Geodesic Dome T-STAR Connectors Kit for DIY

T-STAR is the most robust system we have. The star-shaped hubs are connected with screws to the frame elements (struts). Many types of frame materials are suitable for this system of joints: steel, aluminum, structural, and glued wood.


T-STAR System Elements

T-STAR system elements are available in anti-corrosion classes C3, C4, C5.

Advantages: The most robust and most versatile system we have, withstands high structural loads, a wide range of coating combinations. Withstands snow loads up to 10 kN/m2 and hurricanes up to category V.

Static Calculation according to Eurocode.

Usage: Suitable for many types of spatial constructions of complex geometric shapes, buildings, domes, engineering equipment. The T-STAR system is used to construct administrative, commercial and industrial buildings or their pats such as roofs, large skylights, curved-line facades.

Various geometries: Icosahedron, Zome, Octahedron, Tetra, cylinder, egg, high dome, flat dome.


Connector choices

The connectors consist of CNC equipment cut parts, arranged at precise angles and vectors, and welded to each other.

Accurate 3D design and digitized production, professional spatial welding ensure high assembly accuracy of structures and fast installation on site.

  • Steel connectors - Steel grades S235-S355. Coating options: hot-dip galvanized 50 mkr, electrochemical galvanizing 20 mkr, RAL powder-painting, RAL two-component painting, fireproof painting.
  • Stainless steel connectors – Stainless steel AISI304-316. Coating options: matt, sanded, polished, mirrored.
  • Aluminium connectors - Aluminum 7076. Coating options: RAL powder coating, anodizing.


Frame elements – struts

The section consists of ready-to-install products – profiles or wood products. The products are cut and sorted to length, including mounting holes.

The struts are marked, which shortens the time of their installation on site.

  • Glued timber struts: Product height 50-200 mm. Coating options: natural planed surface, painted, burnt.
  • Solid wood struts: Product height 50-200 mm. Coating options: natural planed surface, painted, burnt.
  • Stainless steel struts: T, U, C, L, H, HEB-shaped profiles. Profile height: 50-200 mm. Steel grades: AISI304-316. Coating options: matt, sanded, polished, mirrored.
  • Tailor made metal constructions: T, U, C, L, H, HEB-shaped profiles. Profile height: 50-200 mm. Steel hot rolled grades: S235-S350. Steel coating options: hot-dip galvanized 50 mcr, electrochemical galvanizing 20 mcr, RAL powder-coating, RAL two-component painting, fireproof painting.
  • Hollow Steel Section (HSS) metal profiles: U, C, L, Omega-shaped profiles. Profile height: 50-300 mm. Structural steel, cold rolled, galvanized grades: S350 + Z275MAT. Steel coating options: electrochemical galvanizing 20 mcr, RAL powder-painting, RAL two-component painting, fireproof painting.

 

Coatings, suitable for T-STAR system
