Withstanding Nature
This Deltec home was the first home built in Slidell, LA after
hurricane Katrina
Deltec's record against damage to their homes from high wind speaks for itself. For over 40 years we have been producing prefabricated circular homes that seem to be hurricane resistant homes. In 2005, many of our storm resistant homes were put to the ultimate test when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. None of the Deltec homes in her path suffered any structural damage from Katrina's category 5 hurricane force winds. Two Deltec homes were hit by 20-30 foot tidal surges and winds of over 145 mph and still incurred no structural damage.
In March 2008, Deltec partnered with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to rebuild a hurricane resistant home and a hurricane resistant church for a deserving family and congregation in the New Orleans area. The Extreme Makeover staff chose Deltec for the project because of the amazing survivability history of our prefab hurricane resistant home. Read more about this project here.
Deltec does not claim to produce a hurricane proof house. However, we know that in those challenging conditions our wind resistant home design will perform far better than conventional construction and typically better than most other circular structures.
