Roll top ridge gargoyle on porch

This fantastic gargoyle roof finial is installed on a porch tiled with clay tiles and terracotta ridges. It is the focal point of the roof and creates a stunning feature on the porch roof. This particular ridge gargoyle was produced in a terracotta colour with an aged effect to match in nice with both the roof tiles and the ridge tiles. The gargoyle crest head sculpture features the gargoyle clinging to the tile and from ground level peeks down over the tile. The facial features and sculptural features are nicely defined to great a lovely decorative piece for the roof

The gargoyle is set on a 45 degree (90 degree) angled ridge tile and this particular ridge is called a roll top ridge tile. The pieces is quite versatile because it is small enough to fit nicely on a porch roof but also if a roof is roofed with roll top ridges it would look nice and uniform when installed. The gargoyle can be used to great effect also on roofs with reclaimed or weathered roof tiles and also new tiles as the gargoyle comes in a nice colour finish to suit most applications

The range of winged ridge dragons and gargoyle roof finials add stunning architectural detail to roofs. The winged dragons and gargoyles come on a range of different fittings and although mainly used for gable ends and hip ends our customers use them creatively as great features pieces. We will be expanding the range to include winged wyverns, phoenix, griffins, grotesques, lions and other winged mythical roof finials too in due
