Geodesic Dome 162 Snowy Knoll Franklin NC Real Estate

Built in all types of climates, Timberline Geodesic Homes offer unmatched energy efficiency. Timberline Domes  use 30% less surface area to enclose the same amount of volume as a box type structure. This means there is less area for heat to escape or outside air to penetrate. In addition, the spherical shape of a geodesic dome provides for natural and efficient interior air circulation. The natural aerodynamics of the dome means that cold air blows around the home instead of hitting a flat wall and penetrating to the inside.
