Smithsonian Fairfax Vinyl Cupola

A good rule of thumb is to select a cupola that provides 1.5 inches of width for every foot of your roofline length. This ensures the proportions look balanced and architecturally sound against your home.

Yes, the Royal Brand Solid Cellular PVC vinyl is designed to accept exterior acrylic latex paint. This allows you to customize the finish to coordinate perfectly with your existing color scheme.

The premium pure copper roof is designed to develop a natural, protective patina over time as it is exposed to the elements. If you prefer to keep the bright, metallic finish, you would need to apply a specialized copper sealant, though most owners allow it to age naturally.

The Fairfax cupola is designed to be cut on-site to accommodate roof pitches up to 10/12. This allows for a precise, custom fit against the slope of your specific roof.

The optional solar light is integrated into the cupola design to provide automatic, eco-friendly illumination at night. It charges during the day and turns on once the sun sets, adding a functional glow to your roofline without the need for hardwired electrical work.

The cupola arrives as a kit that requires assembly using the included hardware. It is constructed with reinforced rafters and heavy-duty staples to ensure structural integrity once put together.
