Transparent Dome & Mosque Skylight Systems
A Complete Dome System, Planned as One Project
Transparent and translucent domes require a different design approach from opaque GRP or metal-clad systems because daylight, glare, drainage and visible support geometry become part of the architecture. The intended space below the dome should therefore be considered at the same time as the exterior form.
Depending on the approved project specification, the system may use transparent or translucent composite panels, glazing or a hybrid framed solution. The final material selection must respond to span, fire and building requirements, solar exposure and the supporting structure defined for the project.
- Entrance and foyer skylights
- Courtyard daylight domes
- Prayer-room daylight features
- Canopy and transition domes
What This Service Can Include
Daylight, Drainage and Frame Rhythm Must Be Designed Together
A transparent dome is viewed simultaneously as a roof and as an interior light source. Panel dimensions, frame depth and joint pattern therefore influence both the exterior silhouette and the quality of the space below.
