Introducing the future. A revolutionary building material that is quickly becoming popular across the globe. This building material is energy efficient, it's low in cost, and proven capable of withstanding natural disasters! You can use the materials to build about anything, including a single family home, adding a garage space, or even starting a business.

Our most popular Item available is our durable Dome Structure. Each dome consists of 8 pieces that are fastened together, then concreted and textured. Assembly of the dome takes less than a day which cuts the cost of labor tremendously.

The possibilities of use for the domes are endless! Here are a few examples of what the dome can be used for:

single family homes mother in law suites spas restaurants saunas pool houses game rooms concession stands ice cream parlors promotional use great for rental communities office space indoor gardening playroom for the

alternatives in today market Self insulated HUGE energy savings Benefits: BreakDown: The X-Dome has a number of unique benefits: construction affordability, healthy environment, disaster protection, energy savings, longevity, just to name a few.

X-Dome Benefits: Green Buildings People admire X-Domes for many different reasons. Some like their graceful, curved lines. Others admire their open, clear-span interiors. Still others become fascinated with the technical aspects of X-Dome construction. But besides those characteristics, the X-Dome offers another that is vitally important today because it has to do with our environment. X-Domes are green buildings – they are considered among the greenest of today’s building alternatives.

X-Dome Benefits: Survivability Whether it’s your home, your children’s school or some other structure that you and your loved ones spend time in, nothing beats knowing that you’re in a place that cannot be destroyed by most natural or manmade disasters. That’s the confidence X-Domes offer. They meet or exceed FEMA’s standards for providing near-absolute protection. X-Domes are proven survivors of tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and fires.

X-Dome Benefits: Energy

Page 5: X-Dome Magazine

The X-Dome is a micro-energy user. It needs a minimum of energy to maintain a comfortable interior, usually one fourth of that used by other types of structures. In fact, it takes less energy to heat or cool a X-Dome than it does to heat or cool a super-insulated metal building or a conventional house blanketed in an airtight wrap.

X-Dome Benefits: Strength The X-Dome has strength that produces longevity. Its lifespan is measured in centuries, not years. In fact, right now, we don’t know just how many centuries a X-Dome will last. But we do know that it is a structure that can be designed and constructed to be passed down to and used by generations. Easy maintenance complements the dome’s longevity. In other words, a X-Dome cannot only last for centuries, it can last beautifully just with easy care.

More about X-Dome Benefits In addition to energy-efficiency, environmental friendliness, strength and survivability, the X-Dome has other benefits you can read about in this section. Here are three examples: A X-Dome’s construction process saves both money and time. X-Domes are usually built in 12-24 Hours. A dome’s interior can be planned and designed for any activity or use and with virtually any theme. The dome’s disaster-resistance usually merits lower insurance premiums

What is your dome made of? Our Domes are made up of 8 equal sized sections of a material called EPS. EPS stands for Expanded polystyrene which is a plastic foam material that has certain desirable properties because of its structure. It is extraordinarily light and buoyant, and a good insulator against heat /cold and sound. It can be used as a building material or a design element, and can be molded into many shapes for a number of household uses as well. In most cases, expanded polystyrene foam is white and is composed of small, interconnected beads. It is made by combining the chemicals ethylene and benzene, to make a compound known as styrene. The styrene is then treated with other chemicals which cause the styrene molecules to polymerize, or to group together in long chains. This reaction is only allowed to proceed to a certain point, and is then stopped. The resulting beads are allowed to cool and are then cleaned. After formation and cleaning, the beads must be expanded, which happens in three main stages. First, the beads are heated with hot air or steam until their density is three percent of its original value. The beads are then cooled for 24 hours and molded. Once inside the mold, they are injected with low-pressure steam, which further expands the beads and fuses them together. When the mold is cooled, the expanded polystyrene is finished and ready for use or shipment. When choosing EPS you are getting a material with built-in features that provide environmental benefits. Building materials and their impact on the environment must be considered over the full life of the building structure. This is considered the ”life cycle” of the building. This includes inventorying the cost to the environment from material production, transportation, installation, use, and end of life reuse, recycling, or disposal. Research has shown that for both residential buildings and commercial buildings that operations contribute to over 90% of the building’s impact on global warming. Reducing energy use and its resulting pollution is the best way to reduce our impact on the environment. The energy savings from EPS in structures can translate into emission reductions of tons of carbon dioxide per year EPS improves the energy efficiency over the full operating life of the building resulting in a positive impact on the environment.

Dimensions Internal Diameter: 19.68ft / 6 Mts Height Max to center: 9.84ft / 3 Mts Useful Area: 304.61 sqft / 28.30 Mts Unfinished Wall Thickness: 3.94 Inches / 10 Cms Unfinished Dome Weight: 330 lbs / 150Kgs EPS always comes in green. EPS helps make construction projects environmentally friendly. Lower energy consimption reduces carbon dioxide emissions Is inert and stable Does not produce contaminating leachates Has never contained CFC, HCFC, or HFC, all of which harmful to earth's ozone layer Recycling. EPS is 100% recyclable. It can be ground into granules and reincorporated into new EPS products. Or it can be thermally processed into a resin that’s used to manufacture other new products.
