The Unique Beauty of Wood Cupolas from Valley Forge Cupolas

Nothing adds classic, elegant beauty to a roofline like wood cupolas! At Valley Forge Cupolas, all of our wood cupolas are built from stunning Western Red Cedar. Cedar is one of the most popular woods for home exteriors because it is naturally resistant to moisture, rot, decay and insect attacks. That is because cedar grows in damp climates (such as swamps) where fungus, microorganisms and insects create destructive conditions. As a result, cedar trees have developed self-protective qualities that allow them to resist rot, insects and temperature-related stresses far better than other woods, such as pine. Cedar doesn’t shrink, swell, warp or crack like other lumber, even under severe changes in humidity and temperature. The durability of cedar means you will enjoy your cupola for decades to come with minimal maintenance!

In addition to its wonderful aroma, cedar is one of the most beautifully colored woods. Western Red Cedar is noted for its pink to reddish color, which is sometimes intermixed with broad bands of amber, cream and brown. It is also extremely fine and straight-grained, and has great flexibility and strength in proportion to its weight, making it a sturdy and reliable building material. And because cedar is lightweight, you can add a large cupola to your roof without adding significant weight.

Western Red Cedar is the go-to building material for areas that experience high humidity or extreme temperatures. Its low density also means less heat is transported through the end, which means less heat escapes in the winter and cool air is contained during the summer.

Cedar wood can be left unfinished, but its durability is greatly increased by regular applications of sealer or paint. Because Western Red Cedar is pitch and resin-free, it can accept and hold a wide variety of colors and finishes to complement any home.

Wood Cupolas for Every Size and Style Home

Cedar barns are extremely popular, with many of these lovely barns being converted into homes. Whether your cedar barn is your home, garage or stable, our wood cupolas are the perfect finishing touch. On the left you can see one of our 60” Cedar Carlisle cupolas with arched windows on a 50’ barn. On the right we have a 42” Cedar Dalton cupola with arched louvers on a 36’ roof.

These cedar garage cupolas show how well Western Red Cedar absorbs and holds stain. Both of these cupolas are 36” and have lovely copper weathervanes on the top. The Ellsworth style cupola (left) has clean, straight lines, and the Waterford style cupola (right) has a combination of louvers and small windows for both ventilation and natural lighting.

It got me when you said that cedar is one of the most beautifully colored woods aside from having a nice aroma. With that in mind, it would probably be a nice choice for the furniture that I dream of for my future home. It would definitely be able to achieve the rustic theme that I want for the dream house that I have been saving up for the past three years now.

That sounds like a lovely home design. Are you also looking for a cupola?

I would suggest a 36" cupola for a 30' wide roof. What style cupola did you like from my website? Please let me know and I will do a quote for you. Thank you, Beverly
