At Valley Forge Cupolas, we take pride in our beautiful, handcrafted cupolas. We offer a wide variety of choices and styles, and even offer customization options to make your cupola a unique fit just for you. Today we’ll be exploring our 3 options for cupola construction material: wood, vinyl or metal. Which cupola material is right for you?

Wood

When it comes to material purists, wood is simply the only option; it’s easy to understand why. From aesthetics like grain to the very smell of natural wood, there’s nothing quite like it. All of our wood cupolas are made with beautiful Western Red Cedar to ensure sturdy construction and longevity, so you can trust that your cupola will be with you for the long run. We even offer  board and batten bases for the ultimate in rustic authenticity.

Vinyl

When it comes to maintenance, our vinyl cupolas simply cannot be beat. Fashioned from materials world renowned for withstanding weather and age, you can bid farewell to the downfalls of typical building materials; flaking, yellowing, splitting, cracking and warping will never worry you again. With unparalleled resilience and the ability to resemble most other materials out there, vinyl cupolas are a wise choice for the forward thinker.

Metal

Our metal Sundance cupolas are a sight to behold. They can be custom made with a wide variety of color options to choose from, so you’ll never be at a loss when trying to find the perfect match for your favorite house, garage, shed or barn. Worried about roof pitch inconsistency? Whenever we sell a metal Sundance cupola, we make cuts to match its destination roof pitch precisely, so your installation will be as easy as 1-2-3!
