Vinyl, as reported by the industry, is known as the “world’s most versatile plastic,” having been discovered by a rubber scientist in the 1920s. Soon after its discovery, PVC products such as industrial wire, raincoats and shower curtains hit the market. By the 1930s, vinyl was being used in dozens of applications, both commercial and industrial. During World War II, vinyl was used aboard ships to coat wires, as opposed to using rubber. PVC soon became a staple of the construction trades. Around that same time, post WWII, Vinyl cupolas came into fashion as an adornment to roofs on houses and a variety of other structures. Today, vinyl is reported as the second largest selling plastic in the world.
Vinyl cupolas are constructed of “solid expanded rigid vinyl” or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). Vinyl cupolas do not rot, absorb moisture, cup, craze, weather split or delaminate. Vinyl cupolas are not affected by weather, humidity or insects -- an important consideration when deciding what type of material to use. |
