Cupolas Create Curb Appeal Whitewater WI

My recent post on cupolas, Cupolas Create Curb Appeal, was quite popular and I've received quite a few questions regarding vinyl cupolas. I personally have not used a vinyl cupola but I did some research and there are quite a few manufacturers.

Adding a cupola to your home or garage is a great way to create unique curb appeal that is sure to get your neighbors attention. Cupolas are making a come back in the industry and it's obvious why. This small architectural feature gives home owners many options to show off their style and personality.

There are many manufacturers offering pre-fabricated cupolas in many styles, shapes and sizes. One of the most important decisions to be made is the size. Sizing a cupola is difficult and it's best to consult the manufacturers recommendations or an architect. The total height of the cupola and spire in the attached photos is approximately 9'-6". Cupolas can be purchased from many online vendors and specialty home supply stores.

In addition to the cupolas, you can top them with custom weatervanes, spires and finials. Most of these are fabricated from copper or aluminum. Typically they are installed on some type of structural rod that is attached to the cupola or roof structure below. In the attached photo to the left you can see the copper clad roof and copper finial.

The cupola shown is the Stephenson "Governor" Series 36"x55", you can see details at www.cwohio.com/PDF/CW2503_StephensonCupolas.pdf . The finial is the 44" Excalibur, sold by Directions for Home and Garden, www.directionshg.com .

Adding one of these classic architectural details to your home can add unique curb appeal and plenty of back yard discussions with friends and family. For more information about this cupola and spire or other similar projects please contact me for further details.
