Geodesic Domes
We specialize in the supply and installation of Geodesic Domes for hire or sale. Defy convention by hiring or purchasing our unique, strong and spacious domes for your special event or long term use. Sizes range from 5 meters in diameter to 20 and beyond.
Uses
Nature's favoured structure The sphere is nature's most efficient means of enclosing space. By combining the triangle and the sphere, a self-supporting shell can be formed. This structure requires no interior load-bearing walls, no roof beams nor centre poles and encloses the largest volume of interior space and floor area using the least amount of exterior surface area. If you double the sphere's diameter, it will quadruple the floor area and produce eight times the volume.
 Doing More With Less
Geodesic Domes are super-efficient for material usage. The dome framework and interlocking system of triangles, produces the lightest, strongest, free-span self-supporting structure possible. Enclosing space with a minimum of surface area requires fewer materials for construction, resulting in a most energy-efficient and economical building system. In Buckminster Fuller's famous words, it's 'doing more with less'.
Stability
Energy-efficiency
Geodesic Dome structures are extremely energy-efficient. Air circulates freely in a dome without obstruction or ceiling level heat build-up. The ideal energy flow shape means that the geodesic dome uses 30 to 50 per cent less energy to heat and cool than a conventional home. There is also a third less exposed surface area to heat and cool than a conventional box structure, which increases efficiency again. Because of the many identical parts the basic shell is very light, they can be erected very quickly without any specialised equipment.
