Stained Glass Domes and Stained Glass ceilings are comprised of two elements in essence: a steelframe that is configured into divisions or sections, and of course the beautiful stained glass panels. The glass panels are curved to give a true domed shape that is more pleasing to the eye and senses. These are magnificent architecturalart glass elements that will draw you in once discovered in a room. This is a truly hand made curved frame, and the glass panels are built on a radius. Unlike the kit domes that are segmented in straight sections that appear to be built on a curve. We can design and fabricate any size or radius art glass dome.
18' diameter steel frame in the opening prior to the final installation of 33 stained glass panels. Back lighted from above with either fluorescent light or LED lights. The steel frame structure is built on a radius and hand welded together. It is a light in weight, but very strong. The stained glass panels can installed from the top side or from below on scaffolding. The frame is divided into 2 main sections, so that it can go up into the opening without any problems.
