A monolithic dome is a structure cast in a one-piece form and is constructed following a method that involves a tough, inflatable Airform, steel-reinforced concrete and a polyurethane foam insulation.

Monolithic Domes meet FEMA standards for providing near-absolute protection and have a proven ability to survive tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, most manmade disasters, fire, termites, and rot. They can be constructed on virtually any site: in the mountains, on beaches, even underground or underwater.

They are cost-efficient, earth-friendly, extremely durable and easily maintained. A Monolithic Dome uses about 50% less energy for heating and cooling than a same-sized, conventionally constructed building.

The dome-shaped structure possesses two advantages, first being, great strength and the other being good insulation. The strength is due to the natural strength of the arch, and the insulation is due to the minimal surface area of a spherical section.
