Immerse Your Guests in the Beauty of Nature

It’s a dome-shaped structure made from precision-engineered aluminum struts and double-pane tempered glass panels. Ours are architectural-grade, not greenhouse tents or plastic bubbles. Think: strength, style, and sunlight—all in one.

Yes, by a mile. Tempered glass holds up to weather, time, and impact better than polyethylene or fabric panels. Combined with our aluminum framing and steel connectors, you’re getting a long-term structure that laughs at storms and UV rays alike.

They can—but not if you build smart. Tinted or mirrored glass helps reflect heat, and our optional ventilation systems or HVAC integrations keep things cool. Many of our Dome House customers also add wrap-around curtains for shade. It’s glass done right, not a magnifying glass on your head.

Absolutely. The Dome House line offers uses double-pane glass which holds heat exceptionally well, and the dome shape naturally sheds snow. Add a wood stove or HVAC system and you’ll stay toasty—even in places like Colorado or Montana. No plastic cracking. No drafty corners. Just warm, efficient shelter.

Most of our clients spend between $35,000 and $40,000 for a complete shell setup. DIY installers can come in under that with our blueprints and instructions. Add-ons like HVAC ports, insulation panels, or wood-grade aluminum finishes can increase the budget—but also the comfort and wow factor.

Yes—and here at The Dome House, many of our clients do. These aren’t novelty builds. They’re permanent, livable structures. Add plumbing, electrical, and interior walls and you’ve got yourself a one-of-a-kind home with light pouring in from every angle. Off-grid or fully wired—it’s up to you.

They absolutely can. We offer mirrored glass, custom tints, and wrap-around curtain systems to give you control over light and visibility. Some customers also incorporate aluminum panel sections for privacy on specific sides. You don’t have to give up seclusion for sunlight.

With a small crew or contractor, most builds go up in a few days. The frame is made from aluminum struts, and each glass panel is cut to fit like a glove. We provide instructions and engineering plans to guide you through it. No wild shapes, just clean triangles and solid structure.

We offer domes starting at 20 feet in diameter (ideal for backyard studios or glamping setups) all the way up to 40 feet or more (perfect for full-time residences). Most popular models for living fall between 24′ and 30′.

Absolutely. Choose all-glass or mix in aluminum wood-grade panels in a variety of colors. Pick your door style, window placements, glass tinting, and ventilation setup. You get the structure and style that fits your project—not a prefab compromise.

Exceptionally well. The dome shape naturally deflects wind instead of absorbing it. Combine that with tempered glass, aluminum struts, and steel connectors, and you’ve got one of the strongest shapes you can build—especially with our engineering-backed layout.

That depends on where you live. Many municipalities treat these like any other permanent structure. Others are more flexible, especially on rural land. We provide optional stamped engineering documents to help with permitting. It’s always smart to check local building codes first.

Most folks use a soft telescoping brush and hose. Rain handles the bulk of it, thanks to the dome’s slope. If you’re building a larger dome, you might want to hire pros once or twice a year to hit the high spots. Either way—keep the squeegee handy.

Yes. The shape minimizes surface area, which means better thermal performance. Add in double-pane glass and proper floor insulation and you’ve got a structure that holds heat in the winter and stays cool in the summer. For hotter climates, mirrored glass makes a big difference.

Here at The Dome House, they’re made for it. Guests love the panoramic views, natural light, and open layout. If you’re looking to create a high-end glamping stay or add some architectural flair to your rental, a glass dome turns heads—and commands premium nightly rates.
