The film · 1:16
The all-glass Tetra Glass Dome is glass from base to crown. Every panel is double-paned and tempered, creating an insulated barrier that handles the cold, blocks harmful UV rays, and keeps your interior feeling just right. And because the glass connects to our proven aluminum triangle frame, it’s not just pretty—it’s a fortress.

Tempered glass keeps its clarity year after year.
And with mirror finishes or tints, you control the vibe—inside and out.

Every Tetra Glass is built to order on the same frame, so you choose how much of it stays clear.
Both builds cost the same. You confirm your build when you reserve production with a deposit.

We’re not talking about your average windowpane. These are thick, double-paned tempered glass panels designed to insulate, deflect UV, and stand up to the elements. Whether you want clear visibility or a fully mirrored finish, we’ve got you covered—literally. Clear, mirrored and tinted glass are included at no extra charge.

Just like our original Tetra Dome, the Glass Edition uses precision-engineered, pre-welded aluminum triangles. It’s the real deal.

What Dome House customers say
“The team at The Dome House helped me customize a 20′ all-glass dome with a curtain system and vent windows, and it’s been a total game changer. The guests rave about the view of the northern lights.”

What is the Tetra Glass dome kit?
The Tetra Glass dome kit is our permanent glass dome in two builds on one frame: all glass, or glass with insulated panels. Both use our pre-welded aluminum frame and double-pane tempered glass, and both cost the same.
What is the Tetra All Glass Dome?
The Tetra All Glass Dome is our fully transparent dome structure, made entirely from double-pane tempered glass panels mounted on a structural aluminum frame. It’s designed for those who want unobstructed views, natural light, and that high-end architectural aesthetic.
What is glass with insulated panels?
Glass with insulated panels is the second Tetra Glass build, with insulated aluminum panels on the lower portion and double-pane tempered glass above. It keeps your views while adding privacy and insulation where you want them, with a warm wood-grain interior finish on the panels.
Can I choose where the glass and panels go?
Yes. At The Dome House, we build each dome to order, so you can pick which parts stay fully transparent and which are solid. Want privacy in the back and views up front? Need more insulation on the north side? We can make that happen.
What materials are used in the Tetra Glass Dome?
The frame is pre-welded aluminum, not PVC or wood. The panels are double-pane tempered glass, or insulated aluminum panels in the glass-with-panels build. These aren’t tent materials. They’re chosen for a permanent structure.
What colors can the panels be?
The insulated panels come in a range of finishes, including wood tones, matte black, and neutral hues. If you want to match the environment or brand your dome for a resort, we can work with you on color selection.
How is the Tetra Glass different from the Tetra Hybrid?
The Tetra Hybrid puts double-pane glass in a viewing area and covers the rest of the dome with an insulated cover, built for a smarter budget. The Tetra Glass is all glass, or glass with insulated panels. It’s made for locations and clients where the view matters most, and you can have full privacy with mirror glass too.
Can I choose tinted or mirrored glass?
Yes. Clear, mirrored and tinted glass are included at no extra charge. We offer multiple shades of mirrored, bronze, dark, and of course, clear, and tinted or reflective glass adds daytime privacy and helps manage sunlight, glare, and heat.
Is the dome fully see-through at night?
If you’ve got lights on inside and no tint or curtains, yes—it’ll be visible. But a curtain system comes with every dome, and we offer privacy tint options, so you can control visibility when the sun goes down. You get the openness and the option to shut it out when needed.
Are these domes weather-resistant?
Yes. The Tetra All Glass Dome is built with our pre-welded aluminum strut system and weather-sealed, tempered glass. Wind and snow loads are addressed in the engineering for your site, with stamped documentation available for permitting.
What sizes are available?
Five standard sizes from 16 ft to 30 ft in diameter. Popular options for scenic retreats or sky-view stays are 20 ft, 23 ft, and 30 ft—depending on whether you’re building a personal retreat or a high-end short-term rental. Need a larger dome? Larger sizes are available on request.
Is this dome insulated?
The glass-with-insulated-panels build is our most insulated option, and the all-glass build uses double-pane tempered glass to help regulate interior temperature. In colder climates, many customers add floor insulation, curtains, and heating systems to maintain comfort.
Can I use this dome for a short-term rental or eco-stay?
Yes. These domes are popular with eco resorts, Airbnb hosts, and luxury glamping operations looking to stand out with a high-end experience. Guests love the 360° views, the natural light, and the feeling of sleeping under the stars (without bugs or condensation).
Is there any way to control temperature inside?
Yes—especially if you plan for it. A solar exhaust fan and two opening windows with mosquito screens come standard, and HVAC prep is available. Many customers also use mini split systems, solar-powered fans, or floor-mounted radiant heat to stay comfortable year-round.
Can I use a wood stove in a Tetra Glass dome?
Yes. A stove port is free on request. Follow the stove maker’s clearances and your local codes.
What kind of foundation is required?
Most Tetra All Glass Dome buyers choose a pier foundation with a wood deck. It’s clean, slightly elevated, and ideal for resort or rental settings. A concrete slab is also an option depending on your site and permitting.
Can the glass be cleaned easily?
Yes. The dome’s slope helps rain rinse off most debris. For spot cleaning, a telescoping window washer or hiring a local glass crew a couple times a year keeps everything crystal clear. We use treated tempered glass to resist staining and reduce streaks.
How long does it take to assemble?
As a rough average, the Tetra Glass shell goes up in about 3–5 days. It depends most on the dome size, plus your crew’s experience and the rental equipment used for the install. Every piece is labeled and pre-cut for precision. The all-glass version might take a bit more care during install.
Can I add electricity or plumbing?
Definitely. Inside the dome, you can build out interior walls, flooring, and utilities just like a regular dwelling. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC are all common upgrades for clients using the dome as a rental or full-time home.
How long does the dome last?
The Tetra Glass is a permanent architectural structure, not a tent. Glass and weather sealing are rated for 30 years and frames are rated for a lifetime, and every kit ships with a warranty card and user guide.
Do you provide engineering for permits?
Yes. Stamped engineering documents are available as an option to help with building permits and zoning requirements. That includes structural, wind, and snow load details to help you get approved—especially useful in strict jurisdictions.
How long does it take to receive my dome?
Made to order. Currently ships in 10–12 weeks. Lead times vary with order volume and season. Your production schedule is confirmed with your quote.
How is the Tetra Glass shipped?
Free shipping to the lower 48 states. The kit ships palleted, shrink-wrapped, and insured in a covered box truck, with the frame, glass or panels, fasteners, and an installation manual and assembly blueprints. Alaska, Hawaii, and international delivery are quoted separately.
How much does a glass dome kit cost?
The price depends on your size, glass finish, and build, all glass or glass with insulated panels, which cost the same. Request a quote or book a call with our team and we’ll price your exact size and options.
