There was a company that made "Foam Domes" in the Colorado Springs area in the 1980's. So this has been around for quite awhile. The one that I worked on was being built to become a daycare center. The company making the dome inflated a plastic form and sprayed the foam on the inside. Later on it was found that the foam was outgassing formaldehyde and the daycare had to close.

Closed cell polyurethane foam that is inside of a wall assembly (or protected as such) does not break down. And assuming it is applied properly (new machines will literally not allow you to spray off-ratio) then it also does not "off gas" or "cause cancer". It is used in everything from boats to homes. It is the single best insulator we have in the industry. Furthermore, the new water-based blowing agents (that have become state-mandated years ago) basically eliminate the global-warming potential that was the primary issue with spray foams.

Its Polyurethane foam. isolate 30 degrees of heat. And because of steel structure, create more firm structure, specially dome shape and anchored on Portland concrete. Its great! But remember the life expectancy of these type of foam is 20 years. Protect in the first three years( on time yearly) with a roof coating to avoid sun rays that pulverized the foam. The idea is great enjoy your house.

Comprehensive list. Unless they used some type of special type foam with fire retardant properties (I doubt it, but anything is possible), then add fire hazard and toxic smoke to the list.

If no one has told you, the emissions linked to manufacturing and spraying of that foam is more than the insulation energy savings assuming the foam last 100 years. The way you did it will not last 20 years. you basically built the least environmentally sustainable structure outside of a ICF construction since concrete is the only thing worse than foam in terms of emission intensity but at least those structures will last for at least 50 years if not more.

The plastic inner barrier should mean very little issues within? It's painted as well. I think I would have liked some chicken-wire/fence-wire on the outside of the dome structure before the foam, but it seems like an interesting idea.

So people living like this are smart we don't have to pay rent, mortgage, electric bills, or water bill, and our property tax is low, around $170 a year.

Ive been using this method to do outdoor pondscapes for years. Lean into the paint. any, and I mean any UV will grind the foam to dust. If you miss a good coat on a spot you will know withing six months. The awesome part is if you do need to repair just bread knife out the area thats rough and remove the chunk.

I sprayed foam for about 20 years. He was a little lumpy on the smoothness. I would have recommended a Gunnite finish so that the coating wouldn't break down or leave any pinholes for sunlight deterioration. Eventually the dome will have to be recoated. Perhaps you could concrete it then.

Coincidentally me and my family *lived* on 40 acres ourselves in Kansas Settlement near Wilcox Arizona in the late 80's and early 90's. We were near Wilcox Dry Lake Playa (I could see it from the 3rd floor of the main house - good place to look for meteorites, I found out sadly *after* we moved away) and we did get a little flooding during the Monsoon Rains. (And oh, the almost Biblical plagues of *frogs* - Sonoran Desert Toads - that soon appeared like a green carpet on the desert floor shortly after a rainstorm!! You could not drive without killing *dozens*, as they went *pop* *pop* *pop*. We also got strong dust storms too (a glass diving facemask and a bandana or my dads painting mouth filter mask helped when I had to go outside or from my little guest house to the main house!) Oh yeah, and as for plants grown here - in Wilcox and Kansas Settlement they grow *wine grapes* and *cotton* (a very water intensive crop!) That was done through a combination of Monsoon rainwater, irrigation from wells dug down to the aquifer, and water like Central Arizona Project Water piped in from the Colorado River - but as of 2 years ago we got our State allotment of that water cut because of the drought from less rainfall and less snowpack in the Rockies and other mountains due to warmer weather year after year (aka Global Warming.) On the land we were living on the owners (we rented) had planted a small grove of a few dozen green apple trees - oh yeah, people grow red apple trees for making cider - there is a cider plant - and the owners of the land we were renting had been busted for running a small pot farm on the land (how/why they did not *lose* the land for that, I have no idea!)

