COMMONLY ASKED CUPOLA QUESTIONS
Q. What is a Cupola?
A. A Cupola is a charming and distinctive architectural accent that is mounted atop a roof. Years ago, before electric fans or climate control devices, cupolas were used to ventilate barns to keep live stock and crops cool in summer. Although cupolas are still used functionally today, the majority of them are chosen by home owners and architects as decorative accents to enhance the home, garage, barn, shed or gazebo.
Q. What is a Castle Cupola?
A. Castle Cupolas are impressive, elegantly designed cupolas of distinction. The overall height to width ratio accentuates these dynamic cupolas, making them the crowning glory to any outdoor structure. New Directions Castle Cupolas are designed for roofs with a pitch up to 12" rise per foot (known as 12/12" pitch). Most roofs are not steeper than this. However, if the roof pitch is steeper than 12/12 pitch, it is important to order the extension base at the same time you order your cupola.
Q. How do I know the pitch of my roof?
A. The roof pitch refers to the angle or steepness of your roof. Simply use a carpenter’s square to record the angle (rise) of your roof.
Q. How do I know if an extension base is need on my Cupola?
A. Our vinyl and wood cupolas are designed for a roof pitch up to 10" rise per foot (known as 10/12" pitch). Most roofs are not steeper than this. However, if the roof pitch is steeper than 10/12 pitch, it is important to order the extension base at the same time you order your cupola.
Q. Can I paint my vinyl Cupola?
A. Yes, you can paint your Good Directions vinyl cupola with 100% acrylic latex paint. Choose a paint with a light reflective value (LVR) of 55 or higher. No special surface preparations are required prior to painting, but please make sure that the surfaces are clean and dry. Note: Once you paint your vinyl cupola it is no longer considered maintenance free.
Q. How do I cover the hole in the top of the Cupola?
A. Good Directions, Inc. supplies a Hole Plug Kit to cover the hole at the top of your cupola. Please request the Hole Plug Kit when you order your cupola.
Q. Which size Cupola best fits my garage or home?
A. This is the simple rule for selecting the correct cupola size: 1.5" of copper cupola roof for every foot of uninterrupted ridgeline. To feel more confident about choosing the right size cupola for your roof, find a cardboard box that is close in size to the cupola that is determined by the 1.5" rule. Next, cut a V-shape in the box based on the angle of your roof. Then simply place the box on your roof. Now you can visually determine if the size is perfect or if you should choose a larger or smaller cupola.
Q. Should I be concerned about the height of the Cupola?
A. No. All cupolas are designed and built to the proportion of the base size.
Q. Which style Cupola should I choose for my garage or home?
A. Good Directions cupolas come in the widest variety of styles, from traditional to contemporary. | |
