0 Comments

 
Valley Forge Cupolas offers the largest selection of weathervanes in the region. From dogs to deer to horses, we have every type of animal imaginable in our vast selection of weathervanes. Or, if you’re looking for something a bit different, check out our wide selection of boats, sea life, and other shapes of weathervanes.
​
Each of our high-quality weathervanes are made from copper or steel and formed in a 3-dimensional shape. Why not add a unique flair to your roof with a fun weathervane? Weathervanes make a great addition to barns, gazebos, garages, and more. Plus, they give you the opportunity to express your own interests and unique style.
Copper Weathervanes
We use copper for many of our weathervanes, as it produces a stunning color and shine to jazz up any rooftop. Copper weathervanes are stylish and affordable. In addition to many running animal weathervanes, we also offer copper flying bird options, such as herons, roosters, and eagles. Other options include boats, sea life, and even speciality weathervanes like a pineapple!

No matter which of our unique weathervanes you choose, you’ll add the right touch of flair to your structure. If you’re looking for a weathervane that looks great with any type of building or style, the American flag is a popular choice. Show off your patriotism when the flag adorns your rooftop!
Steel Weathervanes
We also offer many weathervanes made of steel, another alternative to copper weathervanes. Steel is a harder material than copper, however, it is lighter in weight. Steel weathervanes are popular choices for buildings that are in areas with adverse weather conditions. Plus, steel is highly rust resistant.

Thinking about purchasing a Valley Forge Cupola? You’ve come to the right place. For most home or business owners, purchasing a cupola is not something they’ve done before. As such, it’s only normal that you have questions about the process. As experts in the cupola industry, we’ve compiled a list of questions we hear from many of our customers.

Before you purchase your cupola, check out these frequently asked questions.

Frequently Asked Cupola Questions

Q: How do I pick the best cupola size?
A: Picking the right size cupola is an important decision. Of course, you want your cupola to be big enough to be visible from far away, but you also don’t want it to be too large that it overpowers the building. Often, people tend to choose cupolas that are too small. Our Valley Forge Cupola specialists will be happy to help steer you in the right direction based on the measurements you provide.

Q: Can cupolas be painted?
A: Yes, cupolas can be painted, however there are a few things worth noting. Painting your cupola is not necessary to prolong its lifespan if your cupola is made of high-quality vinyl materials. However, cupolas can be painted if you wish to change the aesthetic appearance. For wooden cupolas, staining your cupola is a smart idea to protect it from rain and snow.
​
Q: Why do I need to determine the pitch of my roof?
A” Determining the pitch of your roof helps ensure the cupola you select will fit correctly. Our expert cupola specialists can walk you through determining the pitch of your roof to determine which shape and size of cupola will work best with your structure. 
​
Q: Which material cupola is best for my needs?
A: Valley Forge Cupolas offers a number of materials for cupolas, including metal, vinyl, and more. Many people wish to select a material that will match the material used on their building, to create a seamless look.

What are Louver Cupolas?

2/20/2023

0 Comments

 
When it comes time to buy a cupola, you might be surprised just how many types of cupolas there are to choose from. One of the most popular types of cupolas is louver cupolas, which are those with an opening or vented side. The venting is sometimes in the form of vents or blinds. While these certainly serve an aesthetic purpose, did you know these louver cupolas serve a purpose too? Keep reading to learn more about this popular style of cupola and why it's a great choice.

Ventilation of Louver Cupolas

Louver cupolas offer a clear advantage: the ability to promote ventilation. Due to its open design, hot and humid air can escape outside of your building, while cool air enters. This can be especially helpful on certain types of buildings, such as barns or garages. These types of spaces can certainly benefit from enhanced ventilation! Increasing the airflow to your space helps prevent mold and mildew.
Picture

Withstanding Weather Elements

Louver cupolas are also popular because they hold up well in all types of weather. The slanted slats on the side of these are designed to allow rain and snow to easily slide off. Rain or shine, we guarantee your cupola will look great all year round!

Made to Last

Valley Forge Cupolas offers dozens of styles of high-quality louver cupolas to choose from, giving you plenty of selection. Our vinyl cupolas offer a great choice for those looking to enhance the ventilation in their space, however, they can also be used just for decoration. We have straight and concave designs to choose from. If one of our standard sizes does not work for you, we will also be happy to build a custom designed louvered cupola to meet your specific needs.

Let Us Help You Pick a Louver Cupola

Not sure where to get started? Let the cupola experts at Valley Forge Cupolas help you! Our years of expertise have made it easy to help our customers make the best selections. We want to help you find a cupola you'll be 100% pleased with. To learn more about our specialty cupolas, contact us today at (866)-400-1776.

