Air Structure BasicsWhat is an Air Structure?

An air supported structure is a building formed

from one or more layers of continuous flexible

membrane anchored to the ground or to a

wall, inflated and supported by pressurized air.

Air blowers continuously pump air into the

structure, creating the necessary air pressure

that allows the fabric envelope to stay inflated.

Air structures offer great flexibility, and can be

used as seasonal, permanent or temporary

structures.

A Safe & Structurally-Sound Alternative

to Conventional Construction

Arizon’s buildings are designed to meet

standard building codes, and will maintain

their structural integrity even during inclement

weather. Our buildings are designed by our in-

house engineering team to meet our clients’

requested specifications and ensure that all

safety measurements are taken.

Primary Components | Exterior Architectural Fabric

General Description of PVDF-II Exterior Fabric

Arizon generally uses PVDF-coated exterior architectural fabric,

available in white translucent and opaque. Special-order colored

exterior fabric is available for an additional charge.

Features & Benefits

This fabric has an anti-wick treated base cloth, woven from high-

tenacity polyester yarn. It is UV-resistant and anti-aging, easy to

clean, and resistant to dirt and weathering. This fabric also meets

NFPA-70 requrirements.

Warranty

Our PVDF-II fabric comes with a 15-year pro-rata warranty.

*While PVDF-II exterior fabric is our most common product offering, other fabric options and

specifications are available upon request.

Primary Components | Thermaliner & Back Drop

Exclusive High Reflectivity Liner

Providing an insulating air-gap between fabric layer, our

liner material is both highly translucent and reflective,

reducing lighting & heating costs.

Color Back Drop

For many sports & recreation centers, a dark backdrop is

desirable. The liner is available in many different colors, and

is used for the bottom 14 ft. of liner.

.

Primary Components | Insulation

Double Wall Construction

Often seen as the best low-cost option, having the lowest first dollar cost, double wall

construction includes one dead air space between two architectural fabric layers. The

R-value for our double wall construction is calculated at R-3.56.

Triple Wall Construction (with or without Mylar)

Triple wall adds an extra layer of dead air space to the double-wall design to increase

the energy efficiency by 40% and R-value to R-5.54. Triple wall with Mylar even further

increases the insulation value for domes that need to be heated/cooled in extreme

exterior climates, as the inclusion of Mylar reflects solar heat to minimize solar heat

gain. While triple wall and triple wall with Mylar initially require a higher initial

investment as compared to double wall insulation, the level of insulation can

substantially offset operating costs in the long run.

Double Bubble Mylar

An alternative method of insulation, double bubble Mylar is an insulation type that

must be installed in the field.

In our effort to provide comfortable,

energy-efficient facilities, Arizon offers

several insulation options to suit our

clients’ needs.

Primary Components | Cable Systems

A diamond crossing pattern is a hybrid design offering both radial and lateral support for air structures. This system can increase a building’s snow/wind load considerably over radial cable

systems alone.

Providing the highest level of fabric stress relief and support, the full bias

cable grid isolates small sections of the building so that the load is evenly

shared- even during the worst wind/snow conditions.

Tensioned cables in one direction across the barrel of the building, offering some

stress relief from the fabric. General Description
