Benefits of Staying in a Log Cabin

There are several advantages to staying in or owning a log home over more conventional home construction. Longtime log cabin homeowners say that log and timber homes offer many rewards over the stick and brick homes of their neighbors. The benefits start with the building materials. The following are just some of the benefits to consider.

Durability of Log Homes

Long-Lasting. There are plenty of stories of log homes weathering some of the worst weather such as the 2005 Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The home's solid log walls withstood the weight of winds, toppled trees, and prevented damage in several situations.

Environmental Benefits

Trees are Renewable Resources. Trees are a renewable resource, log homes are made from solid logs, so you have the benefit of taking the carbon contained in those logs out of the environmental circulation over the entire life of the log home. Moreover, some log home builders harvest standing dead timber (done in by pesky insects) or purchase logs that come from forests certified as sustainable. Some log house builders are constructing log homes to green building standards as well.

Energy Efficiency of Log Homes

Super Energy Efficient. When a log home is sealed properly (between the foundation and the first course of logs, between the log-to-log connections, and where the roof system meets the log wall), you can have a super energy-efficient log home.

Comfort of Log Homes

The warmth of Wood. Logs are warm to the touch as they have something called thermal mass, a natural property in the logs that helps keep inside temperatures of homes comfortable in all seasons. Log homes are known to stay warmer in the winter months, and cooler in the summer months. This allows the log walls to collect and store energy, then radiate it back into the home.
