Classic Cupolas Revolutionize the Look of Any Home

Cupolas were first introduced in the 8th century and have seen many incarnations, from minarets in the Middle East to onion domes in Russia to the classic cupola style we know and love today. An American architecture staple, cupolas are square or octagonal in shape and have pointed or bell-shaped roofs. They are often found gracing the tops of domes on old buildings to serve as belfries or lookouts.

Tour Our Collection of Classic Cupolas

This elegant cupola is reminiscent of classic 19th- and early 20th-century church belfries. The arches add soft lines while the custom molding accentuates the narrow taper of the vents. Perfect for farmhouses, ranches, bungalows, Cape Cods, craftsmen and country-style homes.

Our most popular window cupola, the CNC Window Cupola is one of the most versatile classic cupola designs. It blends seamlessly into any architecture and comes in a wide range of sizes to fit everything from sheds and garages to large homes. The large, arched windows allow ample light into your home and the concave roof catches the light to add a beautiful glow to your roof.

The Waterford Style Cupola is an efficient yet elegant classic design, combining the benefits of both windows and louvers. Perfect for attic spaces, the Waterford provides much needed ventilation to keep your attic cool and dry, while also adding natural light to an often poorly lit space. Its compact design makes it look like a natural extension of your home, for those who prefer a more subtle accent to their roofline.

Classic cupolas often used elaborate window designs to put a unique twist on an otherwise simple design. The Roxbury features arched windows with delicately arched window grids that mimic classic stained glass designs. The bold lines of the Custom Prairie Window add height add flair to the overall design.

The Custom R-Series cupolas cleverly combines vertical louvers with small, paned windows to give the appearance of shutters. And since Azek vinyl is easily painted, you can paint the cupola to match your siding and shutters for a chic, one-of-a-kind look.

This beautiful classic cupola makes a breathtaking addition to Victorian, Colonial and other older-style homes. The bell-shaped roof and double arched windows mimics the often rounded architecture found in older homes. These homes also often featured ship lap siding, which pairs beautifully with the flared, ship lap base of the cupola.
