Church Steeples, Fiberglass Steeples,Cupolas, Weathervanes
The photo on the left shows an older small church in Memphis, TV on Jackson Ave. in 1990. It was the inspiration for the cupola style church steeple we designed for this small church in Cordova, TN. We added a bell and an electronic chime system. Campbellsville built the new cupola/steeple for us. It has a cross on top. The church later sold and the steeple was sold separately moved to another location.
Architectural Fiberglass, Inc. (AFI) of Cleveland, Ohio custom designs and manufactures decorative Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) ornamentation for the restoration, reproduction, and new construction industries. Architectural Fiberglass, Inc. has had over 15 years of experience manufacturing, designing, and installing, fiberglass steeples. Architectural Fiberglass provides customers with designs, drawings, patterns, molds, and fiberglass steeple parts. Architectural Fiberglass Inc. originally specialized in the manufacture of fiberglass domes and cupolas for commercial and religious institutions. The company was founded when the owner was faced with the dilemma of replacing badly deteriorated and fading aluminum domes on his own religious institution. After thorough research of different materials it was determined that fiberglass would be the best suitable material for the aluminum dome replacement. When the company was founded, not many other companies wanted to manufacture and erect such massive dome and cupola structures. Architectural Fiberglass, Inc. has since become a leader in dome and cupola replacements. Throughout the years Architectural Fiberglass, Inc. has manufactured domes and cupolas that have spanned in excess of 40’in diameter and have had heights that exceed 60’. New fiberglass steeples can replicate existing metal or wood steeples. Fiberglass steeples can be manufactured any size. The lightweight steeple does not require extra structural support. Fiberglass products are radio frequency transparent and at times chosen to house cellular antennas within the steeple. www.fiberglass-afi.com

Campbellsville Industries-The Steeple People - Prefabricated Church steeples, cupolas and more. Campbellsville, KY. I can happily report that about 10 yrs ago, in pre-internet days, I was allowed to design a small church steeple and Campbellsville Industries made our small church steeple for us. They were a delight to work with and everything came off with out a hitch. Our small church lacked architectural character, so Campbellsville made us a nicely detailed and well proportioned aluminum steeple with a cupola style base and a visible bell in it. We had electronic chimes installed in the church to help call attention to our little start-up church in the growing suburban location. We chose an aluminum steeple because to us, a fiberglass steeple always looks rather common and plastic when compared to a built-up steeple. www.cvilleindustries.com

Cupolas and Weathervanes
A cupola is an ornamental dome-shaped structure placed in a prominent position on the top of a larger roof or dome. Cupolas have a long history as popular adornments to many architectural structures. From residential barns to grand cathedrals, cupolas provide aesthetic appeal and function. Cupolas can be traced to mosques of Islamic architecture where they were used for venting. European cupolas were turret shaped often having six, eight, ten or more sides. Square cupolas became popular in America to vent barns or homes and to allow airflow and light into a room. Since air conditioning, cupolas have become less functional and more decorative in nature. Cupolas have long been used on church structures, universities, banks, and historically on government buildings.
General Cupola Size Rule: 1" of cupola base for every 1 foot of uninterrupted roof ridge line.
Summit Copper Cupolas--This company makes all sorts of building components from copper including copper cupolas made with 16 oz copper. Copper cupolas not only add beauty to your architecture, but also provide additional ventilation for attic space. They can make copper cupolas handcrafted to your specifications. Copper will last a lifetime and does not rot like wood, rust like steel, or crack like clay. Copper cupolas provide an elegant finishing touch to classic architecture and traditional barns. Copper Summit can give your cupola an aged green copper look for an extra charge. Copper Cupolas are shipped in 3 sections (the top, the louver section, and the base). http://www.coppersummitinc.com

Lighting protection can also be incorporated in a cross or finial on top of the cupola.