There is NOTHING ingenuous about this build! Nothing like thinking you’re doing something cutting edge then finding out you’re not going to be able to live in it! The sheer amount of PFAS chemicals that they’re using is very RECKLESS and the off gassing that’s already happening and will continue to happen and constant heat that will beat down on that place EVEN if they cover it with a reflective material will off gas toxic chemicals that cause cancer, cardiovascular diseases, kidney and liver diseases….need I say more! These people did ZERO research! PFAS chemicals are a list of over 100 toxic chemicals that are put into this foam which are toxic and these chemicals leech! Spray foam is at the top of the list! Teflon is a PFAS chemical, like your teflon cookware! When you cook with it the teflon leeches into your food! PFAS has been found in so many things we use everyday such as city water, anything plastic or plastic coated all the way down to the receipts you get at the grocery store. The shiny coating on the receipt and the shiny coating on your fast food burger wrapper! PFAS can cause infertility and also causes developmental issues in children. I cannot imagine the long term affects of living in this home and breathing it in all day everyday, and the accelerated impact during the hottest days! Very VERY dangerous! The sad part is that because of this couples lack of research they were probably talked into buying into this being a perfect way to build a home cheap and fast . This is because the companies who have been manufacturing these products such as 3M have been sued by the Federal Government and have a short timeframe for getting rid of it and cleaning up the mess they made. Don’t believe me….do your own research please! You’ll be shocked and frightened like I was and still am whenever I come across people in situations like this! Even the plastic sheeting is toxic, forget about the chance of poisoning themselves with the heavy metals that will fall from the pipes they’re using for the dome construction. It’s really sad. PFAS chemicals are also known as Forever Chemicals and that is because these chemicals do not metabolize when they get into your body, they just stack up.

I spray foam a lot, as in I'm sick of it. And you're going to need a couple more coats because you absolutely DO NOT have 2" of foam on the top. At 13:30 when you walk inside you can see light spots everywhere, that indicates less than 1". Also when you attempt to walk on it painting the way it sags is at most an inch. 4" should have been the MINIMUM done in 2 layers. You need to address it with whoever told you 2" was sufficient for a permanent structure immediately. The domes we've done were all 4-6" depending on the environment.

@@Rambybambi thanks, I will look them up after replying to you. That's certainly a very thick insulation. I would say that it is designed for extremely cold environs. I live in Australia in an area where our minimum night temp is 2 degrees C, our house gets no less than 18.6 degC. We have a very efficient wood stove that only gets two burns a night in the months of June to September. Our Max summer temp can be 45 degC and on such days our inside temp goes up-to 29 C, but usually we are 36 outside with an inside temp of 25, we only have 12v ceiling fans, which we got from India, but we do have 4 meter ceilings, so that helps. Make sure you get double or even triple glazed windows, well worth the extra 💰 and block up all air holes. It's about controlled air flow.

This is awesome! I've never seen a building done like this before. And I love that the highest number of views on any of their videos before this one is 7,432 'Building Our Bathroom Made Of Earth' and this video has 1,383,352 views in 9 days! WOW!

Finished product looks pretty cool. From the drone shots, it looks like it's made from fresh clay like a work of art.

The comments are brutal! I really wish you guys the best. I hope you fill this dome with love and laughter and many years of happiness. I used to dream about creating an open plan house in the tropics, with plants and trees as living elements of the home...Additionally, I feel like a smaller version of this could be viable as a temp shelter or emergency shelter, maybe in a crisis situation where many cheap shelters are needed quickly, or to live in for a year or two while building a traditional house.

The comments are brutal for justifiable reasons. Use some common sense. And it's annoying to see these two boasting about such a great job they did with little regard for the environment. They solved one problem...building a perishable home quickly while creating dozens of other problems to the owners who purchase and the environment. Of course I'm not going to congratulate stupidity.

Being in the Army for a while, I know OD Green when I see it. Pretty cool guys, you had a vision and made it happen.

I've seen a similar build before but after foaming the structure it was braced all through, then poultry wire enforced. Then they blew concrete over it all a few inches thick. After a few day's or maybe week or so they removed the bracing from inside. I will watch it all the way through to see the finish anyways. Awesome video. 6:15

No matter what others say, if your happy then it's all good. I lived in an externally foamed cargo container (fitted out with all the comforts of an apartment in any city in the US) in W. Texas for a year and was very comfortable.

Some people would say that that is very far-fetched. I would say that that is highly intelligent . You just opened up my mind to a lot of building procedures, techniques. I would like to build partially underground in the high mountains of Colorado . People have spray foam roofs. A dome is all roof . So it makes sense. I appreciate the fact that you shared . Bless you guys.🙏🏆👍

@Teuwufel

Ай бұрын

It is highly inteligent? You think? To me it seems extremely ignorant for a few reasons: 1. This foam will release gas for months, which is toxic and will make them ill eventually. 2. Another problem is wind resistance. It has some potential at floating away during heavy winds. 3. It's a giant fire hazard. If it catches fire, it will be gone in seconds, burning them both, or their belongings and releasing even more toxic fumes at once. Also, people don't make their roofs entirely from foam, it contains a lot of other materials to make the structure safer. This is the dumbest idea they could make, obviously without giving it a proper thought. They made a flimsy foam shell wile ignoring all ingenuity and knowledge that humans gathered during last thousands of years. A fool (often) thinks himself to be wise.

