Dome Kit l Simplifying Dome Ceiling Construction with a Dome Kit

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

ACME FRAME DOME 300x209 Dome Kit l Simplifying Dome Ceiling Construction with a Dome KitA dome ceiling is a beautiful architectural gem that quickly adds value to any home. However, the problem has been affordably adding these gems given the labor skills and time required along with the lumber needed to construct on site. Luckily, Archways & Ceilings has solved this problem with their quick, easy, and affordable dome kits. Let’s answer the following questions. How does a dome kit from Archways & Ceilings compare to building a dome on site? How much skill is required to install an Archways & Ceilings dome kit? How much time is required to install an Archways & Ceilings dome kit?

DRYWALL DOME 14 300x207 Dome Kit l Simplifying Dome Ceiling Construction with a Dome KitDome ceilings historically have been very expensive to achieve given the extensive labor and material required. For example, if you were to build a 6 foot dome ceiling, you could safely wager that this would take two skilled carpenters eight hours to build at about $60 dollars an hour. So, labor alone would be just shy of $500. When you look at the lumber bill needed to build this 6 foot dome you would be close to $600 at a minimum. However, if you used a dome kit from Archways & Ceilings, the kit itself would run you $329.95. This is almost half the cost of just the materials. Secondly, our 6 foot dome kit would install in less than 30 minutes. Yes, we are not exaggerating. We have an you tube video of a local framer installing in less than 10 minutes. We have simplified the construction process so drastically that if you can pull the trigger on a nail gun and paint by color than chances are good that you could install our dome kits. Let’s recap. You can either build a dome ceiling on site at a minimum cost to you for $1,100, OR you can buy a dome kit from Archways & Ceilings and install for less than $400.

A dome ceiling built on site has traditionally taken a few days to build along with requiring a great deal of plywood and lumber along with a very skilled carpenter.  However, a dome ceiling kit by Archways & Ceilings installs in less than 30 minutes.  We accomplish this by eliminating the prep work along with the time to cut the rafters and outer ring. It is now as simple as putting the correct preformed curved rafter in place and then fastening together.  If you can paint by numbers, then you can install a dome ceiling. Just to further illustrate how easy it truly is, we have had several DIYers install a dome ceiling successfully in a home renovation project.

Preformed foam and/or plaster dome ceilings are just as expensive as traditionally building them on site if not more expensive.  Furthermore, you have to build your homes around their measurements as they are unable to easily customize.