What Type of Cupola Materials Should I Use?

2/3/2023

0 Comments

 
As the "Cupola Specialists", we've heard every type of question! One of the most frequently asked questions about cupolas is how to determine the best cupola material to select. Cupolas are available in a variety of durable materials, including wood, vinyl, and metal. Depending on your aesthetic preferences and usage, one material might be a clear choice. However, it can also be difficult to determine which is the best cupola.

Wooden Cupolas

A wooden cupola will provide the most classic cupola look that many people seek. Valley Forge Cupolas offers high-quality wooden cupola made from the best wood.  Wood is designed to last and can blend seamlessly with buildings of any architectural structure. 

Vinyl Cupolas

Although the appearance of a wooden cupola is highly desired, our Vinyl cupolas are our most popular type. This is because the vinyl material is easiest to maintain and can withstand weather of any type. Wood is more likely to crack, warp, or split when compared to vinyl cupolas. Today, we offer vinyl cupolas in dozens of sizes, styles, and color combinations. If our pre-made designs don't suit your fancy, we also offer custom designs! If you're looking for a cupola that will last for years and years to come, vinyl is the best choice.
Picture

Metal Cupolas

Metal cupolas are also quite durable. They are perfect for customers looking for a match to an existing house, garage, or barn. Metal cupolas look best on metal buildings, creating the perfect flow and design. Our metal cupolas are known as our Sundance Style Cupolas which come in so many color combinations. We can craft metal cupolas with lanterns and lights too!

Still Not Sure Which Cupola is Best For You?

Our years in the cupola industry have gained us a keen eye for details. We're happy to look at a photo of your building and suggest the best type of cupola for your needs. While any of these three materials are great options, we know you want to make the best choice when investing in a cupola. With questions, please contact the Cupola Specialists at (866)-400-1776. We look forward to helping you select your home cupola!

Selecting the Right Cupola Size

1/27/2023

0 Comments

 
Choosing the right size cupola for your structure is important to create the perfect finished product. A cupola that is too big can overpower the other architectural elements of your building. However, a cupola that is too small for the structure won't be as noticeable as desired. To help our customers select the right size cupola, we've developed a process that works every time! Check out some important considerations below to make the process simple and easy.

What Size is the Roof?

In general, cupola sizing is relative to roof size. Meaning the larger the roof, the larger cupola you'll need! To determine the best size, you'll want to to consider the length of the ridge line. Each foot of the roofline is usually about 1 to 1.5 inches of cupola. If this doesn't make sense or you're struggling to do measurements, please feel free to contact our team with specific questions.

You will also need to check the pitch of your roof to determine the best cupola size. A roof's pitch can be determined by it's vertical rise by every 12 inches. This means you can calculate the pitch by the ratio of height to width.

Consider the Style of the Home

When selecting a cupola, you'll also want to consider the style of your home. A home that is more modern may not look right with a traditional-style cupola. In contrast, an older home would look better with a classic cupola. Choosing styles that appropriately match the style of your home will result in the best looking end product. Luckily, Valley Forge Cupolas offers a huge selection of cupolas ranging from contemporary to traditional.

Ways to Add Light to a Window Cupola

1/20/2023

0 Comments

 
Window cupolas are amongst the most popular and aesthetically pleasing types of cupolas around. Have you ever passed a stunning cupola at night? Window cupolas shine beautifully when light is added. You might have wondered how this is done! Keep reading to learn the various ways you can add light to a window cupola. From string lights to solar powered lights, homeowners have a lot of options to make their cupola glow.
Picture

String Lights

One of the simplest and inexpensive ways to light your cupola is by adding string lights. String lights can be purchased almost anywhere and can be wrapped around the base or draped on top. Whether you go with a classic white or add fun colors, there's a lot of ways to jazz up your cupola using string lights. Around the holiday time, this is a fun way to add to your Christmas light display!

Light Bulbs

Another way to light up your cupola is by using a high-wattage light bulb from within. If you're looking for a warm glow, skip the LED light bulbs which produce more of a bright white glow. Make sure you select a bulb that is bright enough to light up the entire window area.

Solar Powered Lights

Solar powered lights are another option to add light to your cupola. Solar panels must be placed in a location that has lots of sun exposure. Mounting the solar panel light fixture inside the cupola is perfect, as the lights will automatically turn on and off each night. You'll never have to remember to turn them on!

Spotlights

Want to call attention to your brand new window cupola? Add a spotlight that draws attention to it! Place a spotlight at the base of the cupola and aim it upward. LED spotlights are a great choice if you want to keep your monthly energy bill down.

Let Us Help You Light Up Your Cupola
