When selecting the right size cupola for your home, the general rule of thumb is 1.25” of cupola for every foot of unbroken roof ridge line. For example, a 24’ roof would need a cupola with a minimum 30” wide base. But when choosing cupolas for larger homes, there are a few more factors to consider. Long rooflines may require multiple cupolas, or a multi-story home may need a cupola with custom height. If you’re unsure what size cupola is right for your home, our cupola specialists are always ready to help you find the perfect cupola.
We Build Cupolas for Larger Homes

Here are some great examples of how we modify our cupolas for larger homes. On the left you can see that we expand the windows of the Carlisle style cupola to have eight panes on either side. This balances the proportions and keeps the overall look of the cupola while allowing us to increase its size.
On the right we have the streamlined Ellsworth style cupola. Our client needed a 72” wide cupola, so we used a double window configuration. This stunning look adds the extra touch of elegance that larger homes call for.

Examples of Cupolas on Larger Homes
Here you can see one of our most popular and versatile cupolas, the CNC Window style cupola. This 48” vinyl cupola features straight windows which pair perfectly with the windows on the home and breezeway. The patinated copper roof complements the cool greys of the exterior, and a 39” Morgana Finial adds the perfect finishing touch.
For large homes with multiple levels or particularly long rooflines, we recommend getting two or more cupolas rather than one large cupola. For this home, our clients chose two 30” CNC Window cupolas to anchor each end of their home. Fitted with lighting, they add a welcoming glow at night.

We weren’t sure what size cupola would fit on our house. I wrote to Beverly and she helped by prescribing a 42 inch and included a nice diagram. Product is well made and sturdy. I installed it with the help of another man in three hours. Beverly was very attentive and answered all my questions. Recommended. - Steve S.G.
