Slate And Copper Sales Company's Line of weather vane and cupola designs come in a variety of sizes and styles with either a wooden base or as an all-copper piece. All wooden or copper cupola styles are manufactured to customer specifications. Standard sizes are available, but most cupolas are customized to fit the structure. Flags, weather vanes and copper finial styles are available to fit the top of the cupola.
Cupolas can enhance the appearance of fine architectural structures and commercial buildings, as well as provide great ventilation. Ventilation and proper insulation are essential components to the life of any roof structure and a copper finial or weather vane cupola design is a great way to blend practicality with beauty. When cupolas are used with soffit vents, dormer vents and/or gable vents, it can help reduce heating and cooling costs substantially.
Choosing the Right Size Cupola
Choose the right wooden or copper cupola size for your home. A general rule of thumb is one inch of cupola base for every foot of unbroken roof line. The key to this equation is the unbroken roof line dimension so be sure that it’s accurate!
