The Good Directions Castle Style Rockingham Cupolas
Good Directions, the #1 source of high-quality, exquisitely designed, functional copper accessories for home and garden, introduces the Rockingham Cupolas to our customers. A departure from the traditional, these ornamental vinyl cupolas feature a Hip Style Copper Roof, a Window Paned Mid-Section, and a Shiplap Vinyl Base. Although they can be used for ventilation, these cupolas are generally used for decorative purposes and add a charming and distinctive architectural accent atop your roof. The Hip Style roof is designed to accent homes with traditional roof lines and general straight line architecture.
The Good Directions Castle Style Rockingham Cupolas: About the Roof
The Copper Roof of the Rockingham Cupola is both visually appealing and structurally sound. The roof is made from 16-ounce, 24-gauge unfinished copper, so the roof will patina beautifully over time. Supporting the copper roof, is a wooden base treated to withstand moisture, rotting, and insect damage.
The Good Directions Castle Style Rockingham Cupolas: About the Mid-Section
The mid-section of the Rockingham vinyl cupolas features a Window Paned ventilation system. The mid-section is constructed of high quality PVC, which is more durable and rugged than natural wood, and virtually maintenance-free. As a bonus, the vinyl, if treated with vinyl primer first, can be painted to match the exterior of your home.
The Good Directions Castle Style Rockingham Cupolas: About the Base
The Shiplap Vinyl Base of the Rockingham Cupola offers functionality with a decorative touch. The base is designed to accept a 12/12 pitch (12” rise per foot). However if the roof pitch is steeper than a 12/12 pitch, you will need to order the available extension base. The product includes all instructions and hardware needed for easy installation.
The Good Directions Castle Style Rockingham Cupolas: Attaching a Weathervane or Finial
The Rockingham Cupola is weathervane or finial ready. The top of the cupola has a hole, which can accept up to a 1” weathervane or finial post. Inside the roof, a bracket attaches the post to the cupola for additional fortification. Due to the height to width ratio of all castle cupolas, we do recommend purchasing an extension post for your weathervane.
The Good Directions Castle Style Rockingham Cupolas: What Size is Right for Your Home
When selecting the right size Cupola for your home or business, there is a good rule of thumb to follow; use 1.5 inches of cupola for every foot of unbroken roofline. For example, if a roof section measures 24 feet, the minimum cupola size should be approximately 36 inches square. For a more dramatic effect, or if a cupola larger than 60 inches square is needed, consider using two cupolas on the roofline. Should you choose to use two cupolas, the rule of thumb changes to one (1) inch of cupola for every foot of unbroken roofline. For example, if a roof section measures 24 feet, the minimum size of each cupola should be approximately 24 inches square. These beautiful Rockingham Cupolas come in the following sizes:
- 24” Sq x 53” H
- 28” Sq x 63” H
- 32” Sq x 71” H
- 38” Sq x 85” H
