My grandmother has told me about her and her family exile to Siberia when she was young. It was so cold here, that the temperature in all seasons was below zero, only in summer it was just zero. The ground was permafrost here. They have lived in a small log cabin for about 7 years, before backing to their country. When she was telling me this, I was shocked. I did not understand how could they live in a small wooden log cabin? And she said, that it was always warm and comfortable here. Since then I was really interested in these buildings, so I want to tell you all benefits about it.
There is less noise. You can really notice, that you will not hear cars traffic, flying airplanes over your house or a noisy neighbours. Log home because of its solid structure, reduce noise much more than the other wooden buildings.
It keeps warmth in all seasons. It does not matter if it is winter or summer. There would be always normal temperature in a log cabin. Because of its good wood hermetic structure, there is less ability that warmth would go out.
Energy use is more efficient. If we collate log cabin with other buildings, we will see that it is about thirty percent efficient more than an ordinary house.
It is the best investment. You can live here, make a garden log cabin, rent it for other people or just realize or maybe sell it. An appraisal of it can be about thirty percent higher than the costs of other buildings.
Maintenance of a log cabin is very easy for everyone. It does not need any special upkeep. If your roof and rain drain system are clearly assembled, you do not need to care about molds, mildew which appear from high humidity, because processed wood is dry by itself and if you bear log home surface with waterproof material there will not be any problems at all. And a maintenance of the log cabin is cheaper then of other buildings.
Log cabins are resisting to fire. There is no space for air, so the fire will not be able to spread, so logs will burn very slowly like logs on a campfire. It needs to mention that burnt logs can be easily replaced or restored with sandblast to get back their original look.
It is called 刧reen building". Log cabins are friendly to nature, because it is built from natural material, which is taken from the same nature. The building blends with the environment. It is not only organic, but the best choice for people which have problems with their health.
And all in all I can say, that now I am understanding why my grandmother told me, that the log cabin was warm and comfortable. If she could live here in very cold winter than all benefits of it are real and it is worth to build. If you like nature, to relax and run from the city routine in hot summer or cold winter - log cabin is a very good choice. When you have it, you will not need to look a log cabin for your holidays - you will have your own holiday place. In my opinion log cabins are the most peaceful buildings at all, because it does not make any damage for you and nature too.
