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

2 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.

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.
