Are Continental Dome Homes energy-efficient and suitable for severe climates?
Continental have been built from the highest elevations as in Alaska to the equator. To allow for the greatest adaptability to local conditions, we offer upgraded, energy-efficient roof, wall and floor insulation packages, and a variety of high performance windows, including energy-efficient, low-e, argon gas-filled windows for cold climates. For hurricane-resistant homes and earthquake-resistant homes, we conform to the highest criteria. And for salt-air and tropical climate homes, we offer treated lumber and special corrosion-resistant galvanized and stainless steel packages for metal connectors and fasteners. Snowload package values are available up to 100 pounds per square foot and can be custom designed beyond that level to meet local requirements.
