Yes, solid wood logs are the best insulation in the world. At Riverside Log Homes, we stack our logs to 9 feet, then in the gable ends we put R-19 insulation, in the ceiling we put R-38 insulation, and R-19 in the floors. Then, we add Anderson windows with low E insulated glass and insulated exterior doors. This makes your Riverside Log Home highly energy efficient.
Caulking
This makes Olylog fasteners a great choice for producing a consistently tight fastening system which helps keep your log home more weather proof and draft free. Riverside Log Homes also uses double tongue & groove logs with 3/8" X 3/8" commercial foam stripping across both tongues and log caulking in the groove. As the next course of log goes on, it compresses the two foam strips and gives you double protection from the outside elements and drafts.
