Dome 24

Dome 24  

 

Concept
Dome 24 is a concave luminous ceiling based on 24 radials from a central hub. Die cast 8 sided junctions are joined by extruded aluminum grid members to create a wide variety of sizes and configurations. Decorative bulbs or sprinkler heads can be placed at any junction.

Junction
The heart of this concept is a die cast junction fitting 2-3/4" across that can join up to 8 grid members using formed steel locking clips.

Grid
Grid members are extruded aluminum with 1-1/8" face and 3/16" thick edges. All are prefabricated to fit between junction hubs and attach to locking clips.

Suspension
Standard ceiling hanger wire is used to suspend the dome assembly from the plenum structure above.

Dimensions
Dome 24 forms a concave shape with each additional ring increasing the diameter and the depth. Standard designs are from 10' diameter 2 ring to 41' diameter 9 ring. Dimensions of all the standard designs are shown.

Diffusers
The standard luminous diffuser is #S80A, .080" white translucent acrylic. A simulated wire glass pattern on the diffusers is a standard option. Many colors of translucent or opaque acrylic and even polished metal, fabric, wood veneer and acoustical panels are available.

Finish
The standard grid finishes are White, Bronze, Black and Silver Satin Polene. Special polene painted colors are available. Real wood veneer with clear lacquer finish also available.

Lighting
Standard open tube fluorescent fixtures, either strip or reflector style, are used in the plenum above the ceiling system. Care in the plenum and lamp center design should be taken to assure even illumination on the diffuser surface. Decorative incandescent medium base lamps, up to 75 watts each, can be placed at any grid junction member in #F-1 socket assembly.

Sprinklers
Sprinkler heads may be placed at any grid junction member.

Custom
Dome 24 is a very flexible design concept and can easily be executed in flat or convex shapes, larger diffuser elements and much larger diameters. We would like to explore your ideas.

Concave-Convex-Flat
Our Dome 24 design was conceived as a concave design. The 8-Way fitting allows the grid members to meet at any angle so that both convex and flat designs can easily be produced. Call us for details on these designs or any special application.

Skylite Depth
The depth of the Dome 24 design is a function of the diameter. The fluorescent lamps should be at least 9" above the skylight. Exact dimensions are shown.

Perimeter
A cove providing a ledge for the dome perimeter to rest on is a beautiful transition design. The dimension of the ledge is critical to the design. Based on the center point of the grid junction, the chart shows the width of the ledge and the overall finish openings required, both to the back of the ledge and to the front edge of the ledge.
We also have available an extruded aluminum "beam", # R-P, to provide a transition to surrounding surfaces. This is supplied pre-mitered.
