5 Things Only A Log Home Owner Would Understand

There is something magical about the appearance of a log home. The smell of the wood, the beautiful and natural wood grains, and the ambiance of coziness that this type of home provides, are a few of what makes a log home special.

Building a log home is very different from building a traditional home. Everything from the materials, layout, foundation, and structure will be customized to the particular needs of a log home.

While everyone can certainly fall in love with a log home, there are a few things that only log home owners understand about owning this type of structure:

1.       Log homes are much more efficient at regulating heat. Wood is a natural heat insulator and wood's thermal properties can maintain a temperature much more naturally than conventional heating and cooling systems.

2.       Log homes require much less decor. The wood stain and natural grains are stunningly beautiful and provide a unique decor element throughout the home that no paint or wall accents can match.

3.       Log homes are everlasting and can withstand all weather elements. There are 800-year-old log homes around the country that are still standing in beautiful condition. Depending on the type of wood you use, your log home will certainly outlast a conventional home.

 

4.       Log homes are peaceful and quiet. Because of the wood's thermal properties, a log home is essentially sound proof.

5.       Customizing is at its best with a log home. Since wood can be manipulated and still remain intact and strong, incorporating unique details in wood trim, staircases, and railings is far more attainable than with a stick-built home.
