Cupolas have been around for centuries, getting their name from an old Latin word which means “small cup.” These architectural flourishes have graced buildings such as cathedrals, castles, and government offices. More recently, cupolas are being used to enhance the style of garages, houses, offices, barns, and other buildings. They are designed to light and ventilate buildings, but have a host of other benefits.
What Are the Benefits of a Louvered Cupola?
A louver is a type of blind, window, or shutter that has adjustable, horizontal slats. The slats are tilted so that fresh air and light can enter your home, while keeping out rain, direct sunlight, and noise.
A cupola is made up of three parts: the base, the vents, and the caps. In a louvered cupola, louvers make up the vent section, allowing ventilation and airflow while blocking out the elements.

- Aesthetics – The biggest appeal of cupolas is how they look. Cupolas can accentuate the height of your home when placed on its highest peak. It is a focal point that draws the eye while simultaneously enhancing the overall design of your home. The cap of a cupola can be square, hexagonal, octagonal or bell-shaped. These options broaden its ability to complement your home.
- Function – Cupolas can come with a variety of features, one of the most common being louvered vents. They allow air to circulate in the attic and send moist air outside, protecting your attic from rotting wood and mildew growth. This also cools your home, allowing your air conditioning to operate more efficiently. In the winter, a cupola’s incline allows snow to slide off easily, reducing the strain on your roof and helping prevent cave-ins.
- Durability – Our cupolas are built to last by skilled Amish craftsmen. Made from the highest-quality materials, including maintenance-free cellular PCV-vinyl, they will last for years to come.
