How do domes handle cold?

Domes are designed to effectively handle cold weather conditions and maintain a cozy and comfortable interior temperature even in sub-polar climates like Finnish Lapland.
To create a cozy and warm winter dome, several essential accessories play a vital role.

The first crucial element is the insulation liner, which effectively retains heat and acts as a vapor barrier to prevent moisture buildup inside the dome. Two insulation options are available: the Standard Alum-Air Insulation recommended for temperatures down to -15°C, and the Insulation+ for colder climates, providing equivalent insulation to 13cm of styrofoam.

For added warmth, a wood-burning stove with a specially designed chimney creates a pleasant atmosphere, ensuring comfort during chilly days. The stove’s ceramic combustion chamber and isolated steel base plate guarantee safety and prevent heat from affecting the dome’s walls and flooring.

To maintain proper air circulation and prevent condensation, the solar-powered fan supports natural ventilation, powered by solar energy on sunny days or electricity on cloudy days.

Surprisingly, air-conditioning can be useful even in winter. Equipped with a heating option, the air conditioner maintains a consistent interior temperature regardless of the season, making it suitable for regions with extreme winter and sunny summer conditions.

To complete the winter dome experience, a tailor-made PVC Ground Membrane prevents humidity and unwanted insects from entering the dome, while allowing you to personalize the interior with various floor coverings.
