Description

This is the special poking tongue wyvern roof finial. It is cheeky and a very popular piece in the range. It is very similar to the wyvern roof finial in the range but its facial features are sculptured differently so that the tongue is more pronounced and poking out!. Some customers have a preference of this piece over the other one or even opt to buy a pair for each opposite end of the roof Like with all of the other roof wyverns and dragon finials it has lifelike features and the wings, claws and scales all feature on the piece and it makes for a great and creative way to decorate the roof

The piece is well suited to the gable end in particular and works best when customers have a roof with a 90 degree pitch and 45 degree angled ridge tiles

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 wyvern: The wyvern 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
