Domes, Lanterns, & Skylights

 

 
 

Tanglewood's skilled craftsmen are equally at home working with copper, glass or wood. All of our creations are fabricated here at our Denton, Maryland facility. You can have us create an outstanding design ourselves or we can manufacture to your specification. Our copper and glass domes, roof lanterns and custom skylights can be constructed in virtually any size, shape and design.

 
 
 
A Curved Glass Dome

A curved glass dome with
ventilating cupola sits atop
a mahogany conservatory.
Its lead coated copper
cladding will soon weather
to a rich patina. At almost
ten feet tall, the dome was
still able to ship cross country
completely assembled.

Here, diamond shaped
copper "shingles" are
applied to a custom dome designed
for an ornate Moorish-
styled conservatory. Each
piece is carefully bent and
fit in place by hand.

Ornamental roof lantern with stained glass windows

Maple and mahogany were used
to fabricate this ornamental roof
lantern with custom designed
stained glass windows. Operation
of these upper vents is usually
automated.

A brilliant sky is framed by the
curved structural ribs of this
mahogany and glass dome. It
sits atop the conservatory shown
in Our Portfolio, page 12.

Mahogany and Glass Dome
Copper Clad, Bell Shaped Dome

This copper clad, bell
shaped dome will sit atop a
new home in Virginia, its
shape echoing the turrets
of the house.

This trio of copper-clad
custom skylights will light a home
with both quality and style.
Hand-crafted, one at a time,
they'll add dramatic effect
both inside and out.

Copper Clad Skylights
Double-Pitch Skylight

A custom double-pitch
skylight is fabricated using
copper shapes bent to fit
over a mahogany structure.

A small gable skylight that
will illuminate a newly built
orangerie, awaits shipment.
These skylights can usually
be delivered completely
assembled and set into place
with a light duty crane.

Skylight for Orangerie
Classic Glass Cupola

The roof of this classic glass
cupola is constructed using a
century-old technique of
overlapping small panes. Its
elegant accomplishment
could not have been otherwise
effected.

While this ornate roof
lantern sits atop a custom
designed conservatory, it
might easily perch on any
roofline in need of an
interesting highlight.
