Choose log homes instead of conventional construction

We began our business with a desire to offer stunning, sustainable log home builds. In addition to motivating people to build sustainably, our goal is to make sure the homes offer a high degree of luxury. Therefore more people will be likely to opt for this kind of construction. Every design is unique for each project, so no two clients will have the same thing. This makes the homes extra special.

Many people wish to connect with Mother Nature and soak up the rustic ambience. This isn't difficult with log homes, but these aren't the sole benefits. We are going to discuss the other reasons why you should choose one of these structures.

Let's begin with the building materials. Trees are a renewable resource, meaning log homes come with a solid green pedigree. When you create a home using solid logs, you are taking the carbon within out of circulation. This is over the home's entire life. You also release much less carbon into the air to produce the materials.

These homes are long lasting as well. While bricks, concrete and steel are durable, timber can last and ages incredible well. There are log homes in Europe that have been in use for over 800 years. There is also apparently a Russian log church that is over 1,700 years old.

Log home builds do a wonderful job at fitting the land too. Logs are organic building materials that need minimal processing. As a result, the buildings blend into the terrain with ease. The lower weight of the materials also means they don't require such huge foundations. This provides even more benefits for the landscape, including less damage from excavation. At no point do log homes feel like you have awkwardly imposed them straight into the environment.

At West Coast Log Homes we take on a myriad of unique projects. Using our international blend of influences, we make it a point to stay relevant, modern, and exciting in each environment. That means we can create really beautiful homes that will fit perfectly into each setting.
