As the old saying goes, “for 200 years we’ve been conquering Nature. Now we’re
beating it to death”. Everyone needs to jump on the Eco-friendly band wagon
these days. There are lot of options for being eco-friendly from using solar
power and recyclable material to building eco-friendly housing. Log homes are
the best choice available for building eco friendly homes today. From planning
and construction to living in the Eco friendly wood homes, every activity has
little or no negative impact on the environment. Though the Eco friendly wood
homes are offered by various companies, not all of them are equal. You should
know some factors about the Eco friendly wood homes before choosing the one for
you.
Eco friendly wood homes made from Northern White Cedar are better than
others
Eco friendly wood homes are made of different types of wood. Most of the eco
friendly wood homes are made using the “Dry Dead Standing trees”. As the name
indicates, this type of wood used in constructing the log homes will be of very
poor quality. Though many log home manufacturers claim using the “Dry Dead
Standing trees” as the cheapest and best option, this is simply untrue. The true
fact is that though the log homes made from “Dry Dead Standing trees” needs low
initial investments, the maintenance cost of these log homes will be very high.
Getting log home constructed using the “Dry Dead Standing trees” will end up in
a lifetime of repairs and maintenance.
When it comes to the best wood for constructing the log homes, the Northern
White Cedar are the ones to look for. There are countless numbers of benefits in
using Northern White Cedar in the construction of the log homes. One of the main
advantages of this type of wood is it’s unsurpassed durability. The Northern
White Cedar can retain its good appearance and toughness for more than 100
years. The maintenance cost of the log homes constructed with Northern White
Cedar will be much less when compared to the other types of log homes.
Northern White Cedar log homes are better than White Pine Log Homes
White pine is also widely used in the construction of log homes. Though white
pine log homes are better than the ones constructed from “Dry Dead Standing
trees”, they too have some drawbacks. White pine logs do not have the capacity
to resist insects and rot. This means the log homes made from white pine needs
some special treatment to prevent insects entering the house. You don’t have to
worry about insects and rot if you are living in a log home constructed with
Northern White Cedar. Researches revealed that Northern White Cedar is imbued
with natural resins that repel insects and resist rot and degredation.
Considering all these benefits, the Northern White Cedar log-homes are the
best eco-friendly homes available in this planet.
