Know before you buy
The base of the cupola is designed to be trimmed by your installer to match the specific angle of your roof. This ensures a precise, flush fit against your roofline for up to a 10/12 pitch.
The genuine copper roof begins with a bright, metallic finish and will naturally weather over time. It will eventually develop a classic blue-verde patina, which provides a protective layer while adding a timeless, aged aesthetic.
Yes, the cupola is constructed from high-quality cellular PVC vinyl, which is resistant to rot, moisture, and insects. It is designed to withstand the elements without the maintenance requirements of traditional wood.
The cupola arrives in sections to ensure safe transport and requires straightforward assembly on-site. Detailed instructions are provided to guide you through the process.
Yes, this model is structurally reinforced to support a weather vane. You will need to ensure you have the appropriate mounting bracket or base to secure the vane to the top of the copper roof.
The screening is integrated into the louvered sections to allow for proper ventilation while preventing bees, wasps, and other pests from nesting inside the cupola.
