At RAXTENT, innovation and functionality are at the heart of our design philosophy. Since 2017, we have been pioneers in the development and export of glass domes, starting with our iconic triangular glass domes.
By 2020, we expanded our offerings to include hexagonal honeycomb glass houses. But why did we choose this unique honeycomb structure?
Inspiration Behind the Honeycomb Design
The honeycomb shape, which mimics the natural structure of a beehive, is renowned for its strength and efficiency. This geometric design offers superior structural integrity, allowing forces to be distributed evenly across the surface. When applied to our glass domes, this translates into a robust and resilient building, capable of withstanding the hard conditions.
Unmatched Durability and Performance
For our honeycomb glass domes, we use high-strength 6063 T5 aluminum alloy for the frame, paired with tempered glass panels. The result is a structure that excels in extreme weather conditions. Our honeycomb glass domes can withstand wind speeds of up to 100 km/h and snow loads of 0.5kn/sqm, making them ideal for regions in North America and Northern Europe where high winds and heavy snow are common.
Enhanced Aesthetic and Functional Design
In addition to the hexagonal honeycomb structure, we have incorporated square and pentagonal shapes into the design to add more visual depth and variety. This blend of shapes not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the dome but also contributes to its structural stability. By distributing the load across different geometric forms, the dome remains stable in various conditions, reinforcing its wind and earthquake resistance. Additionally, the design complies with China's seismic standards, ensuring high earthquake resistance. This makes the honeycomb dome not only visually striking but also highly durable, with a lifespan of at least 30 years.
Practical and Spacious Interior
The increased number of connection points in the honeycomb design makes the dome more spherical, which improves the overall space and functionality inside. This regular, symmetrical shape makes it easier to design interior features, such as doors, windows, and partition walls, and allows for better furniture layout. It also simplifies the manufacturing process, enabling precise cutting, fitting, and assembly of both the frame and the glass panels. As a result, the installation process becomes more straightforward and efficient.
A Competitive Edge
At RAXTENT, we pride ourselves on innovation and craftsmanship. Our professional team of structural designers, engineers, and analysts ensures that every product we create meets the highest standards of quality and safety. The honeycomb glass dome design, which received a design patent in 2020, is one of our most competitive products on the market, offering both aesthetic beauty and functional superiority.
With its innovative design, durability, and practical advantages, the RAXTENT honeycomb glass dome is setting new standards for luxury outdoor structures. Whether for glamping resorts, eco-lodges, or private retreats, this unique dome offers an unparalleled experience.
