Question 1

How much does an air dome cost?

Accepted Answer

Air dome prices in 2024 vary based on size. A 36x18m dome (648m2) costs between 100,000-150,000 EUR, while a larger 72x36m dome (2,592m2) ranges from 210,000-250,000 EUR. For very large installations like a 115x80m dome (9,200m2), prices range from 800,000-1,100,000 EUR. These prices include standard features and basic installation. Custom requirements may affect final pricing.

Question 2

What factors affect the final price of an air dome?

Accepted Answer

Several factors influence air dome pricing: 1) Size - larger domes have better price per square meter efficiency (from 193 EUR/m2 for small domes to 80 EUR/m2 for larger ones), 2) Location requirements - foundation work and local building codes, 3) Additional features - HVAC systems, lighting, emergency systems, 4) Access doors and emergency exits, 5) Customization requirements. We provide detailed cost breakdowns during consultation.

Question 3

How much does it cost to run an air dome?

Accepted Answer

Operational costs vary based on usage. Key expenses include electricity costs for inflation and lighting (larger air domes with frequent use of lighting can significantly increase running costs) and heating costs which depend on factors like target temperature, outside temperature, and duration of heating.

Question 4

How long does it take to build an air dome?

Accepted Answer

For first-time installation: Small air domes (e.g., 3-court tennis) take up to 5 days. Large air domes (e.g., football) take about 2 weeks. Seasonal setup/dismantling typically completes in 1 day for small to medium air domes. Large air domes are rarely dismantled as they consist of multiple parts and often remain up year-round.

Question 5

What types of heating can be used in an air dome?

Accepted Answer

Heating depends on available site resources. Common sources include gas and hot water heating. Alternative options include oil (if permitted), eco-friendly wooden pellet heating (space required for a large fuel tank), or electric heating (suitable only for small air domes like a single tennis court).

Question 6

Does the fan need to run 24/7?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the fan must run continuously to maintain pressure, as air domes are not fully airtight. Air escapes through doors and foundations. All our air domes include an advanced control system that adjusts motor frequency and power to maintain the set pressure efficiently, minimizing energy consumption.

Question 7

Are inflatable structures durable enough for long-term use?

Accepted Answer

Our air domes are built with high-strength materials that withstand harsh weather conditions. They're designed for long-term use and often outlast traditional structures. Many of our clients have been using their domes for over a decade with minimal maintenance.

Question 8

Are air domes too expensive compared to traditional buildings?

Accepted Answer

Air domes offer significant cost advantages. For example, a 36x36m (1,296m2) dome costs between 130-180k€, much less than traditional construction. They're quicker to install, reducing labor costs. Their energy-efficient design lowers utility bills. Plus, their portability means you can relocate if needed, saving on future construction costs.

Question 9

Can these structures handle extreme weather conditions?

Accepted Answer

Our air domes are engineered to withstand severe weather, including high winds and heavy snow loads. They're designed with advanced pressure systems and reinforced materials. In fact, many of our domes have survived hurricanes and blizzards that damaged nearby traditional buildings.

Question 10

Will the interior of an air dome be too dark and gloomy?

Accepted Answer

Our air domes are designed with translucent materials that allow natural light to flood the interior. Many clients are surprised by how bright and airy the space feels. We can also install additional lighting systems to ensure the perfect illumination for any activity.

Question 11

Are inflatable structures only suitable for temporary use?

Accepted Answer

While air domes are excellent for temporary applications, they're equally well-suited for permanent installations. Many of our clients use them as long-term solutions for sports facilities, warehouses, and event spaces. With proper maintenance, these structures can serve as permanent buildings for decades.
