Ceiling Domes

Urethane ceiling domes enhance interiors with rich texture and traditional appeal. Many of our ceiling

domes include classic decorative details, ranging from floral motifs to crisp moulding. Whether you seek

something subtle or ornate, we have a urethane ceiling dome for you. Each ceiling dome is factory

primed and ready for your paint or faux finish. Each dome is manufactured out of a high density

urethane foam, which is great for durability, but also lightweight.

Prior to Installation

It is highly recommended that you paint/finish our domes before you install them. Once

installed, you can apply any necessary touch!up paint/finish.

Clean installation surface and back of dome of all dirt and dust with a clean cloth or sponge.

Make sure that the surface and the back of the dome are

completely dry before attempting

installation.

Important Safety Instructions

Make sure to use the correct tools recommended.

Wear safety goggles.

Follow fixture, power tools, and paint manufacturers' instructions and users manuals.

Use common sense and follow good construction practices.

Installation Process (Recess Mount)

1. Create a

rough opening template. Lay the dome on a flattened piece of cardboard. Trace the

outline of the dome on the cardboard. Next, draw an inside outline about 1 1/2" inside the

outer outline. Using heavy duty scissors or a knife, cut along the inside outline.

2. Screw the template into the

ceiling at the desired location.

3. Cut through the drywall along the edge of the template. Remove any drywall in the way.

Reinforce existing framing by adding additional framing to support the edges of the Dome.

4. Apply an 1/2" continuous bead of polyurethane construction adhesive on the inside of

the dome

rim. Lift the dome into the rough opening. Drive drywall screws through the rim of the dome

and into the framing. Countersink screws (countersinking allows the screw heads to be covered

by spackle after installation).

5. Fill any chips or scrapes with lightweight spackle. Sand spackle after it has

dried. Use a high

quality latex paint to touch up dome.

Installation Process (Surface Mount) 1. Lay the dome face down on a soft surface that will not scratch/dent the dome detail. 2. Apply a 1/2" bead of adhesive caulk all the way around the back edge of the dome. 3. Gently press the dome up against the ceiling. 4. When pressing the dome up against the ceiling some adhesive caulk will seep out. Smooth excess caulk around the dome with a finger or the putty knife and apply extra caulk that is needed to fill in any gaps. 5.
