Training in groin vault ceiling construction is offered to union members through the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters. A groin vault is formed by two barrel vaults intersecting at right angles. The result is four curving surfaces that draw the eye up and toward the center. The areas where the barrel vaults come together create ribs that add both strength and visual appeal. Depending on how it is finished, a groin vault can look subdued or quite ornate. The groin ceiling has been an architectural staple for thousands of years, churches, hotel, commercial buildings and homes. Because the curving ribs draw the eye up, it creates a sense of height and openness. It's a great option for setting off an area. Multiple groin ceilings can even add texture and dimension to a structure. There is no limit to how much style a groin vaulted ceiling can bring.
A groin ceiling adds not only style and sophistication, but also value.
