Cupolas are an excellent investment for your home, revitalizing your roofline and even increasing the value of your home. But some homeowners are hesitant to purchase a cupola because they are concerned about having to frequently climb on their roof to care for the cupola. With our maintenance-free cupolas, you’ll enjoy a beautiful addition to your home for decades to come without the hassle of constant upkeep.

The Superior Building Materials of Our Maintenance-Free Cupolas

The most popular choice of building material for our cupolas is cellular PVC vinyl. This material provides a beautiful, polished look that is stain and fade resistant, but can also be easily painted to match your home. Since cellular PVC vinyl doesn’t absorb moisture, it won’t swell, rot, crack or develop mold. It also won’t chip, bow, warp, scratch or splinter, and isn’t prone to insect infestation like traditional wood. Cellular PVC vinyl produces maintenance-free cupolas that will last decades, as most brands have a life expectancy of over 25 years!

Another popular material choice is stunning Western Red Cedar. This lightweight wood is extremely durable and strong, making it less likely to crack or warp than other wood, including treated lumber. This renewable, environmentally friendly resource doesn’t contain toxic chemicals like pressure-treated wood, but its natural oils actually preserve the wood and deter insect attacks and decay. That is because cedar grows in damp climates, so it developed natural self-protective qualities that allow them to resist rot, water damage and fungal growth. Western Red Cedar doesn’t swell, twist or warp when exposed to weather fluctuations. It also has a high thermal coefficient, which means it provides good insulation in the winter but also helps to keep things cool in the summer. While many people choose Western Red Cedar for its beautiful, distinctive color, this wood is also pitch and resin free, allowing it to hold a wide variety of finishes and stains.

Copper is another material that we use in almost all of our cupolas. While we primarily use it for roofs, copper can be incorporated into as much - or as little - of your cupola design as you wish. From copper bases and accent moldings to entire cupolas made out of copper, the possibilities are endless! Copper is a lightweight metal that can be formed into complex shapes without losing any of its durability and strength. It pairs beautifully with any building material and architectural style, and is extremely resistant to corrosion. In fact, copper develops a beautiful patina over time that further protects it from the elements which means copper can last for decades - just look at the Statue of Liberty! If the patina develops naturally, it will have a unique color and uniformity based on the conditions where you live. If you prefer a more uniform color, we can deliver your cupola with a patinated finish.
