Domes in Stromberg GFRC

Beautiful, strong and versatile, a dome is the most perfect of forms, and Stromberg Architectural Products has been producing GFRC domes for over 30 years. We learned long ago that by offering a variety of materials, we could help our clients select the dome material that is best for their project, and GFRC is a wonderful choice. Whatever your application, a dome in Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete will almost certainly fit the bill.

Choosing the Right GFRC Dome for Your Project: Dome Types

There are several types of GFRC domes available to choose from, and Stromberg offers them all.

  • An exterior dome in GFRC is the most common dome available, and can be produced in almost any size, shape, or finish. Of all dome types, the exterior GFRC dome probably makes the most visual impact. Breathtaking and visually stunning, exterior GFRC domes are reinforced with fiberglass rather than steel. This significantly reduces the bearing weight of the building, and makes the GFRC dome easier to install.
  • An interior GFRC dome’s primary function is to add visual enhancement to a specific area of a building. While there are several Stromberg materials suitable for interior domes, GFRC is certainly a fine choice as well. Its mineral based, fire resistant qualities make it a great choice for large private residences, banks, and casinos.
  • Onion domes are a favorite among orthodox churches, Indian, and Islamic mosques, and minarets. Based on a fusion of Persian, Islamic and Indian architecture, the most famous example of the onion dome of the Mughal style are the domes of the Taj Mahal. Onion domes in GFRC can be finished in many different ways, such as gold leaf, aged brass, or bronze.
  • Coffered domes in GFRC, refers to the web-like construction of crossed supports that is overlaid to create a series of square, rectangular or octagonal recessed areas known as coffers. The most famous coffered dome is the Pantheon, in Rome. GFRC Coffers may be relatively plain, or they may be highly ornamented.
