Hello Friends......

Dome homes are generally much easier to maintain than most "conventional" structures. The reason being is that the domes require less roofing to enclose the same amount of square footage as a rectangular structure and the roofing is subjected to much less stress from prolonged heat. The entire roof is never exposed to direct sunlight at the same time, therefore, the sun will "move across" the dome allowing the triangles to cool off as it does, thus preventing as much heat buildup as is prevelant in a flat or panel pitched roof.

Also, the lack of an attic space greatly cuts down on convection heating of the exterior of the roof and the interior of the dome itself, not to mention that you get more useable space inside the home.

The exterior walls are also easier to maintain because they are generally shorter and require less materials to cover, again, to incorporate the same square footage of space.

Thanks

But I guess dome homes are not that usual in most places. Majority of people and places usually have the conventional house structures. Well thanks for that info anyway.

Perhaps in the future we'll all live in dome homes.
Something tells me that that's a long way off though. Prices will have to decrease drastically.

Nowadays dome home maintenance really expensive. Dome home structure very different from traditional home structure. For dome home maintenance needs large amount of material and extra labor’s working time thus they (material and labor’s time) increase the dome home maintenance cost.
