Metal Roof Cupolas to Complement Any Roofline

When it comes to matching a cupola to your home, the shape and color of the roof helps tie the cupola into the rest of the building. Metal roof cupolas offer durability, elegance, and a variety of finishes and colors to complement any home. You can choose one of our stock designs, or build your own custom cupola to meet your exact needs.

Metal Roof Cupolas: Aluminum, Copper, and Painted Steel

When it comes to metal roofs for cupolas, aluminum likely isn’t the first metal that springs to mind. However, aluminum offers numerous benefits, including in hot or seaside environments. Aluminum is an excellent reflector of heat: during the summer, it can reflect over 90% of the sun’s rays, helping to keep your attic space cooler. In the winter, the aluminum reflects heat back into the house to mitigate radiant cooling. Aluminum is also much lighter than steel and copper, making it easier to install.

When it comes to durability, aluminum can last for years without showing much wear and tear. It can withstand extreme weather and does not warp, crack, or rust. If you live in an area that experiences acid rain or has salty air, aluminum will maintain its good looks longer than copper or steel.

By far the most popular roofing choice, copper adds a brilliant pop to any roofline and is one of the longest-lasting metals. That is because as copper ages it develops a beautiful patina (the bluish-green hue) on its surface. However, unlike rust on steel, patina does not damage the copper. Instead, it acts as a protective barrier between the copper and the elements. The development and ultimate color of patina is determined by several variables, including temperature, humidity and precipitation, length of exposure, chemical environment, and the surface condition of the copper. That is why some customers choose a copper roof that is already patinated to ensure a uniform color. If you prefer to preserve the brilliant shine of your copper roof, there are sealants that will help keep a patina from developing or you can clean the copper regularly.

Steel is one of the most durable building materials that - when properly sealed - can last a lifetime. Steel roofs are commonly found in areas that frequently experience high winds and strong storms as they can weather storms with minimal damage. Our Sundance Cupolas have steel roofs and bases that are available in a variety of color combinations, including:
  • Avocado Green
  • Pewter Grey
  • Slate Blue
  • Colonial Red
  • Bronze
  • Light Stone
You can view all 25 color options here. We also custom cut the bases of our Sundance cupolas to match your roof pitch, ensuring a secure fit.

Looking to purchase 3 large cupolas for our metal building. Building is a 30’x120’ with 20’ high walls and a 4/12 roof pitch. Building is white with black roof so we want something to match color wise and be size appropriate for the building. We are in Madisonville, TN and looking to purchase now. Thank you

I have left my email in all of my correspondences but you don’t seem to be getting it (the email box says it’s unpublished) and the email I keep getting from your company that lets me know you have responded is a “no-reply” email. Can you please include your email in your reply in case you aren’t seeing my email in the box that asks for it? The zip code for the shipment is 37354 There is definitely something wrong with how your site works on an iPhone.

My email address is [email protected]. I’m not sure why you haven’t been getting my email address. So to confirm, we want three 48”wide window cupolas in black and white to match our metal building. The building manufacturer is asking the weight of the cupolas… They said as long as they weigh no more than 250lbs, I won’t need anything additional from them to support them. Can you please also give me the weight of them when you send me the quote with pricing? Also, what is the lead time to make these and have them shipped? Again, the zip code is 37354
Thank you!

What a great read! I never realized how versatile metal cupolas could be until I read this article. Last summer, I had a copper cupola installed, and the patina that developed is just stunning—it really adds a unique character to my home. Kudos to the author for shedding light on the benefits of different metals; it’s been super helpful in making my decision!
