Natural Light Solution: Cupolas

MarinaHanes ~ 18 June 2009

What are cupolas? These are roof structures that accessorize the tops of Colonial homes as well as garages, barns and even business buildings. There are a variety of styles, so they can match a traditional or contemporary home.

The purpose of a cupola is to decorate a plain roofline, increase natural light and provide ventilation. If you have a stuffy attic, this structure can help release hot hair. In addition, it can give you more daylight in comparison to a skylight, but this is also dependent on its design.

Bar Harbor Weathervanes and Cupolas sell this cypress cupola with a copper roof, which also has crown molding and is weathervane ready. This particular design has windows on all sides, which will increase the amount of light in your home. It comes in five available sizes, and you can even customize your cupola to meet your needs, especially if you prefer cedar or PVC.
