How is a Domo built?
The PVC membrane is secured to its foundations and then pressurised. Polyurethane foam is then sprayed into the inside of the membrane. A combined process is made of gradually fitting the steel framework and spraying the concrete until the reinforced concrete structure is completely built. The PVC membrane remains the outer finish. |
 |
How long does it take to build?
The Domo shell structures require a short construction period of between one and four months. |
 |
Is it cheaper than other constructions?
Yes, its cost is competitive with conventional constructions. |
 |
In which cases is it most recommended?
For large spans and to keep the inside completely isolated from the outside. |
 |
Is it completel airtight?
Yes, the outer sheet is a 1 mm thick PVC membrane and the first inner sheet is made of stiff polyurethane resin with a thickness of no less than 20 mm. Both sheets make the structure completely airtight. |
 |
Are technical and acoustic conditions improved?
Yes, they are improved thanks to the polyurethane resin sheet and to their geometry.. |
 |
Can gaps be made in these structures?
Yes, gaps of the required size and geometry can be made. |
 |
Are special foundations required?
No, the double curvature monolithic surface has a better performance with regard to specific and distributed loads. |
 |
Can point loads be withstood on the outside?
Yes, greater than those on structures with different geometries. |
 |
How long do they last?
Greater durability than any reinforced concrete structure is guaranteed, wih greater performance with regard to earthquakes.. |
