Dome Houses have been subjected to hurricanes in Florida and tornadoes in Mississippi with no structural damage.
A Dome house on Navarre Beach, Florida took a direct hit from Hurricane Opal in 1995. The Dome house withstood 144 MPH winds and 18 foot tidal waves - with NO DAMAGE!

Our fiberglass dome structure is a product of almost 27 years of research, development, testing and building. Constructed of molded fiberglass with permanent colors, the dome never needs painting and requires little or no outside maintenance, with the exception of an occasional washing to keep it like new.
Built like a giant ice cooler, the double fiberglass shell sandwiches a core of urethane foam and a Space Age Thermal Barrier Foil insulation for a very high energy efficient dome. Also, the dome shape has 1/3 less outside surface than a conventional building for an additional 30% energy saving.
Our dome structure has withstood direct hurricane strikes on the Florida coast (wind speeds upto 144 mph). Height strength, plus flexibility of the fiberglass shell greatly reduces the risk of structural damage or personal injury in earthquake regions. Snow and ice damage is reduced due to the lack of conventional shingles and roofing materials. Its dome shape provides additional structural support during heavy snow accumulations. |

Twenty-seven years of testing under normal living conditions by residents from the Florida Coast to West Texas to the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee have proven the durability and energy efficiency of our fiberglass dome homes.
