5 Essential Steps for Choosing Residential Rooftop Cupolas for Sale

Apr 21, 2021

When selecting the right cupolas for sale, property owners need to pay attention to the details. What makes cupolas eye-catching and interesting is little details and choosing the correct size. Working with professionals is important when selecting a cupola style, but so is having a little information before making the purchase. Read more below about how to buy the perfect rooftop cupola.

Choose the Shape

Cupolas come in three shapes: octagon, square, and hexagon. Consider the home's architecture when selecting a shape.

Louvers Panels or Windows

Homeowners who want to include lights in their cupola should choose windows. Louvered cupolas require less maintenance and keep birds and other critters from building nests inside the space.

Determine the Size

A cupola that's too big will stand out like a sore thumb, but one that's too small might disappear behind the roofline. Perfectly sized cupolas should be no more than 1?-1½" at the base for each foot of the home's roofline. Ask the installer to make recommendations based on their assessment.

Choose the Materials

Many people choose AZEK® style cupolas because they can be painted and customized to match the home. However, this style isn't entirely maintenance-free. Homeowners who don't want to worry about upkeep often prefer vinyl cupolas because they're easier to maintain and clean.

Choose the Cupola Roof Material

Cupolas have roof material too. The most common roofing material to choose from includes bell cooper, concave copper, straight copper, and asphalt.
