A groin vault ceiling kit, comprising:
- a set of four ceiling segments configured to be oriented perpendicularly relative to one another, each one of the ceiling segments including:
- a plurality of arch-shaped rib members positionable in axially-spaced relation to one another and being sized and configured such that the ceiling segment defines a wedge shape.
A method of fabricating a ceiling segment for a groin vault ceiling kit, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of arch-shaped rib members each having an opposing pair of rib ends and defining an arc length;
- and
- trimming the rib members such that the arc lengths increase incrementally when the rib members are positioned in axially-spaced relationship with one another to form a wedge shaped ceiling segment.
