Wind Vane

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

What exactly does a wind vane do?

Besides from looking fabulous, your new wind vane has a very important role. It can help you to determine and anticipate changes in your local weather with ease. The weathervane itself is a clever device that points in the source direction of a blowing wind, and will move if that wind changes direction. This allows you to see which wind is blowing at all times, and determine the associated weather with that wind.

How to read your new wind vane

Reading your new weathervane is easy: simply visually align the pointer’s direction with the compass directionals below it to determine the source direction of the blowing wind. This is because all winds are named from their source.

What difference does the pointer design make to the reading?

When purchasing your weathervanes from Bar Harbor Weathervanes you can be sure that you are getting the best quality and the best service. Each pointer is carefully calibrated and accurately balanced so that you get accurate readings regardless of the design.

Weathervane and Cupola

Monday, October 29th, 2007

The perfect weathervane and cupola combination

Weathervanes are sold without any mounting apparatus because there are so many different places where you could mount them – each different place requires a specialized mounting plate. If you are looking for a classy way to mount your new weathervane then you should consider the beautiful and stylish cupola. Together these two items will strike awe into the hearts of passersby!

Why do the weathervane and cupola work so well together?

The cupola was initially used as a natural ventilation method for homes and buildings, but over the years has become more suited to housing weathervanes. This is why they are now manufactured with the weathervane mounting apparatus running down the middle of the cupola – no additional mounting is needed!

Matching up the two copper accents

Your new copper weathervane and cupola structures each come with copper accents – the weathervane pointer is made from copper and the cupola roof is copper too – so you should match up these cupola finishes in the same way, whether you choose the patina look or the natural look.
