Installation example

The Look Up Dome

 is placed on a unique and waterproof base ring design which enables the dome to be fitted to any square opening 2.42metres (2420mm) across.
 
This allows for easy adaptation of an existing observatory building. For a new building, the system is specifically designed to use standard size wall cladding.
 
New features of the Look Up Dome include a solar powered dome ventilator, stainless steel shutter rollers, powder-coated aluminum shutter rails and stainless steel fastenings throughout.​

Installation

can be completed on any opening because of its waterproof design. From standard stand-alone wooden walls and fitted out containers through to house renovations and new build projects.
