![]() This dome home was built in New Mexico and is clad with fire safe DensDeck Prime Roof Board. |
Exterior insulated panels were made on-site. All on-site labor for this dome home was provided by family and friends. More insulation and sheetrock was installed from the inside. ![]() This dome home has a radiantly heated concrete floor that rests on a raised and retained bed of gravel. We call this the "MesaBase" floor and foundation. Click Here & scroll to see more MesaBase info. A gas water heater and a water circulation pump are used to heat the concrete floor. The Basic 2x4 EconOdome frame kit used to build this 2,000sf dome home costs $8,250. Cost to enclose this dome home was about $25,000. Cost to complete the interior was about $25,000 more. Some geographic locations, where building codes are strict, will not allow the construction of the MesaBase foundation without professional structural engineering approval. In order to have two complete floor levels inside you also need a riser wall frame kit. A four feet high 2x4 riser wall frame kit costs $1,750. All other materials will need to be purchased locally.

Pre-assembled riser wall frames and trapezoid shaped frames are assembled at the factory. All custom framing is included with all EconOdome frame kits. Triangle panels made of rigid insulation and DensDeck cover this dome. ![]() Screws with large washers are used to install DensDeck triangle panels over insulation sheeting. The seams and washers are covered with cloth saturated with resins. More waterproofing is applied to the surface with paint rollers. We have found that embedding lapping layers of saturated stretchy cloth between layers of rubbery waterproof coatings over the entire exterior surface helps to ensure a longer lasting waterproof surface.
