Know before you buy
No, this kit is specifically engineered for Phoenix Domes. The aluminum frames and sealing components are designed to integrate seamlessly with the proprietary geometry of our existing structures.
The panorama window is designed for eye-level, side-wall installation to maximize horizontal views, while the skylight configuration is optimized for overhead placement to provide celestial views and increased natural light from above.
The argon-filled, double-pane construction provides significantly better thermal insulation compared to standard PVC panels. This helps maintain a more stable interior temperature while reducing condensation and noise.
While the kit includes all necessary aluminum trim and silicone sealant for a secure fit, the installation involves handling tempered glass and precise sealing. We recommend having at least two people for the installation, and consulting a professional if you are not experienced with structural glazing.
Tinted and coated glass options are primarily used to reduce glare and solar heat gain, making the dome more comfortable during peak sunlight hours. Mirrored finishes offer increased daytime privacy while still allowing you to see out.
Yes, glass is significantly heavier than standard PVC. Ensure your existing Phoenix Dome foundation and frame are properly anchored and level before proceeding with the upgrade to accommodate the additional weight.
