Caring for your log home
Log homes, just like any other homes, require
lots of loving care and maintenance if they are to look and feel as good as new
for several years or decades ... the following are a few tips on caring for your
log home :
Treating the logs : Logs of your log home are exposed to the elements and
they need to be cared for. Typically, the wood needs to be treated with a
preservative to protect it from the elements just after it is constructed, and
periodically after that.
Protecting your log home from termites : It might be a good idea to use
termite shields on the foundation wall to protect your log home from termites.
Shrinkage : When wood dries, it shrinks. If this applies to the wood you
plan to use, you might want to build the log homes with allowances for this
shrinkage.
Humidity levels in your home : You might want to maintain a 35 to 50%
humidity in your log home. Low humidity may cause cracks in beams and logs,
loose joints in wooden furniture and static electricity.
