Making a Stained Glass Dome
Stained glass domes from Stained Glass Inc. are constructed by using a modular design process that is intended to make the manufacturing and installation process for these domes as easy and fast as possible. The other advantage to using this modular design process is that every stained glass dome we make is essentially a custom product for our clients.

Stained Glass Dome Shapes
Although you may think that a stained glass dome has to be dome shaped, these stained glass features can actually be manufactured in any shape to fit any existing space in your structure. This enables you to minimize or even skip any construction in order to add that stained glass dome.

Our custom stained glass dome shapes include:

  • Round

In addition to the shape and size, we also offer a way to add the stained glass dome so that it fits with an existing skylight or opening in your structure. The other option is to incorporate one of our LED backlit structures so you can still enjoy the stained glass dome without having to rely on natural light or for nighttime illumination. These features also can be incorporated with any shape you want for your stained glass dome.

Stained Glass Domes in Any Size

Stained glass domes come in any size.

This colorful stained glass dome design can be created in any size imaginable.

 

Custom Sizes for Stained Glass Domes
Stained glass domes provide a dramatic look to any building with its varied color and light displays as the sun or artificial light source shines on it. You may think that you must have a large space to include a stained glass dome. However, these stained glass domes can be customized to fit just about any space, inspiring viewers and lifting moods.

Things to Consider When Measuring
When you are thinking about adding a stained glass dome, there are some things to think about as you measure:

  • Will the stained glass dome be an interior dome below a skylight, a stained glass exterior dome gazebo, or an interior stained glass dome that sits below a light box? This will change the custom size you need.
  • Where will you be adding this beautiful ceiling? All architectural elements need to be sized to be proportionate to one another so you want to make sure you create a custom size of stained glass dome that is a similar size to any other elements in the structure. This way, the stained glass dome will not dominate the room or be lost in the scope and space of the area.

Creating a Custom Size for a Stained Glass Dome
Our catalogue for stained glass domes has an extensive array of domes sizes in various shapes. However, that is not all we offer because we realize that not every space will be a standard size. That’s when we work with clients to create a custom size designed to fit their ceiling or gazebo.

Having this design freedom to create a custom size provides a way for anyone to add this spectacular architectural element to their building whether that is a restaurant, casino, pool room, hotel or entry just to name a few applications. Along with the custom size, you can also create your own unique design and color combination for the stained glass.

Creating a custom size does not have to be expensive. That’s because Stained Glass Inc. offers studio direct pricing on all stained glass domes along with easy installation thanks to its modular design process. Saving time on the installation process means further cost savings. Plus, with the help of the Stained Glass Inc. design team, measuring can be perfected to ensure the right size the first time.

Other Features to Include with a Stained Glass Dome
In addition to creating a custom size and manufacturing a stained glass dome with only the finest quality, environmentally-friendly materials, Stained Glass Inc. can produce the other architectural elements that can be integrated with the dome project. This includes creating custom trim, moldings, columns and coves as well as LED backlighting elements.

Stained Glass Dome Design Options
Whether you have a restaurant, hotel, casino, retail center, church or government building project, you will be sure to offer a dramatic and engaging ambiance when you install a stained glass dome.

How to Choose a Stained Glass Design
When deciding on adding a stained glass dome to your building, you will want to consider a few things before selecting a stained glass design:
• What architectural style is your building? If it’s art deco, classical, modern or some other style, you would want a stained glass design that reflects that same style to tie the look all together.
• What is the building used for? If it is a religious structure, then you may want to add some type of religious stained glass design. Or, if it is a government building, perhaps the stained glass design may have something that symbolizes that. If you are adding a stained glass dome to a university, you may want to add some university symbols or mascots to the design.
• Will you be using natural light or an artificial light source to light your dome? Different designs tend to work better under each type of light or there are some that work well if you plan to use both natural light and artificial light to bring the stained glass dome to life.
• Are there particular colors you could use to emphasize a company’s corporate identity or align with your brand? This can further your brand message as well as enhance the overall ambiance of your structure.

Our Stained Glass Design Catalogue
At Stained Glass Inc., we offer thousands of different stained glass designs, including religious stained glass dome designs and non-religious stained glass designs. Within our stained glass design catalogue, we also feature specific themes like nature or abstract as well as those that emulate a certain stained glass style like Tiffany or Frank Lloyd Wright.

