How gable finials, infill and vents fit together
Published
A gable is the triangular end of a pitched roof. A finial sits at the apex, infill occupies part of the triangle, and a gable vent sits in the gable wall.
Look at all three from the street when planning a restoration. If you are replacing one piece, take a straight-on photo of the whole gable and a closer photo of any matching detail that survives.
Measure the space each component has to fit. If a vent is meant to provide ventilation, have your builder confirm the airflow and installation requirements for your roof.
