Description
Phoenix Domes Zero Infrared Heaters
Description
Sleek, silent, and energy-efficient - this line of dark-facing ceramic infrared heaters has impressed us so much that we just had to offer them to our customers.
Infrared heaters heat the objects and people in the space, not the air - hence they are more efficient, and one actually feels warmer under them than other space heaters! As a dark-facing variant (basically, zero visible light emission), these heaters won't bother you at night with the characteristic red glow of many other infrared options.
Available in 2 sizes, they are a great option to heat a smaller dome or as supplementary heat in a larger one:
- Our 20' Glamping Dome in coastal BC is heated entirely with the 3200W version, which keeps it plenty warm even in the depths of winter!
- Our 13' Treehouse Sphere uses the 1800W model to keep it cozy on chilly nights
The 3200W heater needs to be wired into a panel with a double pole breaker for 220/240V. The 1800W heater can be wired into a single pole 20A breaker running 120V.
The aluminum heater is an economical version with somewhat cheaper materials and 2 instead of 3 heating elements, which makes the heat spread out a little less, but the same heat output as the ceramic models. It needs to be wired into a thermostat of your choice that is suitable for 240V double pole.
Please note that the remote control option cannot be used in conjunction with a thermostat, however it has 4 heat settings and a timer to turn it off automatically.
Infrared heaters are available as Add-Ons individually or with any order - they are generally in-stock and ready to ship!

Product FAQs
Ordering Information
How long will it take to get my Dome?
Shipping normally takes 3 weeks to deliver
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping costs are determined at the moment of quoting (or purchasing) because it varies greatly depending on size, quantity, and how far the location. Please contact us below if you want details about shipping costs.
Do you offer installation?
We never offer installation, as most people do it themselves, without experience. The only rare exception would be if a customer is willing to pay expenses for Phoenix Dome team members to set up multiple domes.
What temperature can the dome handle internally?
The dome is recommended to not go beyond 50 degrees Celsius and not below -20 degrees Celsius.
Do you offer a warranty?
We offer a 5 year warranty against UV damage and deterioration of the cover. However it should last you for 10+ years.
Our frames are Engineered for snow and wind loads and we will provide the report with your dome for peace of mind and permitting.
Availability for colours can fluctuate, as there are very high minimums for custom colours but sometimes some are left at the factory from other projects.
Please inquire about current availability.
Cover colours in stock can be used at no extra charge, some colours will be $500-1,000 more if sourced especially for your project.
Common color's we have used are beige, tan, dark green, and grey.

PLANNING AND BUILDING
What size Dome do I need?
16’/5m – 210 sqft - suitable for short-term guest accommodation for a single or couple with little room for more, if outside facilities are existing for bathroom, kitchen, etc. Also a nice size for an art studio or massage space
20’/6m – 300 sqft. - suitable for a couple with room to lounge/stretch out and a sink/kitchenette if outside bathroom facilities exist. A small bathroom cell can be added for short-term guest accommodation. Also a great size for a studio or yoga/ movement space.
23’/7m – 400 sqft – suitable for a couple or family of 4 with a full bathroom, king size bed, loft bed or pullout couch, and plenty of room to lounge. Our most popular and versatile glamping size. A loft bed above the bathroom/kitchenette is possible.
26’/8m – 540 sqft. – Luxury accommodation that can fit larger families. The height makes a loft area attractive, which can be above the bathroom/kitchen. A separate bedroom is also a possibility.
30’/9m – 700 sqft – This size is great for a yoga studio, outdoor classroom, workshop space, or a long term residence for 2.
33’/10m – 850 sqft – Yoga studio, circus arts, events, dance and workshop, a restaurant dining area, or full time residence for a small family – possibilities are endless!
What kind of floor will I put my Dome on?
Most of our customers choose to build wooden platforms – they can be elevated off the ground, erected on uneven or sloped terrain, are low-impact on the environment and ultimately removable. For year round use, we recommend insulating the platform.
We provide engineered platform plans for our common dome sizes with detailed cuts, measurements, and angles that you can use to build it yourself or give to a local contractor.
