Most ceiling domes are recessed. In order to be installed, recessed ceiling domes need to be placed in pre-cut holes in your ceiling. Surface mounted ceiling domes have the look of recessed domes, but are much easier to install. They are attached to the surface of your ceiling rather than in your ceiling.

If you like ceiling domes to be more traditional in appearance, but would like a little more decoration on the trims than recessed ceiling domes offer, then surface mounted ceiling domes are the domes for you. The interior of surface mounted ceiling domes can be undecorated like traditional domes. However, surface mounted ceiling domes offer more trim area for intricate patterns.

Surface mounted ceiling domes will cast more interesting shadows than recessed ceiling domes on your ceiling as the day progresses. Part of the interest of a decorated ceiling is the effect that light has on your ceiling’s features at different times of the day.

Whether you choose recessed or surfaced mounted ceiling domes for your house, you are sure to be pleased with the results.
