Thermoforming: the technology behind round monolithic domes

The thermoforming of domes is an industrial process that involves the controlled heating of plastic sheets until they become moldable, followed by shaping on dedicated molds. This technology makes it possible to produce monolithic domes in a single piece, eliminating joints and points of discontinuity.

The main advantages of thermoforming applied to round domes include:

• uniform thickness and dimensional accuracy;

• smooth, regular surfaces with high aesthetic quality;

• increased mechanical strength and long-term durability;

• consistent quality and repeatability, ideal for large roof installations.

Thanks to thermoforming, Poliform Lucernari round monolithic domes can be customized in terms of size, materials, and performance characteristics, adapting to different application contexts and regulatory requirements.

Technical features of round monolithic domes

Round monolithic domes are designed to deliver reliable performance even in challenging environmental conditions. Their continuous structure enhances safety and reduces the risk of water infiltration, making them particularly suitable for industrial and commercial roofing.

Key technical features include:

• high natural light transmission, improving visual comfort and energy efficiency;

• resistance to weathering and UV radiation;

• watertightness and airtightness, thanks to the absence of joints;

• compatibility with smoke and heat exhaust systems (ENFC) when integrated into certified configurations;

• easy installation and reduced maintenance, due to lightweight materials and manufacturing precision.
