Filed under: Roof Finials
Roof finials are becoming more and more popular with houses featuring turrets and a Gothic style architecture. Finials typically are associated with lightningrods and lightning protection, however, nowadays finials are used often just as decorative pieces to accent homes and other buildings. Roof finials tend to be made of copper and brass, but some companies feature other materials. Copper is the most popular metal to construct a finial because it is soft, easily formed, and naturally oxidizes over the years to a nice patina finish with no rusting. Many sites online sell finials, but lack the proper installation mounts and caps. East Coast Weathervanes is one of the only companies manufacturing roof caps for any style roof. They have round caps, square caps, hexagon and octagon caps. These caps allow for a nice proper installation while also giving a great look to any building. Their Finials are reasonably priced for any budget and they carry dozens of sizes and styles.