Other options for flooring are poured concrete slabs (potentially insulated with radiant heat), or earthen/ cob floors. For a temporary setup, we can provide heavy duty waterproof ground tarps that can be spread directly on the ground.
We have also built a sprung dancefloor in a dome with a plywood floor over recycled tires!
How do I attach the Dome to the platform?
The dome frame has feet that can bolt into the platform - or into a concrete pad if needed. If setting up directly on the ground, you can also use ground screws or rebar to attach the feet.
Then, the outer cover ideally extends past the edge of the platform if it is a close fit (use ourPlatform Plansthat fit our domes exactly!), and can be fastened with staples or trim to keep weather and critters out.
Please note that we recommend building the platform to our plans to fit the dome exactly – that way it is easy to seal the cover skirt around the edges with some trim to keep weather and critters out. An outside deck can be built off the side of it. If you want to put your dome on a larger, rectangular deck, you need to account for a drainage gap around the dome perimeter to ensure rainwater cannot run under the edge of the dome. Usually in this case, you will want to build up an insulated floor on the inside.
How do I heat my Dome?
A dome can be heated in all the ways a house can be heated.
For off-grid applications, a wood stove is best. However, if you are doing a commercial glamping rental, you may not want to teach all of your guests from the city how to safely and efficiently operate a wood stove. In this case, Pellet stoves, externally vented propane stoves, radiant infloor heat, electric heat or a combination thereof are all good options.
Please make sure to upsize your heat source as a dome does not have the same insulation as a house. If the dome is 400 sqft, use a stove that is good for 800-1000.
We supply chimney and vent flashing kits to fit any size – they can be installed wherever you need on the dome without a pre-determined hole. Just let us know what size you need!
How is a Dome insulated?
Our insulation liner consists of 2 separate layers – a double reflective bubble wrap layer that is pulled over top of the frame, and underneath the outer cover – and an inner fabric liner that creates an additional air pocket to help with insulation. The way the reflective layer works is that it will reflect heat back into the space, aided by the spherical, very energy efficient shape of the dome. This will result in about an R5 overall. However, it will not hold heat for very long after the heat source is out – for this you would need several inches of insulation material.
Many of our customers operate year round with our insulation package and good stoves.
For a permanent structure, you can get the inside of your dome sprayfoamed by a local company to achieve a much higher R-Value more similar to a cabin or house while also eliminating any thermal bridging or condensation on the frame – but it means that the dome cannot be taken down easily anymore. The sprayfoam can then still be covered with the inner fabric liner.
What does it take to set up a Dome?
A dome can usually be set up in 1-3 days with a team of 3 people. You will need extra help, a winch or a truck to pull the heavy cover over. Domes up to 23’ can be set up with a couple of ladders alone, larger ones will require some scaffolding. Other than that, some wrenches, ideally an impact driver with a couple of long sockets (17mm and 19mm), a rope to pull the cover and some ratchet straps to get the tensioning hooks on are all you need.
You can download our installation instructions here.
Do you sell washrooms, kitchens, heating and cooling appliances?
No – due to the myriad ways a dome can be used, styled and outfitted, we decided to leave the creativity up to the customer instead of trying to fit prefab units – you will be able to get much better quality and unique design by sourcing furniture, appliances and fixtures locally or online, hiring local contractors and going with your own style.
How strong are Domes?
Geodesic domes are the strongest structure invented by man (in relation to the materials used) – just like nature invented the egg, Canadian visionary and architect Buckminster Fuller invented the geodesic dome structure consisting of triangles that disperse loads across the entire structure.
We have a few different frame sizes that have been engineered for various snow and wind loads (40-100 psf and up to 300 kmh winds) so you can rest assured that your dome with withstand any weather conditions you may encounter.
We are also able to provide engineer reports (currently for NS, NB, ON and BC) for our most common sizes in order to assist our customers with obtaining building permits.
It depends. Our domes are technically tents, thus temporary structures that can be dismantled in a day.
Many of our customers living rurally decide to avoid the bureaucratic hassle and not apply for permits – as long as the neighbours don’t complain, it is usually fine.
