Dome ceilings are a wonderful selling feature when showing prospective home buyers. What promises to be an instant conversation starter can also be customized to your measurements. Did you hear it? Your prospective home buyers just said, “WOW!”
| Material |
Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) |
| Dome Tie | The dome tie will change in size and shape to adequately account for the quantity of rafters and ensure proper spacing along the outer ring. |
| Purlin Ring | Ceiling domes larger than 18 foot may require an additional supporting ring, called a purlin ring, that sits atop the rafters and ties into the dome tie for added support. |
Every dome ceiling kit comes with tailored installation instructions to your specifications. It's as simple as measuring and marking the placement of the each ring, hanging your dome tie, and then nailing the dome rafters in place. If you can color by number and operate a nail gun, then you can install one of our dome ceilings.
Drywalling a dome ceiling is comprised of measuring the curvature, cutting the drywall to the curvature, forming and fastening in place.

We’re a fan of the groin vault kits from Archways & Ceilings. We have been using them for a few years now and the quality and the ‘WOW’ factor their groin vault kits create are well worth the cost. Plus, their customer service is excellent!
We were absolutely satisfied with our dome ceiling. The service and communication we got from Archways & Ceiling was top notch. We would highly recommend working with them and using their products.
I would highly recommend Archways & Ceilings for coved ceilings. Their kits takes what can be a hard task for a carpenter and makes it into a simple project. The savings over other products we have used like Styrofoam is significant with better durability.
Archways & Ceilings does a great job on all of their products. Specifically, we have been using their barrel vaults exclusively since 2009 and the exact precision with which they are made cannot be replicated in the field by traditional stick framing methods. For a truly high-end finish and a shape nothing short of perfection, Archways & Ceilings materials are the way to go.
Archways & Ceilings is a great company to have as a resource. We know that when we take on projects that require a variety of arched ceilings, we can count on them to come through. We recently completed a project that required an elliptical barrel vault that intersected with 6 half circle arches at different heights which they call “Igloos.” This ceiling came out terrific and came out like the architect spec’d.
