Copper Weathervanes – Garden Styles and Rooftop Mounting – Where to Buy
Copper Weathervanes
Copper weathervanes are an elegant and simple addition to any home or building. Both functional and ornamental in nature, copper weathervanes serve the purpose of showing the direction of wind while adding new and beautiful detail to any home exterior. Although the most traditional weathervanes depict a cockerel design with four letters (N, S, E, W) indicating compass directions, copper weathervanes produced today are available in a variety of styles. The first weathervane was cast in bronze and depicted Titan on an agora (gathering place) in ancient Rome.
Weathervanes are a timeless and welcome addition to any home. Traditionally mounted on the highest point of the roof, a weathervane can also be mounted in gardens or lawns for ornamentation purposes. Weathervanes can be found in a variety of materials including copper, aluminum, wrought iron, brass, steel and sometimes plastic or vinyl. Copper weathervanes are especially beautiful because the copper will naturally patina over time.
Copper weathervanes are produced today – allowing you to incorporate their patterns and designs on the exterior of your home and reflect your unique personality. The exterior of your home is the first impression visitors will have and an eye catching weathervane can say a lot about what to expect inside. Before installing your new weathervane it is important to remember a few simple steps. First, balance is essential when mounting a weathervane in order for it to function properly so make sure you select a stable surface for mounting. Second, replace older and worn exterior home hardware such as entryway sets, window hinges and gate hardware with new and updated designs to enhance your theme. Although you do not need to match all your hardware to your new weathervane it is important not to overlook this area of your home.
Copper weathervanes are readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for copper construction and be sure to ask questions. A weathervane can be mounted on the roof or ground to make sure to check if additional brackets or hardware is needed for installation. When you install a copper weathervane you can be sure you are adding a special touch to your home. These copper weathervanes are available online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.
