How to order an Airform for your Monolithic Dome

Airforms are ordered by the square footage of the gross surface area, the number of augmentations, and patterning charges.

The augmentations are the "blisters" or additions we add for doors and windows if desired. In most cases it may be more beneficial to call for a firm quote. (Doors and windows can be installed by framing the openings and adding them later. Augmentations are not a necessity on all domes.)

The price scale slides for several reasons. Included in the square foot price is the airlock tube. The smaller Airforms have a larger percentage of waste. They also have a higher percentage cost for patterning and layout.

Calculate the surface area of the Monolithic Dome to be constructed. Look up the square foot cost in the appropriate table. Multiply the surface area times the cost per square foot.

Augmentation Costs

Window and door augmentations add $170 for patterning for each size change or building size change.
Add $250 for each augmentation for fabrication 3' to 9' in width.
Add $500 for each augmentation for fabrication 10' or more in width.
For large sizes or large numbers of augmentations, please call for a quotation.
All square footages are computed to be the gross surface area.

We would appreciate six weeks lead time on the Airforms. But it is possible, on certain colors and situations, for us to have a completed Airform in three to five days.

Notes:

Stock colors are: White, and Sandstone. (Click here to view color samples of airforms.)
Add 10% for non-stock color as a minimum. Call for quote.
All prices are FOB our plant in Italy, Texas. We ship freight collect by your designated carrier. If you do not have a carrier preference, we will ship it the best way we can find. We wrap the Airform and place it on a pallet for shipping. If crating is needed, or requested, it is extra.
Airform construction is still an art. Augmentations are still new. We do not claim perfection for either. We do our very best to make the Airforms wrinkle free-- knowing we cannot do so at present. We pledge to do the best we can, however some field fitting may be necessary.
Prices subject to change without notice.
EcoShell Airforms are constructed of Type III material or equal— least stretch.
Tarps are $1.00 per sq. ft. and $.15 per grommet -- call for quantities over 1000 sq. ft.
