This is the standard in every Timber Block log home, at no additional cost. The R-30 insulation exceeds all new and proposed State Building Codes relating to insulation and is typically more than 4x the level of insulation of some traditional log homes.

The "R" word use to be one that was avoided in the decision process of a log home but due to the change in building codes, R values is now an integral and mandatory part of the building process especially with a log home. Consult a Timber Block dealer or "Contact Us" to learn how R values will not only help you to reduce your energy efficiency (both in northern and southern climates) but also maintain the value of your home.

In combination with Timber Block's R-30 insulation, the "seal" of Timber Block's homes provide an exceptional "thermal envelope". An exceptional thermal envelope will help to reduce energy consumption and to provide a comfortable and stable environment inside your home.

Realize your log home dream in hours, not weeks. Timber Block's unique building system allows for your exterior walls to be assembled on site in hours not weeks or months, which alleviates the home owner of the frustration and cost due to time required in standard log stacking used by conventional log homes.

Timber Block's exterior walls are pre-finished on the outside and inside as well, saving further time on finishing your log home after the walls are raised.

The biggest advantage, of course, is the savings realized from the reduction in man hours spent on the dry-in stage. Most Timber Block homes are dried-in within a few days (including the roof, windows and doors). In less than a week, you can lock the doors to your home.

A true stacked log home building technique combined with its trade marked "Dove Tail Groove" panel joints, both of which can be applied to any of Timber Block's standard or custom designs. Timber Block's fully insulated log construction offers superior insulation (R-30 walls) with the convenience of stacked log construction to bring you the true splendor of a log home.

Timber Block's unique stacking process happens inside our factory to ensure each wall is properly assembled and straight before leaving the factory. Each log is stacked and glued together utilizing a premium adhesive and a thru-bolt system secures the connection of the logs throughout the panel. These two methods provide a seamless seal and increased structural integrity.

Quality is the number one goal at Timber Block, and by controlling the process inside the state of the art facility, and utilizing precision equipment in the process to ensure your dream arrives to the your expectation (and Timber Block's).

Two words quite often talked about in the log home industry and two common problems with a traditional log home. You will often find "settling" and "checking" as quite common terminology on many log home companies materials or website. Many log homes compensate for "settling" or the shrinking of the logs after the log home is constructed. The wall settling will cause the walls to move and you have to compensate for the shrinking of the walls over the life of your log home.

Our wood, which is dried to an ideal 8-10% moisture content, combined with our patented assembly design, eliminates the risk of settling and checking associated with most traditional log homes. These two benefits help to protect your investment. A typical kiln-dried log's moisture content is 15% or higher, the core of the log (cant) may contain a much higher moisture percentage depending on the diameter of the log and by the drying method used by the manufacturer.

Your home is one of the biggest investments you'll make in both time and money. Make sure you are protecting that investment. Why spend hours on maintenance? Worried that the logs of your log home may settle (result of moisture release from log) or settle un-even due to the affects of the sun? South facing walls settling more than the north facing walls?

Timber Block homes are built to withstand harsh environments, from extreme cold to extreme heat. Timber Block's system will not shrink, expand, warp or check (crack) like a typical full log home.

A typical log home will settle as the wood loses its moisture content. Gaps are left between the logs and the windows or doors to ensure these items remain functional or don't break during the log homes settling process. These 'gaps' allow for air to infiltrate the home and lower the homes energy efficiency.

As a traditional log home settles, not only are the windows and doors at functional risk from the wood moving, but other elements such as stairs may have to be adjusted during the life of your home.
