Weathervanes are beautiful accents steeped in a rich history of artistic expression and practical function. With origins dating all the way back to 48 B.C., they’ve gradually shed their utilitarian beginnings to become a time-honored artform gracing homes, barns and churches to this very day.

Shopping for a cupola is a truly exciting experience. With all of the customization options and fun accessories, it’s a great way to bring your rooftop imaginings to life and elevate your style! However, there are a couple of steps in the cupola purchasing process that can seem daunting at first glance. Foremost of these is cupola sizing. After all, every house, barn, shed, garage, and commercial building is unique in size and shape. How can you be sure that your cupola will fit your building correctly? By trusting the seasoned sizing experts at Valley Forge Cupolas, you can shop with complete confidence that your new cupola will be the perfect fit. With so many cupola sizings under our belt, we’re certain of our ability to size up your home and create a corresponding cupola. Today we’ll feature a review from Jack, a satisfied customer of Valley Forge Cupolas. Here’s what Jack has to say about his experience: “We are very happy with the well designed Azek vinyl cupola we purchased from Valley Forge Cupolas. Beverly was very helpful in answering multiple questions over several months as we made plans to add the cupola. I was particularly concerned about the appropriate size, but I took measurements and sent several photos to Beverly and she made a perfect recommendation (it looked enormous on the ground, but now that it is in place, the size is perfect). They also answered questions regarding the weathervane and lighting. They have a large selection of weathervanes and finials. For lighting, I chose to use a Philips Hue Outdoor LED light strip that can be scheduled to turn on and off via a phone app. It also allows easy adjustment of color and brightness. They shipped the cupola on a wooden pallet and it came with everything the roofing contractor needed to install the cupola.” Confidence In Cupola SizingAs you can see from Jack’s review, Valley Forge Cupolas chose the perfect cupola size for his unique sizing situation. If you want cupola experts you can trust for dependable dimensions, shop with Valley Forge Cupolas. For buildings, short, long, wide or tall, we have cupolas to fit them all!
If you’re interested in purchasing a cupola, you probably want to make sure it’s made out of the best material possible before you commit. When it comes to materials used for cupola construction, there are usually several options. Today we’ll be exploring the benefits of Polyvinyl Chloride, or PVC, and what makes it such a great choice for cupola composition. So let’s take a closer look at PVC cupolas! AffordabilityPVC, known also as vinyl, is a relatively inexpensive building material. Easily processed and readily available, it has replaced materials like wood, metal, rubber and concrete in a variety of industries and applications throughout the world. Using PVC in cupola construction reduces the cost of materials without sacrificing quality. High durability and maintenance-free properties mean even more savings in the long run when choosing a PVC cupola. DurabilityExterior buildings are often at the mercy of the elements; prone to warping, rusting, rotting and other physical damage over time. Luckily, PVC is a champion of weatherability! It can easily withstand conditions that might seriously harm other materials. This is great news for cupolas, which are exposed year round to harsh elements like snow, ice, wind and rain. If you choose a PVC cupola, you’ll get more than just a beautiful cupola that’s with you when the sun is shining; you’ll have a cupola that can withstand all manner of bad weather. Low-maintenanceMost buildings require a fair amount of upkeep to preserve them. This can mean hours of peeling, chipping, repainting and staining; not to mention the high cost of quality maintenance materials and labor. As an alternative, PVC requires very little attention to stay in tip-top shape. A simple cleaning every year, and your PVC cupola will be as good as new! Choose a PVC Cupola Today!In addition to the above qualities, PVC can be molded and fashioned to look like just about any other material on the market. This means you’ll get all the resilience and low maintenance of PVC without having to sacrifice good looks. With all of these advantages, it’s hard not to justify a PVC cupola. So come to Valley Forge Cupola and pick one out today!
