Roof Panels

View of the Stewart/Cool Solargon 30 addition with the roof panels on. To the right is the link which will connect the Solargon to the existing home. This Solargon addition boasts R-42 roof and wall panels giving this super strong structure big advantages over any conventional building.

Above is the link framing to the main house. Two small ponds will be added with a small stream feature running under the link from one to the other.

Glen Haven Cabin

This mountain getaway is just 45 minutes from town in the front range of the Colorado Rockies. Located in the canyon can be cold in the winter, so having a R-42 wall and roof package keeps this cabin warmer with minimal energy demands.

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.
