Hey guys today is the full release of all of my creative work in Aspects of Tulsa #3 - Copper Cupola Creation. This was a 4 part miniseries and I proudly present this work as my greatest compilation yet. Special thanks to Mr. Tyler for allowing us to not only invade his workspace and video his meticulous creation of a copper cupola, but also for allowing us to use his own music on these videos as his work comes to life. If you'd prefer not to watch the videos the full blog on this subject can be found below the videos. Thanks so much for watching and or reading this post and i appreciate all of you for participation in the blockchain technology that is here right now.
We have had the luxury of dealing with a Tulsa copper company in Tulsa Oklahoma. This is a very detailed description on how this company creates a copper cupola. Starting from just a very simple sheet of copper. This series will show us how to get all the way to the beautiful artwork you see on top of many of the roofs all around the world.
Your upvote counts here- In case you were wondering why an upvote is so important to the post that are out and about here on the steemit blockchain. I'll give you a small synopsis of how things work. Basically - Content generator (me) posts content on the blockchain. Then some person let’s say you for example(with x reputation) comes along and sees said content. That person then decides whether that content is relevant or not. Upon the conclusion that said content is relevant this person desires for the rest of the blockchain to know that it is relevant information and their ability to do so is called an upvote. Once that upvote is given to the content generator it shows other people on the blockchain that there is an opinion on the content and that maybe they should check it out. Since this information is stored on the chain as well as followers/comments etc, and is irremovable. These people and content creations are essentially deciding the importance of relevant information and confirming to each other that fact. So Please if you find this information to be relevant (which all hand crafted works of art in my opinion are) then use the power of the upvote to help keep this craft alive in this ever evolving blockchain of history!

A Cupola Great Details
H. Lozano
There are several ways to add detail and curb appeal to your home. Many homeowners focus on what is immediately visible as you walk on the sidewalk: landscaping, paint color or a wreath on the front door. An often neglected piece of the home, in regards to attention to detail, is the roof. The roof is a piece that can be mundane. It does a job and is thus considered more of a practical functional piece rather than a form that can draw the eye and show off the home or business owner’s sense of taste and refinement. A cupola, no matter the size is an element that can dramatically increase a building’s sense of décor and beauty. Architectural Roofing and Sheet Metal of Tulsa, Oklahoma has a range of designs and styles that can accommodate any size roof. In addition, they use Copper, a metal known for its strength, durability and beauty so the buyer can rest assured they are receiving quality when adding this gorgeous facet to their structures: a piece of art local in Tulsa- Copper Cupolas.
A Couploa Things You’ll Need to Know
A cupola is composed of tiers. Traditionally, it is formed from a small roof or dome on top of a larger structure, then placed on a roof. They are typically placed toward the center of the roof in order to add a height and detail to a building. Often, a weather vane is placed on top of the cupola structure but a finial can also cap the miniature roof to top the piece. Architecture Roofing and Sheet Metal of Tulsa’s Copper Cupolas are either square or octagonal at the base. The bases are composed of a shutter like design called louvers, meaning it is sectioned with multiple horizontal planes that allow air to flow through the cupola itself. These planes are framed by the option of single or double arches for a squared design while a single arch is available for the octagonal design. The top, or roof of the cupola comes in either a bell shape- an accurate description as the roof contains lovely curves, or a traditional shape which is a pyramid of swooped triangles. The traditional design is more angular while the bell is curved. Both are beautiful- the preference given to which ever style suits your home’s structure and design best. Atop of the roof is a gem shape that appears to be skewered in the center of a spike. This adds a sense of finesse and completion to the beautiful designs offered by Architectural Roofing and Sheet Metal of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Sizes range from 18” x 18” to 47” x 47”. The starting cost for one of these attractive designs is $1832.50, but varies depending on the chosen design. This accessory adds a lot of charm (and ventilation) to the home.
More Bang For Your Buck
One question that seems reasonable when discussing a cupola is, why spend money to accessorize a roof? The simple answer to this question: the more beautiful the property, the more value it holds. According to Than Merrill of Fortune Builders, “The median home price for Tulsa real estate [in 2016] was $152,700 during the second quarter, compared to the national average of $239,167” (fortunbuilders.com). Additionally, home appreciation is well below the national average. This region’s real estate market is one of the top most affordable in the country- great news for those looking to purchase a home. Though this seems like a less than exciting prognosis for comparable property values for the seller, one thing is clear- Tulsa homes are in need of features that give them an edge that helps them stand out in a market that favors the buyers.
Curb appeal plays a huge roll in determining property value. A survey from the National Association of REALATORS stated: Ninety- six percent of realtors suggest sellers improve their curb appeal before listing a home for sale. In a suburban landscape there are very few home additions that can be done to truly differentiate a home from the ground level, but even in Tulsa Copper Cupolas can make a big impact when helping a home stand out. Additionally, a new roof recoups eighty percent of its value when the home is sold- a beautiful detail like a cupola aids in the impression of a move-in ready home verses a less appealing fixer-upper. Cupolas aren’t just for those thinking of selling their homes. They add a lot of character that a home or business owner can enjoy and be proud of.
Why Copper
Less expensive cupola models are certainly available on the market. These are composed of wood or vinyl, typically. With less expensive options, why choose copper? The answer is- quality! Copper is a strong and durable material. Many homes throughout Green Country are effected by the difficult weather patterns experienced in each season. The material best suited for handling the wind and snow is a time tested, durable but attractive metal. In Tulsa, Copper Cupolas can stand up to the storm. Copper is strong, and does not lose its integrity based on temperature like many other metals. It is light so the additional weight is easily bore on the roof weather standing strong in the sun or burdened by snow.
The designs of Architectural Roofing and Sheet Metal of Tulsa’s Copper Cupolas are both beautiful and durable. The attention to detail this business provides will ensure a strong and appealing product for those looking for a charming addition to their rooftops. The range of design also holds great appeal, as the size and shape of the cupola can be customized to the home owners’ structure as well as their individual taste. By adding beauty homeowners also add desirability to their homes- a needed element for sellers in Tulsa’s competitive market. The use of copper versus other materials also serves to prove the intentionality of Architectural Roofing and Sheet Metal of Tulsa, Oklahoma’s commitment to a quality product.
