What are the Best Toppers for a 2-Car Garage Roof? Cupolas!

11/1/2019

Looking to add some character to your garage roof? Cupolas banish boring rooflines and increase the beauty and function of your home. Our extensive collection of garage roof cupolas complement any architectural style and can be customized to meet your design tastes and needs. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff love helping customers find the cupola of their dreams!

How to Select a Garage Roof Cupola

We often have customers ask, "What size cupola do I need for a 2-car garage?" The width of your cupola depends on the length of your roof. A general rule of thumb is a minimum of 1.25” of cupola for every foot of unbroken roof ridge line, but this can vary slightly depending on the height of the garage and the overall aesthetic. While there isn't a standard size for 2-car garages, the most common sizes are 18'x20' and 24'x24'. These roof dimensions would call for either 24" or 30" wide cupolas. Our extensive collection of cupolas has dozens of styles available in these sizes, including those pictured below.

As you can see, the only limit to cupola design is your imagination. There are so many features to choose from: square or hexagon design, standing seam roof, custom molding on the base or vents - the possibilities are endless! And since our cupolas are available in a variety of sizes, you could get a matching cupola for your home as well.
​

Louver cupolas, such as the Greenfield Style Cupola, are great for adding much-needed ventilation to garages. This helps keep garages dry and cool, as well as venting any fumes from exhaust or chemicals stored inside. Window cupolas allow natural light into a garage, making it a more usable work space.

Examples of 2-Car Garage Roof Cupolas from Our Portfolio

For this 24' 2-car garage, the owners chose our most popular model cupola: the 30" CNC with Windows. This stunning cupola complements any home, with its elegant lines and gracefully arched windows. Paired with a welcoming pineapple weathervane, this garage cupola is sheer perfection!

Here we have another CNC Window cupola, this one measuring 36" wide to grace a 28' detached, 2-car garage. A great feature of the CNC Window cupola is that it can be fitted with one of our beautiful cupola lanterns to give your garage a warm, cheery glow.
Picture
On the left you can see a stunning 48" Ellsworth style cupola gracing a large 40' wide garage. The roof of the Ellsworth mimics the pitch of the garage roof while the window panes mirror those on the garage doors. On the right we have a 24' wide 2-car garage with a classic 30" Concave Cupola with Louvers. This cupola fits perfectly into the traditional style of the home, and a copper duck weathervane adds extra height to contrast against the chimney.

How big is your garage? That dimension will determine what size cupola you will need. What style cupola did you liker from my website? Thank you, Beverly
