Energy efficiency: Our solid wood walls add an extra U=0.22 and transfer virtually no heat or cold, increasing overall thermal benefits and comfort.
Tip: Mineral wool insulation is recommended for log construction. It is impermeable to moisture, has a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass, reduces noise levels and is environmentally friendly.
Roof Insulation: Use locally sourced materials to add rafters above the tongue and groove roof boards. The thickness of the insulation is determined by the required R-value of the ceilings to meet local building codes. Dense polyurethane foam provides maximum benefits, the highest R-value for thickness, and is water-resistant. These additional rafters also increase the roof's load-bearing capacity. |
