Top 10 Reason Why Handcrafted Log Homes Are Better Than Milled Systems
We all know that the quality of the handcrafted homes exceeds our counter parts in the milled home business. The creature features are the same in both homes so the big factor becomes which is system is better. If you think about it, better can be perceived as a subjective item or price orientated. We need to demonstrate why we are better. I have compiled a listing of ten reasons why a handcrafted log home is superior/better that a milled system. Some of these items are specifically related to the log system and the others are a result of having a craftsman design and build a custom home. These are not in specific order.
- Carefully hand selected seasoned logs.
- All logs are carefully hand peeled and treated prior to installation.
- No exposed butt joints which eliminates the potential for air infiltration.
- Larger log systems than milled systems provide a thermal mass which provides better insulation properties and reduces the need for additional insulation
- All joinery is designed to be self-draining eliminating the opportunity for water infiltration and damage.
- Offers a more unique home using the natural characteristic of the wood as the feature.
- A better value in terms of holding value and application.
- The fitting of a full scribe home offers a tighter fit and is better in regards to interlocking saddle notched corners.
- Built by true craftsmen with a keen sense of skill. Each home is unique and a one of a kind.
- Full-length logs offer more strength as opposed to multiple length logs put together.
