| Logs - Where Great Log Homes Begin
Battle Creek starts
each and every home with hand selected, kiln dried, eastern white pine
logs. Eastern White Pine is renowned for its high “R-value,” superior
stability, limited shrinkage, and its’ beautiful grain. It is also
lightweight and easily stained in wide variety of colors. For this
reason Eastern White Pine in the choice wood for all Battle Creek Log
Homes.
The Kiln drying
process makes Eastern White Pine even more stable. Kiln drying helps
remove water and sap from the logs, and minimizes any twisting,
shrinking, warping, checking, or cracking the can occur with non-kiln
dried logs. Kiln drying has a host of benefits and is the standard at
Battle Creek Log Homes.
After each log has
been hand selected and kiln dried, Battle Creek then precision mills
each log into a variety of log profiles each of which features a double
tongue and groove joining system. The double tongue and groove system
has been proven to add strength and rigidity while helping prevent air
infiltration. Each tongue and groove is fortified with a weatherproof
gasket to further ensure an airtight seal. The logs are then anchored
together with lag screws. This combination of tongue and groove,
weatherproof gaskets, and lag screws ensure an airtight seal in each
Battle Creek Log Home.
All great log homes begin with great logs.
