3/11/2022

When it comes to shopping for a cupola, options abound. You could choose a louvered cupola with a black concave roof, a window cupola with a glowing lantern, or anything in between! Here at Valley Forge Cupolas, we have a vast selection of styles and colors to pick from, but today we’ll be discussing the most foundational options at your disposal: the very materials used to construct your cupola in the first place! So, what do you think? Wood, vinyl, or metal: which cupola material is right for you?

The Value Of Vinyl

If you’re looking for a cupola that will stand the test of time with minimal maintenance, our vinyl cupolas are the choice for you. Made from the highest quality Azek vinyl, these cupolas are engineered to last; polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is used worldwide for its longevity, durability and versatility, so when you pick up one of our vinyl cupolas, you’re getting a friend for life!

The Wonder Of Wood

For the ultimate in rustic beauty, wood simply cannot be beat. From its smell and texture to the uniqueness of its grain and knots, wood creates an ambience unlike any other. At Valley Forge Cupolas, we take great pride in the beauty of our wood cupolas. All of our wood cupolas are lovingly handcrafted from the finest Western Red Cedar, resulting in a finished product that’s nothing short of breathtaking!

The Mettle of Metal

If you have a metal building on your property that could use a tasteful accent, our line of Sundance cupolas will work wonderfully! Made of PVC with a metal roof and base, each of our nine different styles is available in over twenty different colors, so creating a unique custom cupola is as easy as 1-2-3. Our Sundance cupolas can easily be cut to match the pitch of your roof, so installation will be a breeze.
