Air Domes
The combination of the latest materials and technologies used in DUOL air domes offers you low operating costs and a feeling of comfort, regardless of weather. Turn-key building projects can be ready for use in less than 3 months and are completed at a significantly lower cost per square meter than any conventional building. Air domes offers great flexibility and can be used as a seasonal, permanent or temporary covering. DUOL Air domes are built to meet any local building codes and are able to withstand heavy snow, high or low temperatures and high winds in all types of environments. The air dome is suitable to cover any sports field, warehouses, industrial facilities, etc
Why DUOL air domes?
DUOL air domes have many unique advantages including innovative DUOL ECO membrane system, which provides highest thermal insulation with rock-solid weather resistance.

- Highest quality fabrics
- Highest quality heavy duty vinyl-coated polyester fabrics
- Flame resistant with a pro-rated warranty
- Designed to provide high tensile and tear strength
- Maximum resistance to acid and chemicals
- Top coated finishes for maximum UV and dirt protection
- Dielectric welding of fabric by use of Radio Frequency
- Resistance to extreme weather
Our air dome withstands temperatures from -55 ° C and up to +70 ° C, strong winds, storms, heavy snow, ice
- Very short project execution time
Only few weeks from the date of agreement until the air dome is completed and ready for use. - Less cost than conventional buildings
DUOL air domes require much less construction cost than traditional structures as it doesn’t need sophisticated site preparation such as concrete foundation and framing and other complications that conventional buildings have. Furthermore it does not require a construction permit as it is not considered as a permanent structure. - Seasonal domes
Only few days to assemble and disassemble the air dome easily and with minimal effort. - Easy to relocate
Can be used as permanent or temporary dome structure that can be relocated easily.
- Energy efficient structures
The combination of the latest materials and technologies used in DUOL air domes offers you low operating costs. DUOL air domes are energy efficient as they can be used in a seasonal way or only when needed for protection from certain weather conditions and can be removed when not needed. Furthermore, it is possible to use the translucent membrane feature that allows the transmission of day-light inside air dome. - Conforms to all safety standards
DUOL air supported structures conform to all safety standards and regulations as they are resistant to fire, earthquakes and UV. Structures are made of a double-layered extremely durable membrane which is vandalism-proof. All structures are provided with an emergency backup unit and they are eco-friendly and 100% recyclable. DUOL is also certified with ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. - Long lifespan
DUOL air domes have a lifespan of more than 40 years. - Modern customizable design and branding
DUOL air supported structures have a modern design and could be -unlike traditional building- easily branded and customized in terms of colors and logos to fit the marketing and branding plan of the client. - No wasted space
One of the important advantages of DUOL air domes is the space saving inside the structure as they do not contain traditional buildings frames and pillars which allows several design options without wasting any available space. - SmartDome
DUOL air supported structures are featured with an intelligent and advanced control and monitoring system that automatically controls the entire dome settings. The air dome can also be managed remotely via internet and smartphones. - Multi-purpose structures
We are specialized in several types of air domes. We construct multi-purpose sports facilities, agricultural halls, logistics and industrial structures, temporary buildings (exhibition halls, entertainment venues, temporary warehouses), structures for civil purposes (hospitals, refugee camps, emergency centres) and military purposes.
Air domes general operation principle
- The air dome is a large clear span, covered with one or more layers of special PVC coated fabric and anchored to the ground, under internal pressure and without any kind of construction; the pressurized air is the main construction element.
- The ventilation system provides a slight overpressure inside the air dome to ensure the distinguished form of the air dome, hence the stability of the air dome under all climatic condition. It is necessary to inflate certain amount of air in the air dome constantly. The same inflating units can work as a heating unit, to heat up the entire space. The optimal pressure inside the air dome is 200-300 Pascal under normal conditions, depends on the air dome size and specifications. The ventilation system ensures the fresh air circulation inside the air dome to keep a healthy, fresh and cool environment for the visitors inside the air dome.
- In the case of local electricity supply failure or pressure loss, the emergency backup unit intervenes immediately; the supply of electricity to all units can additionally be provided by the electrical generator. Air domes are built to code and are structurally stable structures – even in extreme weather.
The air dome concept is relatively new and was implemented on a large scale by David H. Geiger during Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan in 1970. After the initial prototype, many research & innovations followed in this field in order to create the best possible structure. With huge experiences and many innovative solutions, we are proud to be market and technology leader.