Formaldehyd happened, those old foam thingies were basically cancer houses. We got a lot smarter about what chemicals we use in construction these days, it’s not the same foam we used back then. Can’t make up my mind what I think about this, seems like a lot of work on one hand to essentially live in a giant Tupperware bowl that got turned on its head. On the other hand I can appreciate a construction that’s essentially one piece with no seams, then again that’s mostly useful for water tightness, not exactly a large issue in a desert … Speaking about water tightness, pretty sure that foam is completely water and airtight, it can’t breathe. Don’t know enough about desert climate to know wether that’s a problem or not, but in continental climates and given experiences with indoor insulation of older houses, you’ll be growing mold in no time. Also rodents. They love that stuff, building tunnels and nests in it. Easy enough to stop but something one has to pay attention too.

I remember our large Costco covered carport with sides and how I said it needed to be set into 5g buckets of concrete but I was told. "Naw"! I said someday it would take off and sure enough we were climbing up onto the thing to cut the tarp roof and sides down as it was hung up at roof height on the barn. Exciting times considering how the local " high voltage" power lines ran just to its left as the high winds blew...

Good for you , I hope you have a great life in your new home

Interesting idea, seems to work well. Thank you.

With the inflated cost of housing, this is a great tiny home. Maybe a pole barn car port for outdoor storage. Water is always an issue, but electricity in a desert is abundant.

How sustainable is this foam? Will it leak toxins into the surrounding? How healthy is it living in such a place with all the fumes etc? It looks great but are the technical properties and the price as well as the quality of living really that much better than using the materials nature gives us in our direct surrounding?

@markmayhem2173

Ай бұрын

No fumes at all with this type of foam. It can only offgas during the initial reaction for less than 15 seconds while it is expanding then it becomes completely innert. The foam is closed cell and has a hard shell like an epoxy resin.

I too was worried about the toxic nature of cheap foam but there are products out there that are much friendlier to the environment. They mentioned the need to paint due to its sensitivity it uv light which tell me it is the less toxic stuff. And it is only 2 inches thick so its probably not that durable over the long tern. I would probably do a 2-3 inch adobe outer layer with "chicken wire" in between. Trim all the openings with bamboo based wood inside and out and use reclaimed wood, stone, and metals to finish the interior. Most materials you can get for little more than the cost of time and fuel. Habitat restores are a great resource for building materials and fixtures. Granit countertops for about $10 per foot, kitchen cabinets for $25-100 each flooring for $1 per sq ft. Sinks, tubs, lighting, and furniture all for pennies on the dollar. And i always see fixtures and other stuff on fb market for free. So you only pay full price for the land, main structure, electrical, and plumbing.

Sadly for them , i would bet money that house is unliveable within 5 years unless they spray a 30 mm layer of foamcrete or styrocrete over it then while its still wet , wrap it in mesh and spray another 50 mm of foamcrete over the top as an absolute minimum. . For me i would have just used Hempcrete from day one with no nasty chemicals. Where they live they could have grown the hemp , decorticated by hand , dried it , mixed their own hempcrete and poured it into a dome slipform.

Of course I turned to my wife and ask her did you every here the hum. She said no. I said turn on a fan then for some white noise. But even with the fan it will still drive you crazy if you can hear that good. after a year he had enough and moved out. And i see other houses like yours in the background.

Foam isnt great with liquid water so whatever they seal it with will be very important to be water repellent. Foam has a terrible halflife for its rvalue as it degrades with time. It also provides the least rvalue per inch thickness. Its installation quality also impacts wjether you get that rvalue or not. Foam is noy a silver bullet for anything. Its used strategically in traditional srick framing for air sealing which is a great use, but as other commenters have pointed out its a very toxic material and there arent any recycling methods for it :(

this is an industrial exterior roofing product designed to hold up to rain, hail, heat, etc. UV light definitely damages it over time which is why we keep it coated in UV protective paint. Kyle's dome is built the same way as ours and his house has R value off the charts.

Sorry, but this comment is far from reality on nearly every point. Closed cell spray foam has the HIGHEST R-value of any commercially available insulation, and has less degradation than other insulation types as well. It is also the only insulation that doesn't need replaced when flooded out, and adds tremendous structural strength to the structure. It is also the only insulation that doesn't absorb dirt, dust, mouse feces, mold, and other contaminants. There's a reason you pay a premium for it!
