Roof dragons installed on a garage workshop roof

A customer sent us in some really nice photos after their project was complete, it features 2 of the small dragon finials from the range installed on their garage workshop roof. The customer is located down in sunny Portsmouth and in the area the properties tend to be Victorian\Edwardian and most feature decorative roof finials to decorate the various roof elevations. One can be seen opposite in one of the photos in actual fact, an ornate scroll finial

The garage was a brand new construction project and is a brick built structure with rendered finish and has a garage door for access to the rear and some windows to let in some light. The roof was slated with Welsh slate and there is run of terracotta ridge tiles on the ridge line and dragons at either end of the ridge tile run. The finished garage workshop looks great and the customer was delighted with the roof dragons as they really add really nice character and decoration to the garage workshop roof

The dragons look great on structures of this scale because in this case you have one dragon located above the garage door and the other which is situated to the pavement\roadside. This particular dragon can be better appreciated close up because it is smaller in stature than some of the other dragons and features excellent detail when viewed close up. They also look the correct scale for the structure and create a point of interest when viewed from the front garden or from the street
