Air-supported hall with a window

Abstract

The air dome includes one or several membrane shells made from plastic film material. It has on at least one longitudinal or transverse side a frame construction which is connected to the bordering membrane material, and in the frame profile at least one transparent film is incorporated, for forming a window front. The air dome includes one or several membrane shells made of plastic film. The membranes are formed as double-ply membranes with an outer and inner membrane and divided into strips. The strips can be connected along their longitudinal edges by means of a keder having a keder connection profile in a force-locked manner. Surface heat-reflective mats can have multiple layers of absorption-reducing air bubble film to reduce the transmission heat losses. The construction of such a constructed air dome can be handled by two people as well as the dismantling and the transporting and interim storage.
