Benefits of Domes

Energy prices are high and going higher, and you don't want a home that drains your wallet during the most basic upkeep. Or, perhaps, you've decided that regardless of energy costs, you want a home that conserves rather than over-consumes. A geodesic dome is unmatched in energy efficiency and might be the right thing for you

 

The Benefits of a Geodesic Dome Home

 

People turn to these structures because they are energy efficient and cost effective building practice. Their structures withstand hurricanes and other storms with far greater success than traditional homes. And they are unique, providing the homeowner something different than all the box homes around them.

 

Unlike some perceptions, they also do not need to be one sphere. There are many options to fit design needs which you can discuss with your homebuilder or contractor.

Geodesic domes are simple and efficient, and some of the most basic models can even be built yourself.

 

From a pure engineering standpoint, geodesic domes are superior to traditional square homes. Geodesic domes are the only man-made structure that gets proportionally stronger as size increases.

 

They are lighter, require fewer materials, are more efficient, are structurally more sound, and are more cost effective. The real question, then, is aesthetics—do you like the way it looks—because all reason points to owning a geodesic domed home.

 

  • Can withstand hurricane winds of 200- km h
  • Not being fixed to the ground the structure withstands earthquakes better than most other structures
  • Most energy efficient structure and design
  • Cheap to build and maintain.
