Collection: Cupolas

Our cupolas are designed to fit up to a 10/12 roof pitch. Anything steeper than 10/12, such as 11/12, 12/12, and beyond, can be accommodated, provided we know the pitch. This way, we can add more material to the base at the manufacturing plant to ensure it will work correctly for your roof pitch.

Yes, you can paint our cupolas. We suggest using a primer and 100% exterior grade acrylic paint on the vinyl since it is lightweight and adheres tightly to the vinyl. Thick paint can eventually flake off, so using the right type of paint is important. Two coats of paint, preferably applied as a spray, will work well. Yes, you can customize our cupolas to match the color and finish of your building.

Our 18 and 36 inch cupolas typically weigh between 40 and 200 lbs. They come in three parts, making them easy to handle and install. However, for 30 inch and larger cupolas, we recommend having at least two people handle them for the safety of the people handling them and to ensure that the product is not damaged.

Good Directions cupolas are suitable for residential and commercial buildings, adding aesthetic value to any property.

We provide an installation video and PDF/printed instructions to help install our cupolas. However, because the installation involves working on a roof and drilling holes in it, we highly recommend that you hire a carpenter with the necessary skills to install the cupola safely and correctly. However, if you have the necessary skills and feel confident in your ability to install the cupola safely and correctly, then our instructions will certainly be helpful in guiding you through the process.

Yes, you can add lighting to our cupolas, especially the windowed ones. Many of our customers do so, as it can look beautiful at night. However, please note that we currently do not offer lighting options. The crossbar in the roof cavity should provide a suitable mounting point for a lighting unit.

Yes, copper roofs on cupolas will naturally patina over time, but this process will not harm the durability or performance of the roof.

We offer a lifetime warranty for our vinyl cupolas, while our wood cupolas come with a one-year warranty. While the lifespan of our cupolas can vary depending on factors such as weather conditions and maintenance, both our vinyl and wood cupolas are designed and built to last for many years. With proper care and maintenance, our cupolas can be enjoyed for decades to come.
