Why is Air Dome Technology the preferred solution for the Middle East?

In a region that faces extreme heat waves, air domes in the Middle East must be built with state-of-the-art technology to provide the perfect indoor comfort. DUOL’s air domes utilize an ECO membrane system for the best possible thermal insulation and regulation.

DUOL’s air dome technology is designed to provide the ability for sport and recreation to a community throughout the year regardless of weather. While it may be 50 degrees celsius or more outdoors, DUOL’s air dome can provide a regulated temperature that consistently averages around 23 degrees celsius. DUOL’s current designs are proven to be operational in temperatures anywhere between +70 degrees celsius to -55 degrees celsius. This temperature regulation is certainly a welcome relief for those who want to engage in sports and recreation all year!

Some other benefits of DUOL Air Domes include:

• DUOL’s ECO Ultra membrane technology (as used in the Medina project) reduces air conditioning requirements by more than 65%.
• The DUOL ECO Ultra membrane looks sleek and elegant. The overall air dome design doesn’t have the classic wrinkles that can often be seen in other domes, and the lights and all the cables are hidden.
• DUOL’s installation process focuses on speed and efficiency. With the Medina project, the air dome was the first thing to be finished on the site which also required some additional building projects in the area.
• DUOL is the industry-leader and offers the latest protective air dome coatings that are currently available on the market.
• During extreme weather, air domes provide excellent UV protection for users.
• The membrane of every DUOL air dome has been proven to be incredibly durable over time.
• The membrane of DUOL’s air domes are opaque and includes multiple layers for the best possible thermal regulation.
• DUOL’s technology increases energy and acoustic performance, even under extreme weather conditions.
• The membrane of the air dome offers unique and new architectural experiences by providing the ability to create custom designs that fit a specific community’s space.
• As a project partner, DUOL offers complete support for project finalisation.
