In light of rising costs for homes as well as home insurance premiums, many Americans are beginning to invest in natural disaster-proof homes to protect themselves from harsh weather. And while these kinds of homes appear quite odd, perhaps they’re worth the cost?
These domes promise protection from extreme temperatures and winds, while being made of fire-resistant materials like steel and aluminum that can resist damage from storms and fires. Though these structures can cost upwards of $900,000 depending on size and location, they offer an alternative to traditional homes that may be more vulnerable in the face of severe weather conditions – making them a wise investment for those seeking relief from skyrocketing home insurance costs.
Dome homes provide plenty of benefits when it comes to protecting against natural disasters compared to conventional housing structures. The shape of the building means wind is deflected around it as opposed to exerting force onto it; this helps prevent damage done by windy conditions that could otherwise be catastrophic in other buildings.
Additionally, domes tend to require less energy for heating or cooling due to their insulated walls – meaning homeowners could potentially save money on utility bills as well as providing extra protection during extreme temperatures outside. Finally, dome homes typically feature metal walls which grant further protection against flooding or fires than traditional wood-framed houses do.
A dome home may not seem like a feasible option initially given its average cost between $300,000-$900,000; however there are some more affordable options available if one knows where to look. On Zillow currently sits a 4018 square foot dome structure asking price at only $474,900 – boasting four bedrooms, five bathrooms and all the features one needs for everyday living such as dining room and kitchenettes (including split cedar shingles).
Varying slightly in price based on area and manufacturer chosen make these dwellings an attractive option for those looking for an inexpensive way out of paying high premiums due to uncertain weather patterns across America.
