Selecting the Right Cupola Size

1/27/2023

0 Comments

 
Choosing the right size cupola for your structure is important to create the perfect finished product. A cupola that is too big can overpower the other architectural elements of your building. However, a cupola that is too small for the structure won't be as noticeable as desired. To help our customers select the right size cupola, we've developed a process that works every time! Check out some important considerations below to make the process simple and easy.

What Size is the Roof?

In general, cupola sizing is relative to roof size. Meaning the larger the roof, the larger cupola you'll need! To determine the best size, you'll want to to consider the length of the ridge line. Each foot of the roofline is usually about 1 to 1.5 inches of cupola. If this doesn't make sense or you're struggling to do measurements, please feel free to contact our team with specific questions.

You will also need to check the pitch of your roof to determine the best cupola size. A roof's pitch can be determined by it's vertical rise by every 12 inches. This means you can calculate the pitch by the ratio of height to width.

Consider the Style of the Home

When selecting a cupola, you'll also want to consider the style of your home. A home that is more modern may not look right with a traditional-style cupola. In contrast, an older home would look better with a classic cupola. Choosing styles that appropriately match the style of your home will result in the best looking end product. Luckily, Valley Forge Cupolas offers a huge selection of cupolas ranging from contemporary to traditional.
