Welcome to our upcoming line of homes a healthier lifestyle and cleaner environment. In this day and age we all have a responsibility to be aware and take care of our precious planet. We are doing our part by offering this new line of ecologically responsible homes. By encouraging the use of materials approved by LEED having inorganic materials, high recycled content, higher R- values, anti fungi/mold/bacteria and locally produced natural materials all helping towards the inside and outside air quality and overall health.
Many study's have shown that the thermal mass and density of the log walls help them to hold the heat 17% better than a conventional wall, this combined with our high quality windows and doors makes for a very energy efficient wall.
Our logs are a renewable resource as we cut the larger and older trees as a selected cut new trees are planted, trees are also a compostable and biodegradable, something that cannot be said for most other products used on other styles of homes. Combined with environmentally safe exterior and interior stains, makes log homes the type of home with one of the lowest carbon footprint over any other type of construction (a carbon footprint is the measurement of carbon dioxide released as a result of using a particular product).
ECCM estimated that there could be a reduction of 88% in greenhouse gases by using Logs as the main construction material. In these kits you will find many other materials that make it a GREENER and safer home like, bamboo flooring, roxul insulation and steel roofing. So please do not hesitate to contact us for questions about this product and how it can help you get the home you desire and the future we all should strive for.
