| Temcor Aluminum Domes  Efficient in design, distinctive in appearance, unsurpassed in quality and value - Temcor Aluminum Domes are as beautiful as they are efficient and enduring. The Temcor Aluminum Dome is a unique and patented triangulated space truss skinned with aluminum panels secured by a patented Temcor batten closure system. With an ability to cover spans from 40 to more than 1000 feet, Temcor Aluminum Domes are specified for churches, arenas, planetariums and observatories… wherever clear-span roof systems are needed. Aluminum integrated structural frames are permanent and lightweight and optional panel systems offer eye-dazzling options.The dome's superior structural design gives it many advantages. Using proprietary variations of geodesic geometry, Temcor Aluminum Domes are noted for their ability to meet exacting live load requirements by providing greater stiffness and strength, pound-for-pound, than any other dome geometry system. Temcor domes have been designed for snow loads of up to 165 pounds per square foot and windloads of up to 150 mph. And, Temcor's panel design is specifically engineered to support loads of up to 500 pounds on any one square foot. And the energy efficiency of Temcor Aluminum Domes translates to reduced operating expenses. Since they're made of aluminum, they have the inherent advantage of high heat reflectivity and low emissivity. That means lower heating and cooling costs. Save on maintenance dollars too. The permanent aluminum exterior never rusts, rots, spalls, or solar degrades. And because Temcor Aluminum Domes use less material and labor than conventional constructions, overall costs are lower and construction time is faster. The built-in advantages of aluminum and lifetime beauty of a Temcor Aluminum Dome will be appreciated for years to come. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
