Air-crete Dome Building
8 Irresistible Reasons to build an Air-crete Dome Home.
1 - LOW COST
Perhaps the most obvious reason to build an Air-crete dome home is the enormous amount of money it will save you in construction, maintenance and keeping you cool in the summer and warm in winter. Air-crete is simply the most practical, high-quality, low cost material there is. It performs a double function as structure and insulator. Build any thickness to suit your climate. The millions of tiny air cells give air-crete its insulating properties. Unlike other forms of insulation that deteriorate with age, Air-crete’s insulating properties will never be compromised.
Domes are very energy efficient for several reasons. They enclose the most space with the least material. 40% of the energy loss in conventional structures is around the thermal bridges caused by studs and where floors meet the exterior wall. There are no thermal bridges in an Air-crete dome home. The seamless integration of walls and roof eliminates outside air penetration and allows the natural flow of interior convection currents that make it easier to heat and cool. An air-crete dome home eliminates the high cost related to the countless complex details involved in creating an energy efficient home with conventional methods.
2 - ELEGANCE
It's been my pleasure to introduce many people to their first experience in a dome home. In every case there is an initial amazement, and inevitably they say “wow!” There is something intangible, freeing and uplifting that soothes your soul. The graceful arches, round window and oval doorways are inspiring. They give you an expansive sense of being in a sacred space. To be sure, Air-crete domes are extraordinary. They provide something conventional buildings simply cannot. Every time you step into your dome home you will be surrounded by a secure sense of serenity.
3 - FIREPROOF
A small flame can become an inferno very quickly in a conventional wooden home. Once the fire penetrates the thin walls, the spaces between the stubs act like chimneys that allow the fire to easily spreads to the entire structure. And if the fire doesn’t destroy your stick frame house, the fire department likely will in the process of trying to extinguish the fire. Air-crete is fireproof. You can build a furnace with it. It will not burn.
4 - WATER PROOF
Water damage is a constant threat to wood, adobe, cob, straw bale, compressed earth and even metal buildings. Air-crete is waterproof, you can build a boat with it. It does not absorb water. It will not rot, rust or decompose in water. You might want to cover you home with vegetation, no problem! Put a sprinkler on top to keep it moist and cool in the summer, no problem! Air-crete is waterproof.
5 - PEST PROOF
Insects and rodents are another annoying threat. They find every nook, crack and cranny. Conventional homes are riddled with seams, joints and layers that invite pests. Regardless of the initial quality, as your home ages it becomes more accommodating to pests. In many areas of the world houses are fumigated with toxic chemicals to control termites, cock roaches and other pests. It’s an endless hopeless battle for most houses in the tropics. But not for an Air-crete dome home. With tight windows and doors an Air-crete dome home is impervious to pest of all kind. I’ve lived many years in the tropics and I know well this outstanding quality of a seamless Air-crete dome home. It’s comforting to know that nothing is going to crawl into your bed while you sleep soundly.
6 - SAFETY
Natural disasters - earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, forest fires, volcanic eruptions, floods - you name it, there isn’t a better building than an Air-crete dome. A dome is the strongest structural shape bar none. If the fragile, brittle shell of an egg was flat it would crumble under the slightest pressure. It’s incredible strength come from it’s dome shape. A dome is strong because it distributes forces equally throughout it’s entire structure. Architects and engineers have know this for centuries. Some of the oldest buildings in the world are domes.
Have you heard of “sick house syndrome”? It’s a term used to describe the ailments caused by the off gassing of common construction materials. Air-crete is a perfect choice for the natural home builder.
7 - ECOLOGY
Of all the significant advantages that Air-crete offers over other construction materials, one of the most important to me is it’s low environmental impact. I’ve lived among old growth forests that have since be destroyed and it makes me sad. My love for nature is a central driving force to my passion as an architect. If you are concerned with our ecological crisis then Air-crete will have a special appeal to you too. Air-crete has gained international recognition as an ecological building material because of it’s resource efficiency and it’s low environmental impact through all phases of its use. And it’s only going to get better. Researchers are developing ways of producing air-crete using fly ash, a nontoxic industrial waste product.
8 - EASE
Most creatures build their home in a day. For some strange reason with our sophisticated ingenuity we live in houses that take several months to build and 30 years to pay for. Many of us spend the best years of our lives in debt to our homes. Building an Air-crete dome home is easily achievable for most people. It doesn't require a lot of skills. Erecting the forms is similar to putting up a big tent. Then you simply pour in the air-crete. Our unique tools eliminate the hard labor. And the forms can be reused over and over again to build countless homes. Once you have forms you can build a dome home that wraps you in beauty, holds you in comfort and supports your health and wellbeing for less then $10,000.
