Watch this video about AirCrete dome buildingThis video explains how we built Steve Areen's famous dome at The Gibran Center in Thailand. It demonstrates the amazing qualities of AirCrete and how you can make AirCrete yourself. We've made a lot of progress since publishing this video. And we'll be sharing more about that in future blog posts. So stay tuned!

We finish the outer surface with a thin layer of stucco and reinforcing fabric. This works very well to produce a crack proof surface and very strong structure. You can also reinforce AirCrete by adding fiber to the mixture. PVA fiber works especially well. Here's a link to one fabric we use, https://www.apoc.com/products/roof-reinforcements-firm-polyester-reinforcing-fabric-apoc-482f

My husband is a contractor and has also worked for many years in the commercial concrete business, he is about to go to one of his workshops in February. Hopefully my husband can incorporate this building material in his business. He will be building us a dome home on our land soon.

A wall crafted from such a cloth that, despite the fact that, in itself, has no intrinsic fee and may be swept aside with one finger, must be respected owning to its repute as art.
