Polycarbonate Domes and Skylights: Design Ideas and Tips

Domes and skylights turn any enclosed space into one full of natural light. Polycarbonate is the ideal material: light and cold-bendable.

Popular shapes

  • Hemispherical dome: mosques, villas and entrances.
  • Barrel vault: walkways, malls and factories.
  • Pyramid: lobbies and stairwells.
  • Space frame: large areas such as halls and airports.

Choosing the sheet

Multiwall is the most common choice for domes — insulating and light. Embossed and coloured sheets create beautiful decorative effects, like the coloured domes we delivered at Merryland Park and Summer Moon.

The structure

The frame must be designed with a curvature radius suited to the sheet thickness, with expansion allowance at every joint.

Colours

Blue gives a cool, calm feel; multi-colour suits leisure and decorative spaces; opal diffuses light softly.
