• Provide free information to help consumers make smart choices.

Benefits of Log Home Living

In addition to the natural, comforting ambiance a log home provides, there are numerous practical benefits of log home ownership, especially for those interested in a green home.

Logs are durable building materials. Properly built and maintained log homes stand for centuries.
Modern manufacturing processes utilize every portion of the log, resulting in far less waste on the jobsite compared to conventional construction. Any waste that is created is typically turned into mulch or sawdust that then can be converted into fuel.

Log homes keep natural indoor humidity balance. If indoor humidity levels increase, timber walls start “drinking” it. If it is too dry, wood will release the absorbed moisture back into the air.

Log homes also can be highly energy efficient—the fact that the logs used are solid and uninterrupted, coupled with the modern sealant materials and building techniques, is what makes them so.

Electrostatic properties of wood do not let static electricity to accumulate. Therefore, the formation of dust is significantly reduced providing relief for those who suffer from allergies.

According to other scientific studies, logs absorb heat energy during the day and radiate it at night to even out the temperature, a principle called thermal mass. This effect can make the occupants feel more comfortable while using less energy over the life of the home.

People Are Talking

We were impressed with the white pine kiln-dried engineered (laminate) log system that Timberhaven offered – when the logs arrived they were beautiful! John and Gabrial Reed, our sales representatives, have been there with us through the whole process. We are excited to be one of the first Timberhaven homes to be built!
