This timber framed porch features a stunning segmental ridge dragon finial as part of its design and features which sits proudly at its apex. The customer was renovating a lovely property situated in East Grinstead in Sussex and built a new build timber porch which is tiled with terracotta plain tiles and segmental ridge tiles. They was looking to integrate a roof finial as part of the design to add a striking decorative feature so a segmental dragon of course was the obvious choice as it matched the ridge profile and has excellent sculptural detail
As you can see the end result looks fantastic, the house has a rendered finish over the brickwork with new terracotta vertical tiles which are bright and vivid and the porch itself is more traditional looking with its thick timber framing and brindle style tiled roof with the ridge dragon. The ridge dragon is fitted into place using standard mortar mix and the roofer set some tiles decoratively in the mortar bond to give a nice finish to the front of the dragon
The customer was delighted with the end result and it has created a great feature because as you approach the property the roof dragon is eyes catching and because it is closer up you can really appreciated the details in it. The customer has received many nice comments on the timber frame porch and dragon and it has proved to be a great way to integrate the dragons to create a very creative feature which is perhaps different to the standard designs you may normally see
