A Weathervane and Cupola Adding Value to Your Home

The weathervane and cupola have been around for hundreds, even thousands of years. Adorning the tops of historic buildings and modern homes alike, their is no question, a weathervane and cupola will add not only value to your home, but that extra curb appeal that can be enjoyed by all.


Depending on your style or architectural taste, will determine what type of cupola you choose. Companies offer more traditional louvered cupola options as well as windowed cupola styles. Some offer more elegant cupolas featuring beautiful crown moldings, and other trim used often on modern homes in the building industry.
 


Selecting the weathervane can be tough choice. You can always go with the traditional rooster or eagle weathervane, but online retailers offer such a vast selection for every taste. Perusing the internet sites I came across a wine bottle weathervane, various sailboat and ship weathervanes, motorcycles, dozens of birds and other animals, the possibilities are endless. If you still can't find the perfrct weathervane for your, you can even choose a company to build you a custom weathervane. With this option, the possibilities are endless. If after searching out weathervanes, you just find you don't want to go this route, consider a copper finial atop your cupola. Copper finials carry great elegance and style when adorned on a cupola roof.
