Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Can Temcor build structures in different shapes (different, for instance, than a traditional dome shape)?
Yes, Temcor 's pioneering Aluminum structure design and geometry is as flexible as it is strong. We not only design and build all-aluminum clear-span domes, but we also offer traditional column and/or truss supported structures, flat, low-profile roofing systems, and a wide-range of customized products ranging from architectural and decorative elements to one-of-a-kind enclosures for scientific and recreational uses.
What shapes and sizes does Temcor offer?
Temcor customizes each structure to meet the exact requirements of each project and to best suit functional needs. We can build traditional Aluminum Domes as large as 300 meters in diameter and we build custom structures ranging from ellipsoidal to egg-shaped, from concave to convex, from horizontal to vertical, from spherical to flat.
Does Temcor build column-supported structures?
We do, in instances where column or truss supports are more economical and efficient. Generally, however, most Temcor structures are clear-span and are generally less expensive than column supported structures.
Can Temcor structures be insulated?
Yes. Temcor offers system designs that provide various levels of both thermal and acoustical insulation treatments.
Do Temcor structures meet fire codes?
