The main benefits of a log home
Log homes have provided
the
traditional living space for centuries throughout Scandinavia and North
America, because their excellent natural insulation and weather
resistance means they are warm
in winter and cool in summer, with the ability to keep you
dry through
the wettest, windiest conditions you can imagine.
Modern techniques in log
lamination
have allowed thermal efficiency, weather protection and durability to
be improved still further, reducing
future heat and maintenance costs, both in terms of your
monetary and the Earth's environmental costs.
By producing your home in
controlled
factory conditions, we're able to provide a set of components
that
fit exactly and can be erected
on site and weather tight in a very short time.
Unlike traditional UK construction methods, this
means that
your new home does not start deteriorating in bad weather, even before
it's finished.
Because the construction
is relatively simple, it's
ideal for awkwardly positioned sites, on hillsides or in
wooded areas, though access will be required, of course, for the
delivery vehicle.
After completion, which
takes less time than traditional building, allowing you to spend more
of your budget on home quality and less on labour, you'll find that a log home can be comfortable and
homely immediately. There's no waiting for it to
dry out before decorating, as there has been a huge saving on water use,
compared to bricks and mortar - even greater if you choose to reduce
the use of plaster, too.
You will enjoy the
opportunity afforded to own a home that is tailored to your needs and
desires, a statement of your own individuality, a world
away from the mass produced products of property development
corporations.
And you'll be making a
positive contribution to a greener
future for generations to come.
