Cupola

The magnificent cupola – what exactly is it?

The cupola is a wonderful architectural accent that looks a little like a small bell tower or farmyard barn. It attaches to the pinnacle or top point of a building, and serves to safely ventilate the room below it. Nowadays though, it is also used to provide a secure structural point in which you can anchor your weathervane.

A cupola and weathervane combination: a sure winner!

Anchoring your weathervane into this structure will provide you with all of the necessary stability that you may require for your weathervane. It will also elevate your weathervane above other structures, which means that the pointer will always deliver accurate readings. Aside from the practical functions, this combination will also look really stylish, so it is the perfect addition to any home.

How is it suited to house a weathervane?

Inside of the wooden structure there is a specific mounting piece that is specially designed so that a standard weathervane can simply slot in securely. This means that you do not have to mount the weathervane directly onto your roof.

Cupolas

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Cupolas: an old architectural accent with a new function

Cupolas have been used throughout history as an accent that ventilates the room below it. Structured like a bell tower, there are specific openings for wind to enter and move down gently into the room below. With the modern advent of air conditioners, the cupola has now got a new function: it securely houses the weathervane.

How does a weathervane pointer work?

The weathervane pointer is a carefully balanced instrument that spins on its axis with the slightest hint of a breeze, and settles in the direction that the wind is coming from. This is because all winds are named from their source direction, and the alignment with the pointer and the compass points beneath it make it easy to name the wind quickly.

What are cupolas made from nowadays?

You can get a cupola made from almost anything, but a top quality cupola is made from top quality components, like pine or cedar wood and copper detailing for overall aesthetic appeal.

Cupola and Weathervane

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

The winning cupola and weathervane combination

The cupola is an architectural accent that has been used for centuries to ventilate rooms and buildings, but also to lift a weathervane up higher than any other part of the building. This pointer needs to be higher because in order for an accurate reading to occur, there cannot be any obstacles nearby. Together the cupola and weathervane have been making homes, barns, sheds and garages look great, as well as providing a much needed function.

How does the pointer actually work?

The pointer is a carefully balanced instrument that spins on its axis with any wind that might catch it. Because of the way that it is balanced, the pointer ends up facing into the source direction of the blowing wind. This is so that the wind can be easily named, as all winds are named from their source, and not their destination as it is commonly believed.

The stylish cupola and weathervane combo: outdoor décor

So many people spend their money on decorating the interior of their homes, with little regard for the exterior. Now you can make your home look sophisticated and stylish with this great combination of good looks and practical functionality.

Copper Weathervane

Friday, June 15th, 2007

The copper weathervane design revolution

The copper weathervane is an instrument that has been used for hundreds of years to name blowing winds, and over the years the instruments have changed and evolved. Nowadays copper weathervanes are undergoing a design revolution, and where roosters and arrows used to point out a wind, now almost anything can do it instead!

What exactly does the pointer do?

The pointer is the instrument that actually points out the wind. It is made from copper which is both durable and light weight, and allows the pointer to spin on its axis in order to point out the wind accurately. It points into the source direction of a blowing wind so that the wind can be named easily. It is a carefully balanced instrument, with the overall balance coming from the actual design of the pointer.

Have some fun with your copper weathervane

Give that rooster the boot, and replace it with a new pointer that is twice as much fun. You can choose anything from a heron to a horse, and even a magical Chinese dragon!
