Our Cupola
Specifications
All Country Classics Cupolas are
built to provide ventilation.
Whether you choose one of our glass towered cupolas,
or a louvered cupola version, this ventilation provided
by the cupola reduces heat and moisture in the attic area of the
building. Therefore, the roofing structure of your building will
have a longer lifespan.

Models built to the heights
listed here, will accommodate
up to an 8/12 roof pitch. For a roof pitch that
is greater
than an 8/12, a High Profile cupola, is needed.
Custom sizes are also available upon request

and can vary slightly between Bell Top,
Pagoda Top and Square Cupolas.
A High Profile cupola, will weigh more, due to
additional material
used in construction. |

How are Country Classics Cupolas made?
Our Cupolas are built using 3/4 marine plywood (designed
for the boating industry) for all components, used in the
construction of each cupola.
We use a two part marine epoxy, as the adhesive for all
joinery, in each cupola.
All components of the cupola are primed and painted with
either EnviroCoatings Ceramic Insulcoat (satin finish) or
Devoe Devflex 100%Acrylic Paint ( semi gloss), both inside as well as outside, to
ensure a lasting and durable finish.
During assembly of our cupolas, all seams and joints are
sealed with a paintable caulking, to properly seal each
cupola, against damaging leaks, that could hasten
deterioration, thus shortening the life of the cupola.
When a custom colour is needed for your cupola, all we
need is a sample of the colour that you would like, and we can
match that colour, so that your cupola will suit the colour
schemes of your setting.
Each cupola roof has a wooden substructure that is clad
with a 16oz roofing copper, available in three finishes:
Natural, which will tarnish and eventually become a rich
patina green. Polished and Lacquered, which will keep the
copper bright and shiny, on your cupola. Pre-aged, or patina
finish, that will give your cupola that look of heritage
Our cupolas are fitted with a shaft, securely mounted
into the cupola roof, designed to accept a weathervane,
giving your cupola that finishing touch.
Should a finial be preferred to complete your
cupola, we have a wide selection to choose from.
