Modular Log Homes Bring Out Simplified Building Process
If your idea of log cabins is weekend getaways in some hilltop or forest areas, then you are strongly mistaken. Today more than 80% of homeowners in and around metropolitan regions have modular log homes. These prefab homes are made of packaged, smooth and uniform milled logs. As the milled logs have been smoothened by processing at the saw mills, they are a good choice for easy-to-assemble log cabins. These modular cabin homes have the charming look and feel of rustic log cabin without the traditional annoying factors of main trance and log cabins. After all, not many of us like the idea of traditional log cabins with chinks in the dried mud between the logs to let the cold air.
Modular log homes are made of processed woods. Mainly woods of pine, fir, cedar, and spruce are used for building these types of homes. White pine or western red cedar is considered as some of the premier wood species to build log cabins. Woods are one of most natural and environment friendly resources to build homes. Harvesting these woods would cause less damage to the environment. Moreover, it’s easy to work with woods than with brick, stone or concrete.
There are several advantages of modular log homes. They don’t let humidity to accumulate. The log has the ability to absorb the outside heat and thus act as a good insulator. They also keep the insects away. These log homes don’t decay easily and last for a long time.
Many of you might argue that modular log homes are no match to traditional site-built homes. But you can design the home with your specifications, and can even choose the floor plans according to your choice. You can go with the manufacturer’s plan or can even customize the home design as per your wish.
Although Modular log homes and panelized homes are two different things, they are related in some ways. These factory-built homes use modern methodology and time-tasted building methods to deliver energy efficient and aesthetically beautiful modular homes just like the new-age log cabins.
Panelized homes also offer a great cost saving option. With the modules being built in the closed controlled environment of the factory, there will be minimal material waste. There will also be reduced onsite labor as the building materials are produced in factories and just need to bring to the actual site for assembling. Due to shorter construction time, you are also saved from paying heavy interests.
Many panelized homes are eco-friendly just like modular log homes. They are made from recyclable materials which are bio-degradable. The prefab homes can even withstand natural disasters like hurricanes or tornadoes. They are affordable, take less time to build and have a range of designs to choose from. These days some manufacturers also bring panelized kit for buyers who want to build their prefab home themselves.
