Winterizing Your Cupola: Maintenance and Preservation Tips

11/21/2023

0 Comments

 
The winter is upon us, which means winter storms, snow, and brutal temperatures. After you’ve invested in a beautiful couple for your home or business, it’s important to keep your cupola looking great (even in the winter time). 
​

What’s great about our high-quality cupolas is that they do not require much maintenance at all! We use the highest quality vinyl and other materials that can withstand winds, rain, snow, and more. That’s why we’re known as the cupola experts in the area! Below, learn about how to keep your cupola looking spectacular all winter long.

Check Your Cupola Before Winter Hits

Before inclement weather hits, give your cupola an inspection to make sure everything is looking great. Look your cupola over for rust or debris that may be hanging from the structure and ensure the cupola is properly closed. Performing a quick inspection before winter hits can help you prevent issues before they worsen or occur. Using a gentle brush or a broom can help you brush away any spiderwebs, leaves, or other debris left over from the fall.

Should You Remove Snow from Your Cupola?

We get this question often from our customers. If it snows heavily, you may want to create a plan for snow accumulation on your cupola. Light snowfall is generally not a problem but very heavy or wet snow could cause wear and tear on your cupola. This is generally only a major issue in areas that are heavily affected by major snowstorms.

Protective Coverings

Protecting or covering your cupola during winter storms is generally not necessary. Our cupolas are heavy-duty enough to withstand all the elements! However, it’s certainly fine to protect your cupola with a covering if you wish. If you’re using a ladder to get onto the roof, make sure to be careful! Ladder accidents and falls are not worth adding a protective cover.
