Aircrete is a lightweight non-toxic material that is made simply from Cement, water, and foam. The foam is produced by mixing a foaming agent with water and passing the solution through a foam generator using an air compressor.
The millions of added foam bubbles are what give Aircrete it’s superior insulation properties and make for a lightweight product that is easy to build with, unlike its concrete counterpart.
Even once fully set, Aircrete can still be cut, carved, sawn and rasped, rendering it the perfect material to create a smooth dome shape.
The simple concrete and foam mix makes a most economical product for construction at a cost of around 70c per block depending on size..
It hardens overnight and is ready to be used for building within days, but continues to harden over time.
Acoustic insulation is yet another beneficial property of Aircrete, having been used for decades between floors in high-rise buildings to minimise noise.
At Aircrete Domes Australia, we believe everyone deserves access to affordable, resilient and sustainable housing options. Our vision is to empower everyday people with the skills, knowledge and confidence to create their own spaces, whether that’s a tiny house, off-grid retreat, studio, shed, or council-approved home.
Through hands-on education, community connection and practical learning, we’re helping people think differently about housing and discover new pathways towards greater self-reliance, creativity and freedom. We don’t just teach a building method—we share a vision of what’s possible when people come together, learn new skills and support one another.
