Dome Engineering
Pacific Domes are engineered for both internal and external weight loads and support lighting and sound equipment. We offer an in-house structural analysis upon request. To be approved for permitting, your local building department may require engineering documents. Our architect and engineer can help you meet your requirements. Pacific Domes exceed TUV engineering requirements for all European countries.

Skylight Windows
Our Optional skylight, made of UV resistant clear vinyl, zips in, replacing the roof of any size dome. It allows a wealth of additional light into the dome.
Bay Windows
Each dome is manufactured with an elegant and extremely durable bay window. The large window is made with marine vinyl and sewn into the dome skin, allowing the interior of the dome to be illuminated with natural lighting.
Dome Insulation
Thermoshield
Our Thermoshield Insulative Paint is a non-toxic, cost effective insulation solution. It is an elastomeric paint containing ceramic borosilicate micro-spheres, a technology used on the space shuttles to prevent heat damage as they leave or re-enter the atmosphere. We recommend Thermoshield in areas with extreme UV exposure. Coating the outside of your dome with Thermoshield will keep it cool inside, while protecting the fabric from UV exposure, thus extending the life of your dome cover. The dome will remain portable even with a thick coat of Thermoshield. It is available in many colors and with your choice of a smooth or stucco finish. Please Note: Thermoshield paint will reduce light penetration.
Winter Liners
Our insulative liner is made of water resistant, easy to clean, fire retardant oxford nylon backed with a thinsulate liner that is naturally mildew and mold resistant. Easy to install and to attach on the inside of your frame, keeping your dome home cozy and comfortable.
Dome Ventilation
Roof Screens
Roof screens are available for added ventilation. The roof can also be zipped out for greatly increased air flow.
Base Rollups
The base of the dome rolls up to allow cross ventilation. This can be combined with the removal of windows, or adding of screens.
Window Screens
Window screens are available for ventilation. Each window can also be removed to allow cross ventilation.
Solar Fan Air Vent
Our Solar Fan is solar powered and is the most technically advanced, environmentally friendly air vent solution for your Pacific Dome.
Cap & Vent Flashing
Each dome comes with an optional stove vent flashing and cap for wood stove installation. Comfortable temperatures can be maintained inside the dome while snow storms flurry outside.
Door Screens
Door screens are available for increased ventilation. The door can be (zipped) open for added airflow.
Dome Floors
Pacific Domes offers a Heavy Duty vinyl floor that curves up the side wall in order to keep standing water out. For colder climates, we recommend an insulated floor, using Thinsulate* sandwiched between two layers of vinyl. Vinyl floors are available in many colors. The above cream colored floor worked well with the salt flat in Bolivia!
