      What’s the difference between the Ekodome® Original Series and the Ekodome® PRO?

      Choosing the Right Geodesic Dome Frame System for Your Needs

      Ekodome® offers two signature dome frame systems, Original Series and PRO Series, each designed with different purposes, performance levels, and use cases in mind.

      The main difference is insulation and permanence:

      • The Original Series is a non-insulated, lightweight, modular system.

      • The PRO Series is a heavily insulated, permanent architectural system.

      Let’s break down the key differences to help you choose the best fit for your geodesic dome project.
