Dome Shaped Roof Calls for Out-of-the-box Product Needs

When an area attraction needed a new roof for an architecturally pleasing, yet complex building, the contractor called Benchmark Foam for roofing insulation help. The Washington Pavilion (Sioux Falls, S.D.) is the region’s home for the arts, entertainment and science. Earlier this fall, the Wells Fargo CineDome, part of the Pavilion, needed a new roof for its true to form, semispherical top.

To achieve the proper dome shape, Benchmark Foam custom-cut pie-shaped pieces of its expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam insulation to fit exactly as needed. At its thickest section, the EPS insulation is 24” and tapers down to 8”.

The layout required installation to be choreographed in a specific order to achieve the appropriate shape, to which Benchmark labeled each piece to its respective position.
