Some terms you may have heard but don’t completely understand may include engineered aka laminated logs, solid logs, and kiln-dried vs. air-dried logs. What are these logs and what advantages do they offer?

These are very important questions!

If you have eight minutes to spare (one minute to read the text in this article and seven minutes to watch a video), we will answer all of these questions for you. So…

Understanding Kiln-Dried Engineered Logs

Dr. Kiln Dry cartoon of log headed doctor holding a cilpboard, Timberhaven Log Homes, log homes, log cabin homes, log cabins, post and beam homes, timberframe homes, timber frame homes, laminated logs, engineered logs, floor plan designs, kiln dried logs, Timberhaven local reps, log home builders, kiln-dried engineered logs, PA log homes, log homes in PA, kiln-dried engineered logsWhat started out as a scientific experience nearly a decade ago has developed into a superior product with value beyond measure. We’re referring to the kiln-dried engineered log. More and more customers are realizing the importance and benefits of building with a sustainable product. In fact, today over 60% our log home projects are produced with our kiln-dried engineered log.

These innovate logs offer the highest-quality option in log home construction.
Here’s why:
• These logs are dry – dryer than any other log.
• They are strong – by virtue of the scientific kiln-drying and laminating processes.
• They are more refined in appearance with virtually no checking.

In fact, Dr. Edwin Burke, Ph.D, has been continuously evaluating our kiln-dried engineered log samples for nearly a decade. In his ongoing studies, Dr. Burke has reported, “Structural strength and dimensional stability during severe weather exposure shows these logs provide a mechanically strong, functionally durable and aesthetically attractive log structure.”

To have a firsthand look at the manufacturing process and to learn about the advantages of utilizing engineered logs in your Timberhaven home, click to play the video below.

To further attest these facts, Dr. Burke published a White Paper entitled: The Use of Laminated Logs in Log Home Construction. His technical analysis is included on Timberhaven’s website and can be reviewed by clicking here.

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!
