Solargon Homes: September 2010

Tuesday, September 21, 2010

With the extremely dry conditions and the recent fires in Colorado, this project has taken extra precautions for fire mitigation. Along with the SIPs panels which are very fire resistant the Willetts have chosen metal roofing and concrete siding.

Welcome to Solargon Homes.
Solargon cabins and homes were the natural development of refinement and timing. Our designs reflect the trend in downsizing and energy efficient building. Start small and add as you need, or combine our building component sizes to build the living space that fits your needs. Using ultra efficient and super strong polyurethane SIPs walls, roof and floor panels, Solargon has created uniquely designed living spaces that result in optimum living comfort and significant energy savings with the most efficient building systems available. As building codes mandate higher standards for compliance, the cost of conventional building has risen to make SIPs competitive with big advantages over "stick built" homes.
Our homes are bright and open inviting light in with improved airflow.
"An octagonal house is cheaper to build, allows for additional living space, receives more natural light, is easier to heat, and remains cooler in the summer. These benefits all derive from the geometry of an octagon: the shape encloses space efficiently, minimizing external surface area and consequently heat loss and gain, building costs etc."

Solargon living spaces are the exterior SIPs envelope or SIPs panels. Because of the many interior and exterior treatment options such as siding, roofing, windows, flooring, etc. we offer the shell , super structures, connectors, venting skylight and you choose what finishing to complete the living space. Our cabin assembles in hours and the larger Solargon 30 can be assembled in as little as two days.
