Fireproof up to 2200°F.
Influenced by wildfires that hit the west coast, we know how precious a fireproof structure is.
At first we considered designing a Geodesic style dome, but it turns out they are notoriously leaky. So we scratched that design entirely and designed the Zome. With the zonohedron design we create a lapped connection between the panels that when paired with our rubber seal makes sure water stays where it should. Outside.
Generally when it comes to snow, one inch of heavy, wet snow weighs about 1.66 pounds per square foot. The Zome’s exterior panels are designed to have a compressive strength of three thousand pounds per square inch. That being said, the panels will only start to fail if you get about 15,000 feet of snow. At this point, more than likely you will have bigger problems than a crushed Zome.
Designed with the idea of a 500 year life-span in mind, we knew our Zomes had to be constructed out of long lasting, rigid materials. After a lot of research and many prototypes, we decided to go with natural ceramic. This neutral composite makes the structure entirely immune to insects and other pests. On top of all that your Zome will never rot either, keeping your zonohedron standing tall for hundreds of years to come!
This isn’t your grandmother’s Portland cement! Which is generally referred to as concrete, and is one of the primary contributors to carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, totaling eight percent of worldwide man-made emissions. The cement used in our bioceramic is magnesium phosphate, also used in radioactive waste storage due to its durability and longevity. And it is a carbon neutral material.
