Hello Students, Title: The On Line Dome Building Workshop Welcome. In this workshop we aim to give you deep insight about how to build a basalt fibre reinforced concrete Dome Shell structure. We teach the simplest and most cost-effective method of building ultra-strong safe homes and shelter. The Domeshells method can
On its way. In this video we explain how we fabricate door and window frames and other elements using basalt fibre reinforced concrete
Coming soon. In this video we show you how to fabricate a simple but essential temporary element of the fabrication process.
Coming soon. In this video we show you how to cut and install the vertical basalt reinforcing bars – its really simple.
Coming soon. In this video we show you how to calculate the length of the bars and how they are installed onto the build.
Coming soon. In this video we look at how we install the prefabricate window and door frame into the dome shell frame.
Coming soon. In this video we show you how we install conduit for electrical and wiring and how we power up the dome
Coming soon. In this video we will take a look at how we use chopped fibre and when and also other types of mesh for specific connection joints or for additional reinforcing.
Coming soon. In this video we show you how we go about apply the sand and cement render (mortar) to the basalt frame including applying by hand trowel and also using a hand held hopper spray machine.
Coming soon. In this video we will show you how we use perlite lightweight concrete as an outer layer. In addition we will show you the best way to apply a hemp crete external thermal layer over the structural shell that not only keeps it cool in summer but also increases
Coming soon. In this video we will show you how we get a finish on the internal rendering of the dome.
