Log Homes
More and more people are building their brand-new homes using an old-fashioned method - log framing. Today's log homes deliver a warm and cozy environment, AND energy efficiency.
From an energy perspective, the mass of the logs themselves act like a battery. In the winter, the logs store the heat from the house during the day and release it at night. The same happens with cooled air from the house in the summer.

And unlike its primitive predecessors, today's log home interiors feature lighter, natural colors, more open space, and more sunlight inside the home.
