Domes History

There are dome structures that date back 15,000 to 20,000 years ago, but it wasn’t until the Romans that we see the domes today. The Romans created domes using wood, stone, brick, ceramic and concrete. Domes also play a very important part in places of worship where they represent and symbolize different aspects of the religion. For example Eastern Orthodox churches have domes which represent heaven. In the Islamic places of worship they are called mosques. There are different types of domes, corbel, onion, oval, parabolic, polygonal, sail, saucer, and umbrella.

Domes have to be well integrated into the building. Load stresses for domes are and movement of big heavy domes is an engineering matter. BA Roofing & Greenbuilding Construction has the complete team to engineer the structural strength of the roof of the building. We are able to restore historical building’s domes that require care and precise workmanship.