However, if your use is more high profile or a commercial vacation rental business, you may need to obtain permits.
Every province, and every municipality, may have different rules and requirements. Our engineer reports for the load rating, as well as the engineered platform plans, are usually sufficient to satisfy the authorities. We will do our best to assist with the process, however we cannot guarantee that the building department will be open to these alternative structures. In some cases, additional engineering studies are required.
What about the door?
Our domes are designed with an opening and attachment bars to accommodate a standard, 34'80x or 36x80” pre-hung exterior door which are available at any building supply. We recommend a metal door as they are affordable and very durable in the elements. You will be able to choose between a variety of window options and paint it the colour you like. To install it, you just need to create a simple 2x6 frame and bolt the dome frame attachment bars into it. This means 3 pieces of 2x6":
2 pieces of 82 1/4" for the sides
1 piece of for the top 39" for 34" door, 41" for 36" door, or . This piece goes on top of the other 2 pieces.
The door attachment bars of the dome frame are fastened into the 2x6 door frame with screws and washers or GRK fasteners.
Then the outer and inner cover layers are fastened to the door frame with trim.
If your door has a somewhat different size, you can accommodate for the difference with the wooden frame or some blocking - this is an easy and versatile solution that only requires some very basic carpentry skills. We recommend a 34" door for the 16' dome, the other sizes can accommodate both door sizes by simply angling the frame bars accordingly.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The cover lifespan is about 10 years or more depending on UV exposure.
You can easily get a replacement cover when the time comes and enjoy it for another 10+ years.
The frame will last indefinitely as long as it is not exposed to excess moisture or salty air!
You can use a sponge and soap, or easier yet, a pressure washer, to get any debris and algae off your dome. It will come nice and clean again even after years!
Sometimes, there can be soot from the chimney that leaves grey streaks which are a bit harder to clean and may require some scrubbing with soap or bleach.
Scrub the window with a non-abrasive sponge and soap or window cleaner.
If you have the older pleather liner, you can clean it with a damp cloth and soap if needed - make sure not to scrub too hard.
Our new Oxford Fabric liner comes in multiple sections that can be easily washed in any standard home washing machine.
Since the dome cover is impermeable and creates a moisture sealed space, it is important to remove excess moisture from the air in order to avoid any mold or mildew problems.
If you have a kitchen or bathroom in the dome, install an exhaust fan to draw out the moist air. We can provide the flashing kit to install any vent pipe wherever you may need it.
A solar fan will help keep airflow going year round while also helping with excess heat in the summer.
We highly recommend using a dehumidifier regularly especially in the colder months to avoid any moisture buildup.
It can be a good idea to spray some anti-mold-spray around the bottom edge of the inner cover especially behind furniture and appliances, and clean regularly.
What if I get a hole or leak?
Holes or leaks are easily fixed with a specialized Vinyl Glue and a patch. Your dome will come with a patch kit, if you need more, just reach out to us!
What about the panorama window?
Panorama window disclaimer:
The panorama window is a flexible, clear Vinyl that is strong and UV resistant and won’t yellow.
However, it will have some wrinkles and unevennesses that may smooth out over time with heat and sun exposure, but not completely disappear.
Your view will be somewhat blurry, but still beautiful and bright.
This is normal and to be expected for the low cost.
We are currently working on some upgrade options for a more high-end, glass or polycarbonate window - stay tuned.
Zip-off window disclaimer:
The zip-off panorama window can be opened partially or removed fully during the hot season to allow for more airflow.
However, it should not be opened too frequently as a zipper can wear out over time.
It is very important to always make sure there is no tension on the zipper when opening or closing it:
- release the tension on the hooks below the window
- have one person hold and pull the window up while the other moves the zipper so there is no tension on it
We do not warranty any damage to the zipper due to improper or excessive use.
It’s amazing that this is a portable hot tub. It was easy to setup and looks like a permanent hot tub! It took about 2 days to heat to 104. We live in a place that snows so we added extra insulation to the panels and extra ground cover.