Of course, our stained glass professionals can also create a custom stained glass design for your dome based on your ideas or a specific pattern that you have developed. You can work with our stained glass team and create something that fits your ideas and works within our modular design system for our stained glass dome manufacturing process.

Building Stained Glass Domes

Building Stained Glass Domes
Whether used for residential or commercial applications, stained glass domes provide a way to brighten a room or space as well as add beauty and ambiance through dramatic colors and artistic patterns.

Our stained glass domes are safe, lead-free, and 200 times stronger than leaded glass. Each one is made with the finest details and has undergone UV lab testing that shows that the stained glass dome can be exposed to ten years of UV light without fading. Our stained glass domes are also lightweight and shatter-resistant.

Stained Glass Dome Assembly
While you may think that stained glass dome installation may be cumbersome, time-consuming, and complicated, we have the assembly and installation process down to a science so you do not have to do any ‘heavy lifting.’ This is because we have developed a modular process for installation that does not require major construction or remodeling to add a stained glass dome to your structure.

To show you just how easy it is to add a stained glass dome, here are the assembly instructions we typically provide to customers to help them add this beautiful architectural touch to their structure:

1. Assemble the metal frame.
2. Bolt the base ring together, following the matching lettered parts on each component.
3. Bolt the longitudinal ribs at the center ring together. Do the ribs on the opposite sides first to add stability to the stained glass dome frame and then finish off bolting together the other ribs.
4. Add the polymer stained glass panels. These are attached with nuts and washers to threaded anchors.
5. Add black silicone at the joints where the stained glass panels meet the frame of the dome.

Before ordering and installing your stained glass dome, it is recommended that you still ensure you are meeting local building codes.

Lighting Your Stained Glass Dome
Before ordering your stained glass dome and assembling it, you will need to consider where to place it in your structure to get the desired light level.

For stained glass domes placed under a skylight, it is important to make an enclosed box to seal the light shaft between the dome and the skylight. Of course, if you still want to show off the stained glass dome in the evenings, you will need to add a lightbox as well for nighttime viewing.

For those domes installed with a lightbox, you can add both dimmable LED lights and florescent lights, which allow you to change the light intensity throughout the day or evening to create different levels of ambiance for the space.

To ensure you get even lighting, keep the light sources away from the dome panels as much as possible. This means leaving at least 8-10 inches of space between the dome panels and the light source. This will allow for the light to indirectly illuminate the back of the dome.

Lighting for your Stained Glass Dome

Stained Glass Dome Lighting
Found in commercial and residential spaces, stained glass domes offer a way to illuminate a space in a beautiful way through an array of colors and effects. This feature can be added to a meeting space, chapel, classroom, office, hall, sanctuary, restaurant, casino or even a home.

Adding a stained glass dome does not have to involve major construction or remodeling. Instead, there are different types of stained glass domes available that allow you the option of natural light, artificial lighting, or even a combination of both.

Natural Lighting for Stained Glass Domes
Stained glass domes can rely purely on natural light. They can be added below an existing skylight or opening in your structure. This provides easy installation while adding beauty through one or more stained glass designs. An additional benefit of using a naturally lit stained glass dome is that it can help reduce lighting costs for a home or business.

Stained Glass Dome LED Lighting Options
While you may think that designing and installing a stained glass dome for your home will be expensive and involve significant remodeling or construction costs, we have made both processes simple and affordable. And, you do not even need a window or natural light source to enjoy it.

Accessible both night and day, our LED lighting options use a light box that gives the appearance of a stained glass window. A light box is simply placed behind the dome and mounted to the ceiling to create the light needed to illuminate it.

The environmentally-friendly LED lighting can be illuminated with LED lights rated for 30,000 hours of use without having to change a bulb. That is the equivalent to 14 hours of use per week for about 40 years. This can also save on lighting costs for a business and home while allowing the beauty of the stained glass dome to shine any time.

There is also the option of combining natural light and LED lighting to enjoy the best of both worlds, using the sunlight throughout the day and then switching to LED lighting so that the stained glass dome can still be used in the evening for an elegant feel.

Custom Stained Glass Dome Orders
We completely customize everything about your stained glass dome order. That includes the shape, size, design and colors. Whether you choose from our stained glass design collection of religious and non-religious designs or you submit your own stained glass design idea, our stained glass professionals can create it and ship it to you, factory direct. Our stained glass domes meet all code standards for safety and breakage resistance.

