Maximum Rough Opening Sizes
for Doors and/or Windows
Our Entryways and Dormers provide openings in the dome that accommodate conventional doors and windows that you purchase locally. The walls within these openings are built on-site to fit your choice of door and window sizes.
Because the sides of the Entryways and Dormers are sloped the width of the opening decreases as the height of the opening increases.
Typical heights (distance D from the floor to the top of the opening) are listed in the first column with the maximum available rough opening listed for each dome size.
Opening sizes are listed as Width x Height.
