WATERPROOFING OPTIONS
There are many ways that the exterior can be waterproofed.
Besides embeding scrims into painted on elastomeric sealers,
the exterior surface of the dome can be waterproofed
with conventional shingles or with large lapping TPO shingles.
This TPO shingle has been tenaciously bonded to the exterior panel
with contact adhesive to enable you to seal your dome roof quickly.
The TPO shingles extend 3" beyond the edge of the triangle panel and
create a 6" total lap when installed on the dome roof.
A couple of clothes pins hold the TPO back while attaching the panels
6" screws are inserted into precisely pre-drilled holes in the panels.
After the triangle panels are attached and the
laps are arranged to shed rainwater
then the overlaps are fused with a digital heat gun & small silicone roller.
The digitally operated Wagner heat gun costs $40 at Home Depot.
Or, you can purchase a professional Leister heat gun for about $500.
Either type of heat gun will maintain the constant
850 degree F. temperature needed to properly heat weld TPO.
The heavy duty 2 inch wide silicone roller (shown above)
really helps to ensure that all laps will hold tight in high winds.
After the panels are attached the overlapped seams are sealed
by sliding the heat gun nozzle between the laps
while moving the roller back and forth behind the nozzle.
Doing this securely joins the materials so your molecularly bonded
lapping TPO shingles will not blow off and will keep your home dry.

ECONODOME KITS
DESIGN IMPROVEMENT
FACTORY ATTACHED TPO SHINGLES
These triangle panels are easily attached
to the exterior of the EconODome frame
with self-tapping 6" screws that have
a low profile head. There are pre-drilled
holes at the perimeter of the triangle
panels for the heavy duty 6" screws.
OSB spacers are used to form
a ventilation space
under both the siding and roofing.
A full surface ventilation cavity
is created that extends from the
lower perimeter of the ten sided building
to the top of the dome roof where the rising
warm and moist air is allowed to escape.
The intake for the ventilation space
is located at the lower perimeter of the building,
just behind the bottom edge of the siding.
SV3, a product made by coravent.com
is attached behind the bottom edge of the siding.
SV3 keeps the bugs out of the vent space.
The "drying air" space behind both the siding
and the roofing virtually eliminates the
possibility of mold and allows your dome home to be
more easily repaired following a violent storm.
We call our "Produx"
"EconOdome Kits" for a reason.
We include design inovations because we can,
so you can have an awesome dome home
that you can build yourself
with precision cut EconOdome Kits
manufactured by Faze Change Produx.
Another design inovation by Faze Change Produx
is a new type of EconOdome frame kit
that is called, the "Loft Ledge" frame kit.
The "Basic Loft Ledge" frame kit
includes ten pre-fabbed 2x6 riser walls
and ten pre-fabbed 2x6 vertical trapezoids
Also included are 2x4 pre-cut struts and blocking components
that are used to complete the top of the EconOdome frame kit.
The lowest two levels of the building are made with 2x6 lumber,
and, the top of the dome is made with 2x4 lumber.
All the precison cut framing is flush at the exterior surface,
So a "Level Loft Ledge" is created on the interior of the dome
because 2x6 lumber is thicker than 2x4 lumber.
This two inch wide "Level Loft Ledge" can be used to
support the second story loft level.
This inovative feature allows you to more
easily construct a loft level within a dome.
A "T-Beam Loft Ledge" frame kit costs 50% more
than a "Basic Loft Ledge" frame kit.
