If you have ever dreamed of living in a log cabin but have never taken it seriously simply because of all the work it requires, you no longer have any excuse.
Log siding uses half-logs that are nailed up just like regular wood siding, except they give off the appearance of a log cabin. These half-logs are identical to full logs and can be applied over any pre-existing structure with any pre-existing surface, giving a timeless look to most modern homes.
This log siding is still made out of real timber and comes in all types of woods with all types of textures and grains (most commonly pine and cedar). Plus, it’s lighter than full-logs, there will never be any residual log settling, and it can be installed in both the inside and outside of the house to fully complete the natural look.
Besides simply looking authentic, there are a lot benefits that come with log siding. It also provides many saving opportunities, both fiscally and physically:
Log siding is certainly cheaper than using full-logs because it’s mass-produced. But that doesn’t mean that it’s cheap. Depending upon the type of wood, prices tend to range from $1 to $4 per a foot. However, since this material is easier to install than the real thing, the labor costs of having it installed will be less than traditional siding!
This attractive siding will increase your property value, and it is also fully insulated. Due to this energy efficiency, log siding helps to lower your utility bills.
Since the purpose of log siding is to look completely natural, you’ll never have spend extra money to paint and then re-paint and refinish and replace siding on the exterior of your home.
