Scalability
Patented connector-and-panel system allows quick, easy scalability of manufacturing, closer to printing than heavy manufacturing. DecaDomes® are designed for mass-production.
Value
Cost-effective solution for shelter, storage and greenhouse needs. Easy to Ship, Store, Use, and Re-use. Guaranteed for ten years.
Security
Hard-walled DecaDomes® are superior in every way to tents; Safer, more secure, more durable, more re-usable than tents.
Transportability
Multiple DecaDomes® can be delivered in a single shipping container, or truck and unloaded by hand or fork-lift. A single unit can also fit in a pickup or small trailer.
Comfort
Vertical walls and high ceiling maximize floor space for user comfort.
Strength
The Rhombic Triacontahedral structures first popularized by Steve Baer (who called them Zomes) were a variation on the dome theme and were made of ten walls, and ten roof panels. But Zomes still used a framework of 2x4 lumber, and were constructed in a conventional way.
Versatility
Choice of panels allows easy customization for any climate. Light-weight, man-portable panels allow fast assembly anywhere, with simple tools. Different width panels for multiple-sized buildings from 10 to 18 feet in diameter.
NewHouse R & D has been making and field-testing prototypes and limited production models for years. We have almost 100 building-years of successful field tests without a structural failure.We believe that the DecaDome® system has proven itself to be a superior way to build buildings that are efficient and comfortable to be in. Because of their utility and competitive advantages, we believe that DecaDomes will fill a significant niche in the market for temporary shelter and storage.
