- The exterior of the domes is concrete reinforced with galvanized steel mesh and fibers. The domes were built from building kits manufactured by American Ingenuity. To view a summary on advantages of the Aidome, click Summary. There is no wood in or on the exterior dome walls or roof. No wood to burn, no wood for termites to eat and no wood to interrupt the insulation. There is only pressure treated wood to frame in around exterior doors and windows.
- American Ingenuity gives a warranty of 225 mph wind and F4 tornado on the exterior dome panels against structural damage due to winds for ten years. The warranty does not include the exterior framed walls, exterior doors/windows, interior items or life and limb. The warranty is not transferable. In the above photo gallery, there is a picture of a dumpster containing roofing from a neighbor’s house when Hurricane Jeanne ripped the roof off the neighbors house. There was no damage to the concrete dome.
- The exterior has no roof to replace every 11-12 years. The exterior concrete is painted with elastomeric paint.
- The exterior wall has seven inch thick modified expanded polystyrene insulation (R28). This means the exterior walls and roof have the same composition. Because the dome has 30% less exterior surface area, the insulation is R28 and is not interrupted by wood, the cooling and heating bills are low. I can cool the 1,075 dome home for less than $27 a month in the hot Florida Summer Months. 76 degrees when home and 79 degrees when not home. The dome is an all-electric house.

- We received this Facebook question and wanted to share it and our answer:
Q: Ai, just out of curiosity, how often do you have the sales like you have been having? It’s an amazing deal and beings it will be a while before I could purchase, just curious if it’s once a year or more or less frequently?
A: It is very unusual to have a finished Ai concrete dome for sale. So this is a rare opportunity for anyone desiring to purchase a finished American Ingenuity dome to do so instead of starting from scratch having to select property, determine the floor plan layout, purchase building plans, obtain a building permit; purchase dome building kit and then assemble and finish the dome.
Why Purchase a Home Built From an Aidome?
The geodesic dome was built from an American Ingenuity (Ai) dome building kit which consists of prefabricated triangle shaped panels and four foot tall riser panels. The dome’s exterior is fire resistant concrete reinforced with galvanized steel mesh and fibers. Its insulation is R28
Why is a Geodesic Dome So Strong?
Geodesic domes are three-dimensional structures using stable triangles approximating spheres to create multiple load carrying paths from point of load to point of support. The triangle is the only arrangement of structural members that is stable within itself without requiring additional connections at the intersection points to prevent warping of the geometry. In other words, apply pressure to one edge of a triangle, and that force is evenly distributed to the other two sides, which then transmit pressure to adjacent triangles. That cascading distribution of pressure is how geodesic domes efficiently distribute stress along the entire structure, much like the shell of an egg.
