Why choose Ekodome?
PERFORMANCE
Strong enough to withstand up to Category 5 hurricanes, and more than 140lbs/sqft of snowload*. Superior resistance to heat, water, ozone, UV, and weather conditions. *when covered with marine plywood or HPL
SELF-ASSEMBLY
No need to hire a contractor or a builder. Ekodome kits are optimized for self-assembly, requiring only a handful of people working together in less than a day-time, with minimum set of tools.
EMBEDDED SEALING
Integrated TPE, SEBS and EPDM seals prevent any leakages from the connection points and secure the watertightness at points where cover panels are placed.
SOLID PANELS
Flexibility to cover with any solid material between 5mm and 10mm thickness. Thicker panels are even possible, with a slight modification on the panels.
STRENGTH TO WEIGHT RATIO
Aluminum is one of the lightest engineering materials. Adding the structural integrity of a geodesic dome framework on top of that makes the strength to weight ratio superior.
SUSTAINABILITY
Aluminum is 100% recyclable and long-lasting. 75% of aluminum ever produced in history, nearly a billion tons, is still in use today. You can also disassemble your dome anytime for future uses.
How to cover your dome
Ekodome Full Kits come with numerous panel options
If you want to include prefabricated cover panels in your Ekodome kit, we offer a wide range of materials.
Want to cover it on your own? Still and always an option.
Have an Ekodome frame only kit, and cut your own panels out of any solid material you choose, between 4mm and 10mm.

POLYCARBONATES
Options:
Solid & Twinwall Polycarbonates
(6-8-10mm)
Polycarbonates are strong, stiff, hard, tough, transparent engineering thermoplastics that are known for being moldable, durable and lightweight. Polycarbonate possesses impact resistance 250 times greater than that of glass while also exhibiting exceptional tensile strength. This makes polycarbonate one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics.

GLASS
Options:
Tempered / Laminated / Reflective / Double Pane / Solar Low-E
(Single Pane 6-8-10mm)
(Double Pane 23mm)
Glass is a classic and beautiful glazing option. While other covering materials tend to fade and become opaque, glass does not. It may fog up but that’s all. Glass will, therefore, transmit the same amount of light throughout its life. It’s 100% Flame-resistant, so it’s completely okay to use it in garden areas where barbecues take place.

HPL COMPACT LAMINATE
High-Pressure Laminate, Exterior Grade UV+
Options:
6-8-10 mm
Double-Sided
Colors available
HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) panels are made of Kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resins and subjected to heat and pressure. A decorative layer with synthetic polymer allows the sheets to have numerous color and texture options, providing extremely high strength and durability.

HPL SANDWICH PANEL
Our insulated panels are fabricated with 2 one sided HPL sheets, adhered together with PIR (polyisocyanurate) foam board.
Options:
96 mm
Double-Sided
Colors available
PIR (polyisocyanurate), typically cut into boards, can be used in insulated metal panels, wall cavities, and as insulated plasterboard. PIR has such a high thermal performance, it requires only half the thickness of other mineral-based insulation products. With an Ekodome HPL SIP made with a PIR foam core, expect R-values ranging from 5-7.2 per inch.

Where are Ekodomes?
Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Can we use an Ekodome® all year round?
Yes, our domes can be used all year round in almost any climate condition. It can be built as a temporary or permanent structure, and also can be disassembled if you are moving.
When do you ship once an order is placed?
Our standard lead time is 8-12 weeks from the date that an order is received. Due to seasonality, this lead time may time to time increase or decrease for 1-2 weeks.
Does it come with a cover?
Ekodome kits are optimized to be offered as frame only, to provide you more freedom in customizing your dome. If you get a frame only kit, you are free to use any material to cover your frames, that you can cut according to the templates of the triangles we’ll provide. If you’d like to purchase cover panels too, then you can choose full kit (frame+cover) options we are offering in our store.
Can this be used to build a dome home?
You can build a dome home with an Ekodome kit, as long as you get the approval from the local Building Department. We’ll be providing the engineering blueprints with the structural analysis that gives seismic, wind load, and snow load information. However, they would also require submitting the foundation, flooring and roofing plans for your final project, which is not provided by us.
