The Unique Appeal of Octagonal Cupolas

3/10/2017

During the 1850s through the early 1900s, octagon houses enjoyed a brief popularity in the United States and Canada thanks to a book by Orson S. Fowler. In his book, Fowler explained the advantages of octagonal architecture, from providing added living space and allowing extra natural light, to being more energy-efficient and offering panoramic views. While octagon houses slowly waned from popular production, their shape has lasted as an appealing alternative to the traditional square.
 
If you are looking to add architectural flair to your home, octagon cupolas - such as those in our Signature Series, pictured above - bring a unique and classic charm to your roofline. The exquisite molding of our Signature cupolas complements both the louver and window designs while adding character to the base. Chose the concave roof for a more Gothic look, while the bell-shaped roof offers a softer feel.

Octagonal Cupolas in the Estate Select Series

The classic shape of the Kingston Cupola feels right at home on older architecture, from storm-weathered New England Colonials to sprawling Southern Plantations. Its concave roof easily sheds rain, sleet and snow, while drawing the eye ever upward. The louvers add much-needed ventilation to attic spaces, protecting items you have stored there as well as making the space more usable.

If you like the look of the Kingston but want to add more light to your home, the Salisbury is the cupola for you. It’s beautiful, tall, arched windows allow natural light to flood your home, brightening and cheering your interior. Available in maintenance-free Azek vinyl, these cupolas are designed to last.

The simple lines of the Villa Cupola complement any architectural design. The gently sloping roof is reminiscent of French country-style architecture, while the beautiful copper makes it an eye-catching adornment to your roof. Whether an old farmhouse or a modern townhouse, this octagon cupola will add class and style to your home.

Octagon Cupolas for Your Gazebo

Why should your house have all the fun? You can also get octagonal cupolas for your gazebo. Our louvered gazebo cupolas are available in the traditional combination of Azek vinyl and copper, or gorgeous Western Red Cedar. Louver cupolas are perfect for keeping your gazebo cool in the summer, allowing hot air to escape rather than being trapped under the roof.
 
If you are looking to add more light to your gazebo, our Salisbury cupola is the perfect choice. While it is small in stature, it has a big personality. With arched windows and a dramatically sloping roof, it defies the notion that gazebos can’t be elegant.
