and grotesques were once used as an ornamental and functional means of draining water from roofs and the water commonly would exit via the mouth. The architecture of buildings has changed but gargoyles and grotesque are appreciated because of their sculptural qualities and in folklore they are said to ward off evil spirits

Performance & Quality: All products are certified and tested to BS EN 490:2004 & BS EN 491:2004. The product is freeze\thaw resistant and the default finish is similar to the appearance of clay products
Installing the gargoyle: The gargoyle can be installed anywhere on the roof along the ridge line but typically they are installed on the end of a gable or hip end. If there are existing ridge tiles on the roof a ridge tile can be removed and the finial can be fitted in place with mortar to bed them in
Mechanical Fixing (Optional): Finials include a flexible metal strap on the underside of the ridge tile section out of view which allows optional mechanical fixing so the finial can be fixed to the roof structure with either a nail or screw and then the mortar bed then hides the metal strap and further strengthens the install. The metal strap is strong, flexible and can be uncoiled and cut to size
