A garage cupola with weathervane is the perfect way to add character to your home. At Valley Forge Cupolas, our garage cupolas come in a wide variety of sizes and styles, so you are certain to find the perfect roof topper for your garage. Whether you want a simple design or custom accents, our high-quality, handcrafted cupolas are sure to fit the bill. Just take a look at some of our satisfied customers' garage cupolas with weathervanes.

A Tour of Our Finished Garage Cupolas with Weathervanes

Our first stop is this 24' wide 2-car garage featuring the popular 30" Concave with Louvers cupola. The louvers have a stylish eyelid arch and the straight roof perfectly complements the nearby chimney. The cupola is topped with a Flying Duck weathervane which measures 22"L x 20"H x 27"W (wingspan). This garage cupola and weathervane add much needed ventilation to the garage while adding visual interest to the single-story roofline.

Next we have a 30' wide garage with a steeply pitched roof sporting a 36" Alexander cupola. The Alexander cupola is from our Signature Series and has arched custom molding on the louvers with a center keystone accent. The taper of the concave roof draws the eye to our Fisherman weathervane, who is in the process of netting his catch.

Ahoy Matey! This mighty Whale weathervane with patina finish is the icing on the cake of a beautiful garage cupola. Perfectly sized for this 28' wide 2-car garage, our 36" Carlisle cupola features beautiful paned windows that allow a cupola lantern to light up the night. We added extra corner trim to the base of this cupola to complement the trim around the garage doors and windows.

All of our garage cupolas come in three easy-to-assemble parts. Decorative cupolas, like this one, are placed right on top of the shingles, so there's no need to cut into your roof. The windows of this 32" cupola match the windows of the garage doors, forming a cohesive look. Topped with a frolicking Fox weathervane, this cupola adds one-of-a-kind style to this garage.

Add a Flourish to Your Roof with a Copper Finial

7/3/2020

0 Comments

Designed to emphasize the apex of a roof, gable, spire, or cupola, copper finials are typically placed on the tallest part of a building to accent its height. Finials are a great way to add a distinctive flair to any roofline, piercing the sky with their elegant spires. At Valley Forge Cupolas, our beautiful collection of copper finials is inspired by royalty, Arthurian legend and famous cities. Take a look at some of our favorite finials below to see why finials have enjoyed tremendous popularity for centuries!

The Enduring Appeal of Copper Finials

Copper is a fantastic metal, able to form and hold complex shapes while maintaining durability and strength. It is also extremely corrosion resistant. Over time, copper develops a beautiful patina that protects it from the elements, allowing it to last for decades. Copper is a lightweight metal, so our finials are easy to mount and don't put a strain on your roof.

Copper Finials from Our Collection

These two elegant spires capture the classic Victorian finial styles. As elegant and mysterious as its namesake, Morgan Le Fay, the Morgana finial is available in three heights: 28", 40", and a breathtaking 53". Our tallest finial, the Morgana makes a bold, dramatic statement on any roofline. On the right we have our newest finial, the Aragon. Available in 28" or 40", its thin, tapered height is the perfect complement to traditional homes.

Reminiscent of the lances carried by valiant knights, our Avalon and Lancelot finials are inspired by Arthurian legend. The petite Avalon is perfect for small garages, sheds or cabins. The Lancelot finial fits nicely on our small to medium cupolas or homes with short rooflines.

Our finials are available in a variety of finishes, including verdigris. If you don't want to wait for patina to develop naturally, or want to be sure of a uniform patinated color, the verdigris finish is an excellent option.

Many of our beautiful copper finials are now available with decorative copper roof mounts, shown above. When selecting the height of your finial, factor in whether it will be mounted directly to your roof or on top of a cupola. Determining the right size finial for your home will depend on a combination of factors, including the height and length of your roof and distance perspective. The experts at Valley Forge Cupolas can answer all your finial questions and help you choose the perfect height for your home.
