Description:
Lexa Dome Homes Ltd. manufacture wooden domes and other curved wall products using engineered panels replacing the framing component of conventional stick frame construction. Our products vary from supplying only the dome shell, a partial shell like a band shell or domed ceiling, to a full turnkey custom home. Anywhere the panel method for curved walls can be exploited. Lexa is also bringing the traditional Quonset design into the forefront using our panel method. These Quonset designs are more an industrial component for products encompassing garages, a basic garden shed, storage, and temporary structures. Our focus is quality and functionality.
Lexa Dome Homes Ltd. is a contractor, building complete homes and structures using its domes (primarily elliptical), stick-frame construction, and the standard industry sub-trades from foundation to shingles. Our buildings have no special trade requirements other than the expertise for manufacturing and installing the actual dome. Our dome homes have no roof trusses to slow the building process or waste space. Installation is fast. The dome itself can be up in as little a day and lock up in as little as two weeks. A second, and in some cases a third floor, can be installed even after the dome is completely erected and finished to lock up. Our homes will be ultimately unique, some having quite amazing designs and often combining a myriad of construction methods.
Lexa Dome Homes Ltd is dedicated to be a global player supplying cost effective, green, sustainable, and energy efficient homes. In these uncertain times of climate change and global warming, the Lexa dome can give home owners additional security against earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, high winds and heavy snow loads. Lexa does not produce the traditional geodesic domes but rather its architectural plans are primarily elliptical monolithic wooden domes providing the inner ceiling height not usually attained with geodesic and standard spherical domes.
