Features of Log Homes
Living in a cabin or log home offers a closer connection to nature, and a feeling of peace and tranquility. Hewn from whole trees, the natural character of the wood comes through, making your home a natural part of the forest. This means setting aside your ideas of perfect finishes and straight lines. Embrace the natural curves, character, and imperfections, and work with what nature has provided.
Similarly, log construction does not offer the same thermal efficiency or environmental sealing of modern high-tech construction. The natural wood is meant to breathe, to be kept warm with a wood stove, to be lived in close to the natural environment.
While the all wood construction of a log cabin presents an apparent fire risk, the massive timbers slow fire spread compared to conventional construction, and maintain their structural integrity even when charred. Log homes can also be ideal for those with environmental sensitivities, as the primary material is directly from nature.
