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.

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.

What Type of Cupola Materials Should I Use?

2/3/2023

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.

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!
