This cupola is more than just a pretty accoutrement; it also provides attic ventilation which can extend the life of roofing shingles.

Country Classics Cupolas creates custom cupolas in a wide array of styles and designs. Standard sizes range from 2 to 8 feet in diameter. Custom sizes also are available.

The cupolas are made with marine-grade plywood. The bell or pagoda roofs are covered with 16-ounce copper, available in aged, polished or natural finish. The cupola sides (windows) can be fitted with glass or louvers. They are guaranteed to withstand winds up to 130 mph.
