Rooftop Decor
For a high quality finishing touch for any home, building, barn or garage consider decorating each with a high quality, well crafted weathervane, cupola or finial to add a classic touch that will effectively and decoratively top off any roof. The roof of homes, barns and gazebos are practical areas of the structure that protect everything below but you can also use these sturdy roofs as a platform for the final piece of decorative flair. From Estate and Cottage weathervanes to wood and vinyl cupolas there are a number of terrific rooftop accessories to add a stately and classic touch to your home, garage or barn.
Classic and traditional pure copper and brass weathervanes are a wonderful accessory to any rooftop. Made using rust-free stainless steel and brass assembly rods, copper spacer balls and brass directionals these timely rooftop decor pieces add a lasting finishing touch to a home, garage or barn roof. Depending on the size of your roof you'll want to choose from extra-large, or Estate, weathervanes, full-size weathervanes and smaller, or Cottage style, weathervanes. Each is made with the same expert craftsmanship and attention to detail and can be selected in shiny pure copper finish, faded patina tint or natural Blue Verde shades. Now more a decoration piece a well made weathervane will still indicate the direction the wind is blowing when properly installed on the high point of a building or roof and can also be used to track weather patterns. These age-old weather instruments come in a wide selection of exquisite designs including sailboats, eagles and horses. Of course the most popular weathervane ornament is the rooster which is a symbol of faith and has topped home and church rooftops in America and Europe for centuries.
For an even more unique home roof decoration, consider installing a wood or vinyl rooftop cupola that adds a classic beauty to any traditional or contemporary home. Decorative rooftop cupolas come in two varieties: wood and PVC vinyl. The PVC vinyl model features solid PVC plank and board rather than coated boards so the material is extra durable and strong. Vinyl cupolas can be painted with most common stains and finishes to match existing home decor. Wood cupolas are made from 100% hand-selected White Northern Pine, a fine and sturdy construction lumber. Wood and vinyl cupolas come in a wide variety of sizes and styles and also feature either solid wood roofs or 24-gauge copper roofs. Most wood and vinyl cupolas feature built-in mounting hardware to attach a weathervane or finial.
Pure copper finials are another stately and baronial accent that will turn any bland roof into a feature attraction. Available in many lengths and aristocratic styles pure copper finials can be kept polished and shiny in the original copper color or shaded to reflect a faded patina tint or Blue Verde shade. Finials are perfect for rooftop decor but can also be used in gardens as stakes or rooftop ornaments for small sheds and gazebos.
