Cupolas

A Whirlwind of cupolas: the classy accessory

Cupolas have long been one of the most desirable decorative elements for a home, and now that need has increased due to its double functionality that allows it to serve as the housing for a standard weathervane too! Not only will your new cupola look good, but it will serve a great purpose too.

How does the weathervane mounting inside cupolas work?

The cupola is structurally designed to house a standard weathervane within its inner structure. By allowing the weathervane to simply slot in, it eliminates the need for standard weathervane mounting apparatus. There is no fuss involved, and you don’t even need to secure anything down.

Choosing a matching copper finish

The cupola has a stylish copper roof that matches the carefully handcrafted copper from which the weathervanes are made, and by choosing a finish that matches on both pieces of copper you will essentially create an artistically and aesthetically pleasing combination.

Copper Weathervanes

Copper weathervanes and the different finishes available

Weathervanes made from copper offer a range of stylish finishes. Untreated, your copper weathervanes will first turn a natural rich brown color over time, and then progress into the next stage of ageing which produces a natural green patina finish.

Jumping the queue with the green patina finish

The natural green color attributed to aged copper suggests class and style, and thus is more desirable by some people than the shiny finish. In this case you can opt to speed up the ageing process through a patina application and receive your weathervane already aged!

Sealing your copper weathervanes with a shiny enamel

Alternatively you can opt to seal in the long lasting shine on your copper vane and go for the more modern enamel finish. This will make your weathervane retain its initial gloss and shine for much longer, thus delaying the ageing process.

Wind vanes: the installation process

Installing your wind vanes is an easy process that needs to be followed carefully so as to make sure that the wind vane will always work. First of all, you need to find a secure place to affix your vane to, and this place needs to be away from any obstructions that could interfere with a blowing wind. It is for this reason that most people install their vanes above their homes, garages or barns.

Buying the correct mounting for your wind vanes

There are a range of different mounting options for your vane, such as side mounting (to install the vane off of the side of your home) or top mounting which is the most common. Make sure that you choose a mounting that suits your purpose, and that is the correct size for your weathervane.

The cupola: an alternative mounting apparatus

The cupola is a stylish housing that not only looks great, but provides a secure housing for your vane – this means that you do not have to purchase additional wind vane mounting apparatus if you purchase the cupola.
