Most of the time, domes are framed flushwith your ceiling and rise up into your attic space. Occasionally, builders will fur down a faux ceiling if they do not have sufficientroom in the attic space or if framed undera second floor. When framing the box for your dome ceiling, it is important to take note of the placement of the dome relative to the pitch of the roof so it willnot extend beyond the roof rafters.

If you have any inquiries about the placement of the dome relative to the pitch of the roof, please enlist our “2D or 3D CAD Me” services to becertain.

4Determine your location. The dome ceiling kit will be labeled with the location of where it will be installed. This will ensure accurate placement during installation.

Inner Light RingsInner light rings are an easy way to addindirect lighting to your dome ceiling.

Please note that when adding an inner light ring, the finished opening in yourceiling will be smaller than the rough opening by 1’-0”. This is due to the fact that all inner light rings are framed 6“ in from the outer ring. Therefore, depending on the circle you want visible from the floor looking into the dome, you may want to add a foot to your box to offset the one foot you will lose when adding an inner light ring.
