Basic Installation Instructions

Preparing the Ceiling

Invert dome and trace on ceiling.

For domes with rims, measure and mark the distance from the edge of the domes rim to the beginning of the curve. This is the cut line.

For rimless domes, the tracing line is the cut line.

Cutting the Rough Opening

Frame and Wallboard Construction: Cut wallboard and remove necessary sections of joist. Add as needed for support (figures 1 & 2):
(1) framing members, (2) double members on each side and perpendicular to ceiling joist, (3) over the top to hold electrical box.

Lay-in or Suspended Ceilings: Cut acoustical tiles and metal framework. (figure 3). When in place, tiles will rest on the edge of the dome and framework.

Preparing the Dome

Lightly sand dome surface.

Fiberglass domes: drill hole for light fixture if needed:

  • holes less than 1/2" cut from front with metal cutting twist bit;
  • holes 1/2" to 2" cut from front with metal cutting hole saw;
  • holes 2" or more cut cut from back with re c i p rocating saw (jig or sabre)

Polyurethane Domes can be drilled from the front side.

Frame and Wallboard Construction:

Fiberglass Domes: Thread construction wire through metal straps on back of dome. Attach wires tightly to the overhead joist using screws (figure 4). Note: If you choose to drill through the dome, refill holes with Bondo then sand, or use fiberglass repair kit.

Polyurethane Domes: Insert screws through dome into wallboard or framing. Dome can be glued to ceiling using Focal Point Adhesive #33333.

Lay-in or Suspended Ceilings:

Fiberglass Domes: Thread construction wire through straps; attach wires to suspended ceiling wires.

Polyurethane Domes: Use a wood block, into which the suspension wires are secured. Screw from the inside of the dome through the wood block that is positioned on the topside of the dome (figures 4 & 5). Note: Light fixture is supported by the framing, not by the dome.

Final Touch-Up

Sand surface of dome; paint with high quality paint. Do Not use lacquer paints.

Caulk where dome meets the ceiling.

If using Wesley Rimless dome, standard drywall techniques apply.

Installation Instructions for Dome with Light Cove

Please read and follow all instructions carefully.

Follow all local building codes when framing.

Warnings: Edges of dome may be sharp. Do not step or climb on installed dome.

Supplied Materials

1- Dome
4- Z-bars
12- 1/4" nuts

4- 6"x1/4" threaded bolts

Dome Specifications

Overall Weight: 78# +-10# (less medallion and chandelier)

Overall Width: 78"

Medallion Size: 20" Width or less

  1. For new construction, frame square rough opening to 75 1/2" x 75 1/2". Install diagonal bracing
    in the four corners to form a round rough opening. Cover with sheetrock and cut out circle.

  2. For old work, cutout a 75 1/2" circle in the ceiling and frame rough opening as needed.

  3. Install support hardware as shown in "View B" with Z-bar loosely fitted. Larger rafters will
    require cutting threads to suit. Electrical boxes should be attached at this time. Lift the dome
    and insert in the ceiling opening.
    Note: The 6" bolts provided will work with 2x4' s - 2x8' s.

  4. Rotate dome so that bolts and Z-bar are aligned with center of ceiling joists.
    Note: Hole to power the rope lighting should be turned toward the source.

  5. With the Z-bar flush against the ceiling joist, screw the two wood screws through holes
    provided on each Z-bar.

  6. Adjust nuts applied in step 3 sequentially to lift the dome up tightly against the ceiling.
    Do not over tighten. Secure jamming nuts against tighten nuts for secure installation.
    Caulk dome to ceiling to fill any gaps.
    Note: To determine center, measure from finished side. There is a small 1" dot in approximate center.

finishing

Clean face of dome with mineral spirits. Lightly sand and paint with any high quality latex or oil base paint.

Rope Lighting

Dome requires approximately 19' of U.L. approved rope lighting. Lighting is not provided by Focal Point. The rope lighting can be overlapped or doubled up for increased illumination dependent upon manufactures specifications. Clear rope will give a candle light colored glow to the dome. For best effect use a rheostat on the wall switch.