The jets are not super strong so I would have preferred getting the Tribeca which is less expensive and comes without jets. It does have bubbles.
But overall a great product, first of its kind I believe.
We pre ordered this sauna. It’s all put together with the help of a contractor. It took 2 guys 2 full days. We are very pleased with the sauna all together. It’s clearly top of the line. The sauna fits 2. Maybe 3 if you want to squeeze. The sauna fits well in our backyard. It adds a sense of tranquility to our favorite space. Off grid was extremely easy to work with. It was clear they put the customer first!
I absolutely love the machine. I use it everyday. I was disappointed to see some paint scratches on it when it arrived. However, after some contact with their Customer Service department we were able to sort it out. I highly recommend getting a freeze dryer!
I was in the market for a power station that has enough power and capacity to power my fridge and some essential appliances at my house. I come upon this power station from OffGrid living Solutions and I have been using it since. It has enough power for a longer period of time and has multiple ways to charge (AC/Solar Panels). This station is perfect in size and comes at an affordable price. Thank you OffGrid Living team and Bluetti ....
My wife and I love this heater for our sauna. We love the automatic feature of the heater where it turns off once the optimal heat level is reached. Sturdy and durable product, especially for anyone looking to install one on their saunas
This unit is perfect for power outages! We were looking for a unit that can power our essentials during outages like TV, fridge, microwave, lights, and our wifi. This unit can also act as a UPS so nothin shuts off when the power goes down. I like to connect my solar panels to the station when it looks like the outage will be extended. GET THIS STATION! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
System performs well in powering things and amazing hardware build quality. One issue I have with AC200Max is that I cannot control it remotely via the internet so when it shuts down due to depletion of battery and turns on again after solar hits the panels, I have no way of turning the AC output on remotely. The other thing is that it lacks portable wheels, carrying this thing is a chore. Other than that, this is a pretty good unit and for those who don't need to have the remote control, this could be your solar generator. OLS team was good and respondant on all of my questions. Overall, this solar generator offers excellent power output and capacity to run nearly anytthing you plug into it.
Wave 2 is a quiet portable air conditioner, even when you put in on Max mode. I purchase this is for my van for during the hot days during camping. Love that I can carry this to around with ease. I plan to use the heating feature once it gets colder. I'm happy with my purchase and can't wait to see how it functions on the heating side.
The AC200 Max and B230 work Great! So much that I added another B230 on the next order. This set up will be used for my farm in the summer and as a emergency back up in my home when it gets cold. Great product! Thx Bluetti and OffGrid Living Solutions
I recently invested in the EcoFlow Delta Pro and I am beyond impressed with its performance.
Setting up the Delta Pro was a breeze. The user-friendly interface and informative display made it easy to monitor power consumption and remaining battery life. Plus, the variety of charging options means I can harness energy from solar panels, car chargers, and regular outlets, making it perfect for both everyday use and outdoor adventures. One of the standout features for me is its portability. Despite its robust power capacity, the Delta Pro is surprisingly lightweight and compact, allowing me to take it on camping trips, picnics, and even to power my work tools at remote job sites.
The customer service I received from EcoFlow was exceptional. They promptly answered my questions and provided helpful insights into maximizing the Delta Pro's capabilities. Overall, I would highly recommend this portable power station.
Fast shipping and overall happy with the order. Everything came well packed. Arnold (customer rep) was extremely helpful during the set up process and helped me with processing the warranty. Been using this for 1 month. Great product and even greater customer service. Would come back to order from them in the future
Great Customer Service Team. The first batch of seeds are already growing. Looking forward to fresh greens. The only negative about this garden is that it was difficult to set up as the manual instructions were unclear
Bought a Solar Kit from OffGrid Living Solutions and successfully installed them onto my cabin. Customer service helped me determine the best kit for my needs. I would definitely come back to this store in the future to purchase products for my cabin
Arrived in a timely manner, no damage, works great and price was great. I'm using this panel for time of use only, I charge up with some back yard solar panels, then power house for 4 to 5 hours a day, my grid solar usually exceeds what I use, true up was $2 dollars to me. With my set up now that will increase!
