The heart of the Strongwood
Difference is in the kiln-dried logs!
All
kiln-drying is NOT the same! All our logs are kiln-dried for 28 to 34 days
at 180 degrees, bringing the moisture content from 15% to 18% or LESS!
Key Benefits:
- Properly kiln-dried logs
mean easier building, better stain absorption, no settling or shrinking,
less checking, an a superior quality home.
- Logs are more uniform
and dimensionally stable.
- Kiln-drying means no
mold, wood decay, fungi, larvae, eggs, or insects.
- It means we do not have
to spray or dip our logs with any type of harmful chemicals in order to
prevent these problems
- No special plumbing to
account for movement of logs
- No special HVAC
construction to account for movement of logs
- No special construction
techniques (spaces or gaps) when framing windows or doors
- All our logs are graded
using log industry standards
- Pitch in the wood is crystallized
by the heat in the kiln and this prevents the sticky substance from seeping
though the logs
- More than 10,000 pounds
of water can be removed from a typical log house, significantly reducing the
weight of the logs
- Strength and stiffness
of the log increases the ability for screws to hold better
- Interior and exterior
finishes can be applied immediately after construction and these
applications LAST LONGER
The
Essence of the Strongwood Difference.
