What is the V Factor?

The V factor (or frequency) in a geodesic dome determines the structure’s smoothness and complexity. Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Subdivisions:

The V factor refers to the number of subdivisions within each triangular panel. A higher V factor = more triangles.

  • Shape & Appearance:

Low V Factor: Fewer triangles, more angular, simpler design.

High V Factor: More triangles, smoother, more spherical appearance.

  • Strength & Cost:

Higher V Factors add strength and a refined look but also increase build complexity, cost, and time.

  • Choosing the Right V Factor:

Low Frequency: Ideal for basic shelters, greenhouses, or workshops.

High Frequency: Best for larger, more polished domes like residential homes.