Ordering a Stained Glass Dome for Your Commercial or Residential Project
It’s easy to order direct from the manufacturer and enjoy the affordability and easy installation of our stained glass domes.

Stained Glass Domes for Restaurants

The Benefits of a Stained Glass Dome in your Restaurant

Restaurants are always looking for ways to set themselves apart from the competition. One of the ways that dining establishments can do this is through their ambiance—something many diners seek as part of their restaurant experience. One of the most visually striking ways to create a dramatic look for your restaurant is to add a stained glass dome.

Ambiance, Warmth, and Romance with Stained Glass Domes

As one of the most dramatic architectural features that could be added to a restaurant, stained glass domes provide a unique ambiance for your guests. Imagine how your diners will feel enjoying a romantic meal under the warmth and soft glow of a stained glass dome.

The luminous, rich colors of the stained glass dome can be lit by a skylight in your restaurant, by efficient fluorescent and LED lights, or by both. Either way, stained glass domes add color and light to a space that may otherwise be too dark or lack the design aesthetic that sets your restaurant apart from others.

Installing a Stained Glass Dome in a Restaurant

Installing a stained glass dome is easy. That’s because the domes have been designed as modular pieces so they can be combined to make any size dome. The panels are designed to work with new or existing grid systems in your restaurant. Even if you are adding a stained glass dome to an existing restaurant, it will not have to undergo construction or remodeling to make it fit.

When you receive your stained glass dome, it arrives in prefabricated units. All you need to do is assemble the steel frame and set the modular stained glass panel pieces into the frame.

The Design Freedom of Custom Stained Glass Domes

Master craftsmen have created a wide range of sizes, shapes, and designs that are made to fit in with your restaurant’s architectural and interior design. If you do not see a stained glass design among Stained Glass Inc.’s catalog of thousands of designs, you have the design freedom to work with our team to custom create anything that fits your vision. That means using a crest, logo, or specific color palette that matches your existing restaurant décor.

The Stained Glass Inc. Advantage

There are many advantages to selecting Stained Glass Inc. for your restaurant stained glass dome. As a world-class leader in stained glass, we only use the finest quality materials available and utilize a process that is lead free, providing safer stained glass.

Historically, the installation of a stained glass dome was a painstaking process that required nearly countless man hours spent installing the delicate dome. However, times have changed, and thanks to Stained Glass Inc., installing a new stained glass dome is easier than ever.

Our Stained Glass Domes are Lightweight

Unlike old stained glass, which was made with heavy metal and thick glass, stained glass domes from Stained Glass Inc. are made out of modern, lightweight materials which make installation substantially more simple. Not only are our domes easier to work with, they also require significantly less architectural support than other stained glass domes on the market. That means less structural space has to be committed to holding the dome up, and allowing that space to be used for other aesthetic or pragmatic considerations.

Stained Glass Inc. Presents Stained Glass Domes for Churches

Church Stained Glass Domes

Beautiful Stained Glass Domes for Churches

A signature element of some of the world’s most ancient and revered churches, the stained glass dome is an architectural element that provides the effect of illuminated heavens. Beautifully intricate stained glass domes evoke old world charm as well as a sense of the divine, making them perfect for use in a church. Of course, the old style of stained glass, which is made up of dense metal and weighty glass, is incredibly cumbersome, expensive and difficult to install. Fortunately, Stained Glass Inc. has a solution for that.

Stained Glass Domes from Stained Glass Inc.

Stained Glass Inc. is one of the foremost manufacturers and distributors of stained glass domes. With an ingenious combination of modern techniques and hybridized, light-weight materials, Stained Glass Inc. has engineered a stained glass dome that is not only affordable, but also easy to install. Additionally, Stained Glass Inc. has pioneered the usage of sophisticated fastening systems which allow for these domes to be hung from an all but invisible support system, so they can be installed in virtually any space that could benefit from a stained glass dome ceiling.

Day or Night, Our Stained Glass Domes are Radiant

One of the disadvantages of working with real stained glass is that it requires natural backlighting for the effect to be visible. Stained glass domes from Stained Glass Inc. can be backlit with warm LED light sources that illuminate the stained glass regardless of the time of day or presence of natural backlighting. No matter how big or small your church is, we have a stained glass dome that can fit your space. Even if there is natural backlighting to illuminate your stained glass during the day, our illuminated stained glass domes can be turned on to light up ceremonies that take place after dark, like Midnight Mass, or even just for rainy, overcast days when the sun isn’t out.
